    We have been visiting here four times with my family, for special occasions. We travel from Mt Martha, Morialloc, Seaford, Werribee, Gippsland meeting here as a neutral place in Berwick. I love the fantastic service from the owner and staff here, everyone is so happy and friendly. They even have entertainment on the weekends from 2-5pm, which I think brings the atmosphere to this place very relaxing. We have booked here for next week Mothers Day. Highly recommend to all my family and friends. Keep up the good work Kyla

    Weather was perfect for we opted for outdoor seating! Food and service always great here! Was a vibe, we had a great night always do. Would be great if a speaker could be out side so you can hear the live music. But when I booked I chose to sacrifice the music for the outdoor seating
