The greeting we got was stiff but polite. We were shown to our table and menus handed out. We were checked on for drinks and later to order food. Courteous and efficeint. Food came after a bit of a wait, but was worth the wait. Pizza, Bruschetta and Chips. All really tasty and decent servings. We didn't get drinks but still cost us more than $70. A bit pricey for me but I might still be expecting 1985 prices! Ambiance was ok although tables felt very close together to the point that I could have eaten off the plate of the table next to us. Staff were polite and efficient albeit a little disconnected but Sunday afternoon I guess it had been a long day.

Not our first visit. The food is fine, but nothing outstanding. Hot drinks are NOT hot, they are just above warm so ask for extra hot. Food wasnt overly hot either. Its a nice place, its convenient, fairly quick, well placed but nothing to rave about either.

With so much on in the city, Time Out was busy. Despite this we still received prompt, courteous and friendly service. Even those in our group who arrived late due to heavy traffic were served quickly, allowing time for them to still enjoy their meal before it was time to move on. Thank you.

We had the fish and chips, which was delicious and not greasy. The steak was cooked a perfect medium and was so yummy. The palma was good, but just a palma. Overall we were thrilled with our meal and will be back!
