From the moment we arrived, the dining experience was excellent. We were warmly welcomed and offered a choice of tables, setting the tone for a relaxed and thoughtful service. The staff were incredibly attentive—offering great recommendations and helpful guidance on how best to enjoy the dishes, including wait times. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly the result of a well-crafted menu. We shared the ribeye along with the wedges, and it was more than enough for two, especially when paired with a couple of small plates. A special shout-out to Arthur, who made our visit even more enjoyable. He checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed and added a friendly touch with his conversation throughout the meal. We’ll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Went with 5 friends and ordered the set menu and a couple of drinks. The food was fantastic, and being able to try 4 entres, 2 mains and a dessert for $45 was extremely good value. Not to mention the food was absolutely delicious and the variety of greenery and fairy lights made the night feel magical. 10/10 would recommend for a meal out with friends.

Warm Vibes and Incredible Food in Surry Hills This place is an absolute gem! The food is consistently delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavour. What really sets it apart, though, is the atmosphere. Pauline, the owner, is a ray of sunshine — so warm, generous, and genuinely happy to see every customer. You can feel the love she puts into the place, and it makes the whole experience that much better. The staff are just as friendly and welcoming. Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or settling in for a long lunch, you’ll leave feeling looked after and smiling. Can’t recommend it enough!
