We had a great time for a post graduation celebration. We had an extra person last minute come along with us and they were so kind to rearrange tables to accommodate us. Our waiter was lovely and all staff were friendly, food great. Will recommend and return again soon.

The service and food were fantastic. I had the butternut squash and sweet potato with chili soup and a Caesar salad with prawns. Both dishes were simple yet phenomenal in taste.
