Our server was simply wonderful. Friendly, energetic, polite, and very attentive. We had Marguerita pizza - mmmmm, grilled calamari -excellent, pasta carbonara mmmm and a burger. I’d told it was a 3/5 ?? All in all this place is highly recommended.

Our Chef has over 20 years of experience in the culinary industry in the most prestigious establishments in the world, and knowledge of several cuisines bringing you a world fusion experience.

The food was great. Liked the wholistic touch to the menu. The restaurant was not busy and we had to get up a few times to get the attention of our server. There was a lot of chitchatting going on amongst servers and kitchen staff.

We were a group of six ladies and one baby for afternoon tea. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived. Shortly after being seated and placing our orders, we were asked to move to another table to accommodate a larger group. The service was a bit slow as the staff seemed occupied with preparing for the incoming group. Food was delicious and would return.
