    The food was great, and the vibe and music were really lovely. Unfortunately, we did feel a bit rushed, staff started asking about takeaway boxes quite early, even though there was still around 45 minutes until closing. It seemed like they were trying to get us (and the table next to us) out sooner than expected, which made us a little uncomfortable. We ended up packing up and heading to another place to finish the night. Overall, it was a good experience in terms of food and atmosphere, just slightly let down by the feeling of being hurried out.

    Absolutely awesome experience! Had a catch up with friends and had an amazing time. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Very open about when they next needed the table but then so graciously allowed us to stay longer. Food was amazing! Absolutely cannot go wrong going here!

    A great place to take the family young children grandparents for an early dinner when you know your meal is going to be slightly chaotic.

    We went on a busy Friday night and were seated inside. Initially we were left to ourselves for a bit longer than we thought was reasonable but once we ordered the food came quickly. We had an entree size calamari followed by the lamb platter. The two of us shared both dishes. The calamari was freshly cooked, crunchy and delicious. The lamb platter was very generous served with salad chips, 2 dips and bread. It was also very tasty. We were impressed with the quantities but especially the quality of the food. Wine was also reasonably priced. A wonderful discovery that we will definitely repeat.

    Friendly greeting on arrival, the main dining room was a bit too cool with the air con so relocated to Parklet which was great spot catching the late afternoon sun. Prompt & attentive service to take our drinks order. Our meal (shared mixed grill) was beautiful, the different meats tender & expertly prepared with chips, dips & bread & salad items finishing off the platter. The meal is very generous in size. With a nice wine each the meal was less than $70. Great value for 2 people for a quality meal. The staff are all very friendly providing an enjoyable experience all round.

    Food was pretty average. Service was good up until the bill was given halfway through dinner and told the next seating was here and we had to leave. Very poor form
