    Everything was perfect except for the lightning… too dark, we had to pull out flashlights to read the menu…or see our food in our plates. Other than that… very good food!

    Great waitress. Great food. The only thing I would change is how close the tables were - on both sides we got looks from the other diners when we moved our chairs in and out

    The food is outstanding; even on a rainy night the parklet is kept warm and cozy with standing heating units. This is my go-to destination in Rockridge.

    One of our favorite go-to local restaurants. Does not disappoint. Especially if you love garlicky mussels with hot crispy fries and a glass of wine.

    Excellent dining experience. Friendly, welcoming staff, accommodating our wishes for seating and anticipating our next request. Malia was a genuinely friendly and helpful server. The steak was superb, pre-sliced, with wonderful whipped potatoes and flavorful spinach. The sauce was especially well done. We had to compete with each other when dividing up the last morsel of steak. The mussels were, as “advertised” in reviews, excellent. Plump and fresh, in a fine sauce, I believe it was Pernod. The golden cauliflower soup was also tasty and satisfying. We ordered more than we could safely consume, lol. Take home box was anticipated. We seriously struggled with the desire to order the cheesecake dessert. We really couldn’t do it physically. But it took all of our mutually shared fortitude to resist. Next time, and we order dessert as a starter, ha ha ha! It was a little loud in the back patio, but it wasn’t overbearing, and easily became background sound. It’s been too long since our last visit.
