What a lovely restaurant. We visited while on holidays from Sydney after a recommendation from a friend. The full experience was incredible. Duck pate and winter salad were highlights but we loved all the dishes we had and the order in the dishes were presented really made the meal. The place was packed. Don’t miss this gem of place.

Really great service--we had a delicious and beautifully served dinner--the pastas and the pizza were flavorful, abundant, and served simply--delicious! The best was the meatball appetizer with focaccia on the side and wonderfully fresh flavorful sauce. Friendly service and good feelings all around. As a local this place is total keeper!

We had a great experience! Food was very enjoyable (besides that we couldn’t get the popcorn chicken that was already sold out). Outstanding service. Fun yet a bit wacky playlist :)
