Went here on a date. Great place. Very intimate atmosphere. The Tapas menu was great. Highly recommend the European picnic dish, loverly. We tried a couple of wines and they were a little disappointing. Will absolutely go back very cool place!

We had dinner for two last night at the cabinet. The balcony seats outside looked very attractive, unfortunately due to the heat, we decided to sit indoors. The interior was dark, candle-lit, cosy and very romantic! We decided to have something light- shared an antipasto plate. The dish consisted of a wide variety of tasty appetizers- smoked salmon, olives, pesto dip, marinated mushrooms and eggplant, with a generous serve of rocket and feta salad, and with pita bread on the side. Simple but impressively delicious! We had a great time, will be sure to come back again next time!

Very enjoyable dinner for two on the balcony overlooking Swanston Street. The food is designed to be shared, and the intimate atmosphere is therefore perfect. The service was great. The menu is very interesting, not for being "out there" but in the relatively simple combinations that are used to ultimately impress the taste buds. Lots of tempting items on the menu, which made choosing a pleasant "difficulty". We had the meatballs with fetta, which was good enough to stop us mid-conversation.

We also had two flat breads, the chilli prawns and the duck. Both were excellent combinations, making them very tasty, easy and enjoyable to eat, and very filling. The wine suggestion was perfect, and the after dinner coffee and drinks also so. We were surprised that 4 hours over dinner had passed so quickly and enjoyably, and only left because of an early start the next day.
