AMAZING SERVICE & FOOD!!!! We visited for pre-theatre, our food was taking a while and then the staff came and informed us that their printer ran out of paper and didnt print our order. They were super transparent about the whole thing straight away and got our food to us as quickly as possible aswell as some discount for the delay. The way they handled it was very professional and we can't wait to come back as the food and value was so good.

Came here for a friend’s birthday dinner. I quite liked the ambience. It has a classy, old-school feel with a warm, homely and slightly rustic style. We ordered the grilled octopus, grilled ox tongue, whole roast flathead, porterhouse and broccolini. The food was good overall, with the grilled ox tongue and flathead being my favourites. The service was friendly and attentive, although I felt the service was a little rushed at times. A more relaxed pace would have been nice. Overall, a good dinner and an enjoyable evening out.

Absolutely phenomenal — every bite had depth, uniqueness and character. Ambiance and decor stunning. Service warm and irreverent; not stuffy or stiff. Can’t wait to go back.
