    Great food, service is good but the wait staff could be a bit more attentive, especially when your drink is empty and you're sitting there trying to order another one, but nobody looks at you making it hard to get their attention. I never understand these restaurants who aren't attentive to drinks: my friend and I probably would've had at least another 2 - 4 glasses of wine between us if the staff had been more attentive to our drinks. What can I say, many Australians like to drink! They only had 3 red wines by the glass, but they were out of 2 of those choices, and yes, of course, the only one they had left to purchase by the by the glass was the most expensive one. But the food is great here.

    Delicious food. Our group of 10 on Anzac Day really enjoyed the food- especially the duck dish. The staff were attentive. We would go back.

    Beautiful palatable dishes. Authentic Indonesian flavours despite the modern setting and a few twists in recipe and presentation. Very friendly waiting staff! The cocktail and mocktail choices are very creative and delicious!
