The staff are incredible, friendly attentive and wonderful. The decor is divine but the meal sizes and quality are not 5 star. I have no problem paying for high quality food experiences but this was disappointing. The beetroot salad tastes like Golden Circle tin beetroot, the steak and lamb is dwarf size and the wine is overpriced. The taste was also sub-par. The steak was well cooked though. Large selection of wine but was overpriced. I was so annoyed with the experience of the small portions I opted for an ice cream from 7/11, rather than give them another cent. If yiure going to pay 300 for a meal, you want to walk out satisfied and not hungry.

Jana has the potential to be a great restaurant in Newcastle: their service was 100% and the venue itself is stunning. Like the other reviews, the menu needs a redesign so that value better matches the price point. My steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious but it comes with no sides. The $14 salad is literally mesculin mix with chopped avocado and cherry tomatoes tossed through. The octopus is covered with some agar, jelly sheet and I felt that it’s an odd texture to combine with seafood – my initial thought was ‘I hope that it’s intentional rather than the octopus being off’. For a couple glasses of wine, entrée , main and side salad, I spent over $150 for one person
