Seen this place while in the city many times and went in for just coffee until my work mate wanted to share some afternoon snacks. Ordered the Beef Carpaccio and it was melt in your mouth, a sprinkle of rocket lettuce and parmesan cheese. Pizza garlic bread was well cooked dough thin and crispy yum! Service was friendly and attentive.

Visiting some friends in the area and they told me they dine here frequently so joined them for a mid week lunch.

Overpriced and salty food, but as I wasn't paying I didn't want to make them feel bad by not eating the pork belly lunch box set $13. Never had pork belly cooked this way, long stringy bits of pork, poached in salty water, served in a box with steamed rice, with a side of salad. I must admit the miso soup was nice. The edamame wasn't fresh, slightly brown and over seasoned with salt.
On the upside service is friendly. Won't be going back.

Was in the mood for some Italian during our Xmas shopping so came in here with my wife for some pizza and pasta. Big mistake!

The garlic bread was stale and hard, burnt on 1 side and undercooked on the other. Our salad was full of dull and lifeless lettuce, tomatoes that had seen better days and thick chunks of onion topped with dressing. It doesn't get much better as my wife tried to eat her lasagne $20 which was mostly bland doughy pasta sheets stacked on top of each other with a tea spoon of red sauce between them that contained hardly any meat with no creamy bechamel that a lasagne should have.

My pizza was just ok, at $25 I expected alot more. Poor presentation, ingredients looked mounted on 1 side while the other was just sauce and cheese and the only good thing about the pizza that it was filling and at least edible.
Service by staff who couldn't care less if we ate our meal or not let alone enjoyed it.

After our table was cleared the bill was brought to our table by a grumpy looking man that stood there until I placed my credit card in the folder. Never going back.
