Getting onto the food, there was a selection of sweet and savoury servings. I was immediately drawn to the tandoori chicken with mint yoghurt and shaved cucumber on a brioche bun. It wasn’t bad, but it certainly wasn’t anything amazing.

What was amazing though was the beetroot and feta arancini with saffron aioli. I hate beetroot and this completely won me over.

The mushroom and brie tart with caramelised onion mascarpone was a delightful surprise. Tangy and crumbly I thought it was delightful.

I tried my best to enjoy the smoked salmon with herb sour cream rainbow bagel, but the bagel was stale and the salmon had a strange taste to it. I would describe it as tangy, but that isn’t quite right either. It was cool to see the rainbow bagel but this was all spectacle and no substance.

The sweet section was a struggle for me. The mango ginger slice with rainbow sour stripe was a completely fine sweet, but as it turned out, it would be the best of the bunch. The vanilla biscuit tart filled with mandarin curd and Italian merinque, was pretty atrocious with only the tart mandarin flavour being present. The strawberry mousse was way, way too sweet and I swear I could only taste the sugar. As if to be the mousse’s opposite was the berry chocolate dipped madeleine with chocolate freckles which was a bland chewy spongecake that left more than a little to be desired.

Being in the Sheraton is nice, and the presentation was delightful and pretty but that was all it had to offer. For $89pp I would have expected more effort, more thought, and simply tastier food.

I must say that the staff were delightful and very helpful. No complaints there, in fact, they gave fantastic service.
