We had a wonderful dining experience at your restaurant. The food was delicious — fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and efficient without being intrusive. The staff takes pride in both the kitchen and the customer experience. I’ll be returning and recommending your place to family and friends!

Spilt a whole cocktail on the birthday girl with no apologies. Got discount on the bill however, no apologies was made to us. I had to ask for compensation for the spilt drink. The service was absolute crap. The food was amazing but wouldn’t come back because of the service. Appalling service!!!!!!

Terrible experience. By far the worst dining experience. Extremely rude staff. No one to greet and seat guests. The chef had to help direct me. Unfortunately directed me the wrong way but appreciated he tried. Didn’t put orders through that were placed. Didn’t let us order set menus. Food took over 30min to come out Tables arrived after us, seated and received FULL meal before our food came out. Never offered water, when we did was 1 cup at a time, each person had to ask for water. Drink orders sat on the bar for 20mins and not brought the over. The place wasn’t even 10% full and completely hopeless. I spoke to friends who work in the same building said they also won’t go back because the service is so terrible and the staff are rude. The staff didn’t apologise once. Took zero accountability, couldn’t even say sorry. Place was covered in cockroaches on the booths and seats. Was disgusting. Overpriced for appalling service. Mind blown at the lack is customer service skills across ALL of the staff. Not one staff member could do their job properly or even be accommodating. There’s a reason this place was dead on a Friday night. Train your staff, clean your venue, get pest control. Horrendous experience. Clearly got no idea what hospitality is. Believe the bad reviews of this place. They ain’t lying. There’s so many wonderful restaurants in Sydney, this isn’t one of them.
