    Entrees & pizza were delicious. Pasta was just OK. Serving of Tiramisu was enormous! We dined on a Friday night & it was VERY noisy & cold. Unfortunately we were seated near the door & a cold blast was felt every time the door opened. Service was friendly & efficient.

    Great place to go before a show at one of the Theatres in the precinct. Quieter than most other restaurants, and the food is relatively plain and simple for the 'older' people who don't like anything spicy (read: anything spicier than salt and pepper). Don't get me wrong the food is tasty, but there are a number of nice simple choices.

    Amazing food as always. Love that there’s quite a few options for vegans and not just smashed avo on toast like most places. Brought some friends here for first time and they were very impressed esp by the coffee options. Staff are always great but our waiter today was next level. Thanks again.

    Very nice High Tea for special occasion. Quite pricey so would only go there for special occasion. Staff were friendly and chatty, but not very attentive. Had to ask for drinks menu twice (first person obviously forgot.) Had to walk to other side of restaurant to order second drink as no staff were in the vicinity for some time.
