Was good, not the best in Lygon St, had to wait ages for our orders to be taken and food to arrive. However, the squid ring spag was great and the squid wasn't served rubbery, so that was a big plus.
Absolutely terrible. Disgusting. We went with a large group of people for a very special occasion - the imminent wedding of a close family member. First it started with one of our group bringing BYO wine and beer. Not friendly, "sorry, we're licenced" but a short, sharp "Your table won't be getting any bruschetta if you open that".
Next, we were left waiting for about two hours for our meal. When our meal finally did arrive, three of our group were not given anything. Those three meals arrived when everyone else had finished.
Finally, the staff appeared totally dismissive of any wrong doing, were happy to be argumentative, and demanded the entire bill including the three meals that were served when others had finished.
Add to that a kitsch, dirty environment (air conditioners with sticky tape all over them, kitsch murals, etc) and it made for extreme disappointment on what should have been a very special occasion. Shame, shame, shame.
