Our party of four dined for dinner on a weeknight. For a starter we ordered the garlic and cheese pizza which was tasteless. Avoid! Spirits were ordered for drinks and they tasted very weak.

We ordered 2 of the burgers, nice nothing special. Also ordered an eye fillet and a scotch fillet steak, again nothing special and came with mash and 'seasonal vegies' which was only snow peas.

The waitress was very annoying messing around with the cutlery and, my pet hate, took away everyone elses plates whilst I was still eating. Found out about the place in the Entertainment Book, would not return.

I've eaten here on several occasions and always been really impressed with the food. It can sometimes be a little noisy downstairs, but haven't had the same problem up stairs. Their tapas menu is great and have enjoyed all I've tried. Particularly good selection for vegetarians. Not what you expect to find in this location. Definitely recommended.

Went for dinner, was busy but was attended to with silver service quality. Liked how they went over and beyond to make a special dessert for us. Lovely place, will recommend it to others.

Only down fall was access to toilets. They were blocked with a big table full of dinners and I had to say excuse me and they had to move out of the way so I could go to toilet. I felt rude and hoped I didn't have to go to the toilet again. Quick resolution would be to re-orrange the table settings. Thanks Kristy.

Yum. Food beautiful. Staff really really friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We go all the time at any time and feel welcome. Same people each week so must have heaps of regulars. Signed up for VIP membership. Can be noisy when full [which seems to be often], but we don't mind that, adds to the ambience. Can request where you want to sit, so no real issue. Try Peking duck spring rolls, vegetarian pizza, gummy shark, and the best salt and pepper squid I've ever had!

We were a bit slow ordering as we hadn't been before and it is quite a large menu but the staff were patient and explained dishes which was appreciated. Settled on sharing a seafood pizza- wonderful blend of flavour with a light-as-air crust and also the burger which was very flavoursome without being heavy. Finished with the bread and butter pudding - superb! (don't try to eat one of these on your own, even between the two of us and despite being very willing we still could only get through two thirds of it!)
The only thing I would say is choose carefully where you sit as some spots seem to get a lot of noise bouncing back to them.

The atmosphere at this place is fantastic, and agree it is a little bit of City in the outer suburbs. Very attentive and cheerful staff and the place was pumpin on a Saturday night. Our only criticism was that the quality of the dishes varied quite dramatically from a rating of 5 up to 9. I thoroughly enjoyed my vegetarian pasta, and my friend loved her lamb. The let down was with the rice in the risotto and the paella. Otherwise, thumbs up and would go again!

OMG!!!! what a great little hidden treasure.

My girlfriend and I stumbled across this little restaurant by accident a couple of months ago, and we were very impressed. It was a spur of the moment decision for us and we arrived without a reservation on a very busy saturday night, there were no tables available at this time, however, the man at the door did ask us if we would like to take a seat at the bar and have a drink because there will be a table available in about 20 minutes.

Within 10 minutes of waiting were seated. Now there is a couple of things I must compliment on, first, when we were seated at the table the man pulled our chairs out for us, I have not seen this done for many years. Second, after being seated we were advised us that there is a very large group upstairs that is about to order and if we like, we have the option to order straight away so that we may avoid any delays in getting our meals.

Third, the guy also pointed out by Name that "carly" will be our waiter for the evening. altho I did find the man at the door to be a bit "camp/snobbish" for this style of establishment, however, his professionalism was very noticeable. 20 minutes into our dinner and my girlfriend and I were extremely impressed at the service. Carly was an absolute gem, very bright very bubbly and Very attentive!!!!!!

Now the meals were fantastic, I had the salami oysters as the entree, which were very different but very tasty, I had the saltimbocca chicken as my main, which again was a taste sensation and I finished off with the bread and butter pudding, which I have to say is the Best I have ever had. My girlfriend started off with the potato bread, which I had a piece of, and the mix of flavours were perfect. She had as her main the salmon, which was a little overcooked, but she said it still tasted good, and she didn't have dessert as she was too full by this time.

But I did have to fight her off my pudding once she had a taste of it. Overall this was a very refreshing experience to find such a place to eat at, the only thing we can really find fault with is that it does get a little noisy but as with most places you get that when there are alot of people there.
