    Very good food. The pasta is delicious and everything came warm. The service wasn’t particularly warm or caring which is a bit disappointing for the standard of the restaurant.

    Beef burger was a generally alright dish, nothing special for how popular the place is. Avo toast with the chilli, we were told there was minimal chilli but instead they dollop quite a large amount, good if that’s your thing, bad if you originally didn’t want chilli. Would recommend for breakfast as they have much better options, particularly pastries, but find somewhere different for lunch in future.

    Loved it. So fresh, authentic and genuinely amazing flavours. The intimacy of being right there and seeing your food so cleverly prepared is also a great way to dine
