A brilliant vegetarian dinner! So inventive .. beats everything I have recently experienced! Excellent Muscadet but very disappointing red wine from the Canary Islands - avoid! $1200 for 5 people including a bottle of Champagne, a bottle of white and a bottle of red.

My friends complimented me of booking Casa Nova for a Friday lunch and catch up for the five of us. They praised the delicious food and the array of choices on the menu (as did I), the exceptional service of the staff, the enjoyment of being able to chat with each other without being disturbed by noise from others, the ambiance, spacious surrounds, view of the park below, the convenience of being so close to public transport (one couple arrived by ferry, the other couple came by train and the light rail to Circular Quay (as did I). Will definitely come again.
