We've been a couple of times at lunch, once with the kids and once without. Both times we have left very happy. What a great little spot!

The kids were very happy with their food, especially the dessert which they demolished in a matter of minutes.

I think one of my favourites has got to be the salt and pepper tofu. We've had a variety of things off the menu and have been pleased with all of it. Wish we could get there more often!

We went to dinner here on a Friday night and I was disappointed. I ordered the salmon and it was accompanied by chat potatoes, most of which were not even cooked through. The cream sauce that was poured over the top was flavourless and in dire need of seasoning. It was not nice and I was starving and open to eating anything at that stage, it was not nice. I will not be returning.

We just went there for dinner and had a really nice dinner. I had the salmon, which was cooked the way I asked and had vegies with it which were lovely and flavoursome.

At the table we had the lamb, duck and pasta and all were fantastic. Followed up by the desserts, again, no complaints. I think my absolute favourite were the polenta chips, what a treat, we ordered two lots!

I would happily go back, it is a little pricey but if they continue to produce the food at that quality I will happily pay for it. The wait staff were friendly and accommodating, all round, a very good experience, would recommend.

I was a little apprehensive having read the reviews but being a local I really wanted to try it out. We went here tonight and I was pleasantly surprised. I do agree that the place is over priced but I really enjoyed my barramundi (@ $30), it was nicely done, I could just have done with more of it.

Others in the party had the salmon which they really enjoyed and it looked lovely. One of us ordered the flathead (@ $25) but was disappointed. I guess when you're paying that much for a main there shouldn't be chips on the plate with it. The service was very good, friendly and willing to oblidge.

I would go back, I just need to save up to do it!

We took the kids with us on a Thursday night without a booking but they accommodated us without a problem. The service was average, though friendly enough it was slow. They took 20 minutes to take our initial order of garlic bread and another 20 minutes to bring it out. The mains took just over an hour to come out.

The kid's meals are grossly over priced at over $20 for your choice of a kid's pasta (not specified), pizza or fish and chips. Yes, a drink and ice-cream is included but still hardly worth the asking price that goes with it.

Husband was very happy with his pepperoni pizza though. I thought my pasta was good too. Daughter enjoyed her tortellini as well (not a kids meal! and cheaper too!). Overall the experience was satisfactory. I'm not sure I would rush back but would give it another go at a pinch.

What a great spot for Lebanese food! I enjoyed the food and really authentic. The fatoush salad is to die for, I would go back just for that alone. The service was a bit iffy, I had lebanese speaking friends with me which helped greatly, I'm not sure how it would have been otherwise.

The bread to eat with the dips etc was delicious. We had the buffet style meal and I must say I did wish there was more hot food rather than it being dominated by cold dips and salad. But the food was lovely.

I really enjoyed my chicken avocado dish, it was lovely. Hubby had the king prawn special and found the serving small for the price tag attached. The food is quite nice but the serving can be small as we managed entrees, mains and a dessert, we can usually only manage two at most. Great for them but not so great for us and our wallet!

I agree with an earlier comment about the kids menu, we paid full price for the three kids meals which were kid sized but adult priced. The chips were home made, a plus and surprise. It did get loud when mostly full.

We found this little place to be authentically Portuguese. Its true to the cuisine but don't go if you're a vegetarian because all that is on offer is salad! It's more like a take-away place so its very casual dining in and out but the staff are very nice, friendly and helpful. I took the kids and I found them welcoming and pleasant. Great for a genuine taste of Portuguese home-style food.

I've been here a few times now and each time I have not been disappointed. I really like the pizzas and the speed in which they come out never ceases to amaze me! I like that I can take my kids and not worry that a long wait will send them and me insane. It does get noisy but it just adds to the whole experience.

We went for father's day lunch and everyone seemed reasonably happy with their food. I thought it was a little expensive. I had a barramundi dish and thought that the barra should have been cooked more (crispy skin), maybe that's just me.

Anyway, the service was really good and they accommodated us nicely as I told them I would have a pram and children with me and could they place me somewhere appropriate considering. They did and it meant I had a much better dining experience as a result.
