    We all very much enjoyed our meals (mushroom risotto for two of us, a chicken parma and a pizza). There was good space between tables and the noise level was acceptable. That is, we could hear each other speak, despite the fact that all tables were occupied. Coffees were excellent. We went there for lunch and stayed for around four hours. We also allowed to pay separately for our meals– a big plus for us. Staff were very friendly and relaxed.

    Great location. Food is pub- standard and good quality. Service is excellent. We go for a meal before evening sessions at the NGV and appreciate the fast service.

    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.
