This has got to be my favourite restaurant by far. Hands down without a second thought. I've been there for breakfast, lunch and dinner and will go back again! The food is delicious, creative and innovative. Their specials are always great too. They are BYO so you can save on the price there.

The people who work there are just lovely, they smile at you and actually seem to care about the place and it's patrons. I truly think this is one of the best restaurants in Sydney and that's why I've nominated it for the good food awards on the lifestyle website.

It's a hidden little gem and I'm so glad I live around the corner from it. With a delightful exterior and small but cosy interior, it is well worth the trip. You'll love the food!

My boyfriend and I loved this place. It reminds me of a very "Melbourne" restaurant, tucked away in the middle of nowhere and oozing with charm and character. The food is divine and the service is good too!

I still remember my experience at the restaurant although it was months ago because the food was memorable.

We had the sherry cured salmon, spaghettini with blue swimmer crab and Duck Confit. All 3 were delicious especially the cured salmon! It was so refreshing together with the wanton skin. The highlight for me though was the panna cotta. I keep telling my partner that we have to go back there for the dessert!

The service we received was good. They were friendly and attentive. Only thing I would wish is for the ambience/decor to be nicer. Even so I would still return.

Despite being in an unusual location this is a great little place with fantastic service. They seem to be using fresh ingredients too. We had BYO which meant that it wasn't pricey.

Absolutely first class. Our expectations were high, given the reviews here, and we were not disappointed. Fills a terrifc spot in the market of almost one hat quality matched with good prices for that quality, relaxed but very good service. This will become a regular for us.

I had my 30th here in the private dining room in January 2010. It was a great night. All my friends raved about it. Food was top notch (limited choice from the set menu) and the staff were so helpful. We even BYOed booze for everyone! Thanks Justin.

I had been meaning to try this place for ages and finally got around to it the other week. I can't believe I waited so long, the food was absolutely amazing and the service was polite and unobtrusive. I will definitely be returning for another visit!

Boring breakfast and average coffee, could have made better ourselves at home. And will next time.

 

Response from Management:

Dear al&dave,

After reading your reviews it is clear you are having heaps of trouble finding a place to dine that meets your requirements, definitely sounds like you should stay at home and keep yourselves away from harm...its a jungle out there boys, be safe and keep it real.

ps, maybe you could open your OWN bussiness!!!!

We were there saturday and what an evening my wife and two Kiwi friends had, we were made to feel at home by a young and extremely knowledgeable waitress. The food was different than the usual run of the mill stuff, from the chefs little hor duerve through to the scrumptious desserts and coffee. Plus the real bonus of BYO which is the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work it was a pleasure.
