    First time after being on thier email list for a long time. Had their Easter Buffet. We are not big eaters so the deal was good value. A number of small shared dishes with a bottle of wine. The food was fine but nothing outstanding. The place was busy but did not seem to have much of a buzz. Good solid place for a meal, lots of deals. Big eaters may need to order extra. Good to see the cocktail bar next door happy hour is booming

    We had the pre theatre $50 tasting plates with a glass of wine. Nice flavours served at the right pace before going to the Seymour Centre for the Wharf Revue.

    Food was really great - tapas style. I am a coeliac and it was great to have so much choice on the al a carte menu. We had an early booking to get to the theatre - great spot, highly recommend.

    Excellent experience; food was delicious, portions were the perfect size & our waitperson was accommodating and helpful. A single criticism would be the absence of skim milk for coffee, but overall a great experience & we'll be back.

    The serving sizes were generous and the flavours were good. However, for the price of the food and drinks, I would not consider the service to be in alignment. The food service was fast, but the drink service was slow. We ordered a cocktail, and they added in additional ingredients. Even when questioned on why they added in additional ingredients, which weren't on the menu, they did not offer to remake the drink in line with what was listed as ingredients on the menu. It also took a while to be able to request a top up of wine. The overall experience was nice.
