On arrival last night, a fab welcome and lots of Christmas wishes from all that work there. We got to sit near the pond, which was lovely. Service was amazing,  just so knowledgeable,  friendly, and had a cheerful vibe.  The food was delicious.  We certainly tried all we could. No complaints from anyone in our group. The cocktail selection is also on point, especially that ginger crush.   All food sampled is shown in photos. Over the years, I have gone here now and then, and Cibo never has never let me down. Thank you

E X C E L L E N T! We went for the 4 course set menu, scallops for the appetiser - delicious! The pork bell and the chicken were our entrees, and it was great. For mains, we chose the fillet and the duck, and oh my soul, it was divine. The dessert was great!

The service was excellent. Just great! It's probably our new favourite restaurant.

We went for four courses lunch. For appetizer we had scallop and duck parfait. Scallop was good. Duck parfait I thought was a bit weird with the waffle. For entree we had beetroot tartare and fried chicken. We liked both. For main we had eye filled and snapper. The snapper was one of the best I had but I found the eye fillet a bit underseasoned and the crayfish cream sauce that came with it a bit underwhelming. The beef itself was cook well though. Dessert was the passionfruit sorbet which was fabulous. I highly recommend the salted caramel pavlova cocktail.
