For the money the best restaurant in Brisbane. Exceptional food, friendly and professional staff, nice wine list. Goat ragu is a highlight, as are the desserts. No bookings policy the only downside but if you time your visit this is no problem.

The back garden is a nice place for lunch. Frappe was excellent, as were the collection of tapas-style dishes. Haven't yet had a main meal but I would be keen to return and try in the evening.

Food isn't bad but service is terrible. Maybe it used to be better?

The entree plates are always tasty and good value. Mains are large but not as carefully prepared. Lovely desserts. Service can be a bit haphazard, a good place to go for a group dinner.

Not sure why this place is so popular, overpriced and over-rated like most of Oxford Street.

Have had take away a couple of times, the first time was much nicer than the second. Pesto was a highlight. Always seems to be packed, a cute little neighbourhood restaurant. Good gelati selection.

Food is great, service is pretty average though. The porcini pizza (specials) is great when they actually use real porcinis, on other occasions it has just been fortified with truffle oil. No charge for "cakeage" and they happily plated it all.
