Went for Saturday lunch. Tasteful and modern decor, vast improvement on your average chinese restaurant. Service was impeccable, though there weren't many other diners to juggle. Food tasted okay, and was nicely presented. Found the calamari too heavily battered and oily. The almond cake was pleasant, and it was nice to have options other than the usual fritters on the dessert menu. We had the set-price lunch banquet, which was reasonably priced considering the ambience, service, and food quality.

Relatively new bulk-billing centre, with on-site pathology and radiology. Not sure if there is a dentist yet, and there's a pharmacy under construction. Appointments not accepted, so there can be a 1-2 hour wait to see a doctor (probably to be expected at a bulk-billing service). Reception staff are very pleasant, and the doctors seem reasonably competent.

The food here is delicious, and the ambience pleasant. They seem to use quality ingredients, and the food is not gluggy or oily. Service is not-so-great; if you opt to BYO, only bring red wine with a screw-top cap, as you end up opening the bottle yourself, and will not be offered an ice-bucket. Overall, however, this is probably Cheltenham's best.

I've just discovered this gem. The stylish dining room has a warm ambience. Wait staff are attentive, and know how to make you feel at ease. Beautiful food...try the prosciutto-wrapped chicken, and the chocolate fondant; you will not be disappointed. Fine dining at a very reasonable price.
