    We recently broke the restaurant record for most burgers eaten by a single customer (4), who also ate the Murry Cod and Macaroni alla Vodka in the same sitting. All I have to say is, next time we go back, that record will be broken by the same man!

    Fantastic ambience and beautiful location. A truly European vibe in the heart of Sydney. Great lighting for a date night or catch-up w friends. Wonderfully imagined and created cocktail list , with emphasis on Negroni , of course. Also there are many cocktail classics and a decent wine list to complete the drinks menu. The food was delicious. We ate at the bar which was lovely but will try the private dining when we return with a larger group .

    This is one restaurant that does live up to its name. Food and service were terrific. Good value too. Very helpful waitress found and returned my payment card when it inadvertently slipped from the bill wallet.
