The staff were lovely and attentive. I had the chicken schnitzel which was quite nice. The salad had a really nice dressing and the overall portion was good. My partner had the lamb which unfortunately was not good- the mash was bland and the lamb was tough. A little bit pricey overall.

Booked a meal here for Dinner, The only negative was the size of the entree' From previous photos of The Bruchetta starter that had been reviewed, we were excited and duely ordered a Bruchetta for starter and were somewhat taken aback & disappointed when one small sliced piece of Slightly over cooked bread came out with 6/8 cherry tomatoes and cheese spread on it with micro basil and a drizzle of balsamic sauce over those. Traditionally not a bruchetta and quite small & not warmed through either. At the price for the entree' at least x2 pieces would be more welcoming & if this is a spin on the traditional, then it'd say lower the price as it is a bit steep for what you get, looks great tastes ok but not bruchetta, a nice spin on it though. For mains we ordered gnocchi & the salmon dishes which were very enjoyable, tasted great and though not quite sure about the pork (sausage) through the gnocchi, which left the overall dish looking a little grey. All mains tasted great just a few little things regarding the pork but it didn't effect the flavours etc. Drinks where great as were the cocktails & bar staff and serving staff very helpful and welcoming. Great atmosphere, nice decor and a great spot in Pakenham. Having been a chef for over 30 years, it's wa da nice change to get out & about & explore this areas food establishments for a night. In finishing I'd say I'd come back again to try the lunch service and see if they've taken note of reviews etc. For the amount we paid for the meals, drinks etc, it would be worth checking the place out for all the hard work that's clearly being carried out, just watch the portion sizes guys, starters need to be bigger. Well done & plenty room for improvement.👌🏻👌🏻

Came for our anniversary dinner. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Food arrived at acceptable times and noise and ambience were fine. Food is pricey, but definitely worth it. We will be coming back again.
