About

If you’re living for the delicious dining, the AA rosette restaurant will look after you. Expect an innovative and seasonally led menu with a warm welcome. Like all good things in life, food is best served around the table with loved ones and there is a menu to please a crowd – appetisers to pique your interest, pizzas for a slice of comfort, sharing options for two, dishes inspired by an Italian American influence, and a lunch spread to keep you going.
