This is a pizza place. Great woodfired pizzas. Great for a work time lunch. For a workplace setting, the place is perfect. You can't go wrong with their pizzas. Crispy base, not too oily, great flavours.

My mum even visited once and she tried the risotta which was perfectly tasty. Costly cos it is a pizza place but if you love risotto, you won't be disappointed.

If you're going to raise the price of all your dishes by about $2, then at least go through the trouble of reprinting the menus so customers don't see this random permanent marker over the menus. We can see the previous price and yes it does leave a sour taste in the mouth.

It makes great DIY vermicelli rolls. Good location, just tell people to meet at commonwealth bank. Easy. But it has ridiculous prices driven up by their earlier popularity. Ridiculous prices should mean nicer restaurant, nope, place looks the same as when it opened except now it is old and worn and the menus are covered in sticky tape and permanent marker.

I love this cafe. I went here on Saturday and had an affogato. Great service and good location. Just a lovely setting in the park. Also ended up going for their dinner set menu. The entree of fried pork was really nice, lovely. The main of chicken was nicely grilled but not really fancy. It had crispy peas. Ordinary looks.
Dessert was absolutely fantastic! Praline made there and delicious with other tidbits. All in all, enjoyable evening in a location away from any other shops. So great for a quiet evening out.

I had a group booking. Last minute table arrangements due to extra guests. No problem. Good pastas and bruschetta. Simple chicken and veal mains as part of the set menu but still a great night. 3.50 per person for BYO. Great venue that caters well for groups.

I love this place. It does get quite busy but I've never had to wait long. Or I didn't care that I was waiting because I had a coffee and I was with my fiancee. Anyway, the toasties are always a winner. Avocado and ricotta. Mmmm! Serves good coffee.
Its got a great devoted fan base from the area because they serve great breakfasts all day and make good coffee. Its a neat place with nice styling. Except for that random comfy chair in the toilet, no idea why its there... I think they sell Campos coffee.

Skeptical at first because of the spreets. Value not there (Spreets fault, not theirs), I paid $15 and I got about $24 worth of stuff. Drinks were $5 each for Affogato and ice coffee. Desserts were about $7 each. Honestly, gotta stop buying Spreets.
But, worth a return visit. They made a great Affogato so I imagine their normal cappuccinos must be good. They have some fair lunch specials. Though I'll return for coffee and desserts. Lovely presentation, that's half the battle won for a dessert. Creme brulee had a nice surface that cracked with the hit of the spoon and their triple chocolate mouse lived up to its name of triple choc.

Came here a second time. First time was good enough for me to return but second time was an absolute terrible Thai food experience. Had Massaman been, Thai beef salad and Chicken Pad See Ew. All the thai classics on a Saturday early night.

Only thing that seemed fresh was the money bags for entree. The beef was chewy. The thai beef was dry. The pad see ew was warm, not hot. I did not expect such poor quality in the food coming from such a nice restaurant. Lazy cooking, I should have just gone Vietnamese or a better thai place in the next suburb.

What a surprise. A Asian japanese place that makes really good woodfired pizzas. I agree with the person who said the Bulgogi pizzas are to die for even if it has broccoli on it. The chicken and avocado pizza was very good too. Thin bases, pizzas weren't dripping in oil from too much cheese like I have seen other places. The service was friendly, a little bit unsure but they are honest and kind.

I really enjoyed this small place, it has a quirky atmosphere with all this japanese writing along the walls and padded benches. Their ice green tea latte was pretty superb too. Oh and their garlic bread! Best garlic bread I have ever had! Not drenched in garlic and good bread choice.

I love the surroundings of this place. The old buildings and walls. The outdoor seating was lovely on a Saturday morning. The waiter was very friendly and welcoming.

It is a different setting to all the other cafes of city street surroundings.
They had a lovely and interesting ranges of breakfasts. I had some french toast with maple syrup and berries while my friend had some poached eggs on ciabatta.
Breakfasts are reasonably priced averaging around 15 each dish.

Its a worthwhile sushi place. Plum wine was wonderful, its like a dessert wine. They do the standard sushis well and their service is welcoming. If you're in for cheap eats then probably go to Sushi on Stanleys down the road but this place makes for a nicer intimate setting.
