    It was really disappointing getting a phone call on the day before to tell me the place was being renovated and it was closed for the 20th. I jad to find somewhere else to celebrate my birthday, really shame

    Menu was not as advertised on restaurant's website, would not have gone if we had seen the menu in advance. For a sharing, Asian food type meal Yamamori Izakaya on George's St is by far a better option. Would still rate as good, just better options available.

    The food was gorgeous. The waiter was rude. I'd go back only for that reason. He showed no interest in serving our table. When he called out the dishes he turned his head away and looked out the window so we couldn't even hear him calling them out. There was four at the table and as soon as one person was finished he collected their plate, rather than waiting for everyone to finish. I would have understood if the restaurant was busy but it was empty inside, only one other table was being used. Would I recommend it to a friend, yes if they did takeaway food!

    I found the meeting house atmosphere to be lively, however the food didn't match up. It was quite bland lacking in flavour, the tempura prawns were the best thing we ordered but the others were bland and tasteless. We found ourselves eating the food purely out of not wanting to waste it. Due to it being a special occasion I wished the food would've been better! Good atmosphere yet bland food.

    A warm, welcoming venue with good staff, good value and very tasty food. The live music on the terrace was excellent whilst the music inside was good there were a couple of times it veered into the screechy!

    Restaurant is designed more for a night out rather than a pleasant eating experience. Service was good and food was nicely flavoured. Good selection on menu and great choice for vegetarians. However it is recommended that you have at least 3 dishes and portion sizes reflect that but prices don't. Food doesn't merit the cost they are charging for it and 3 dishes would set you back 28 euro minimum.
