Not great. Looks beautiful on the outside, and the personnel warm and friendly, but the quality of the facial was quite poor and just didn't feel so good, or relaxing at all. In a one hour facial I was left in the room on my own for 25 minutes with a mask on, and after the treatment something of a hard sell with extremely expensive products. There is much better to be had in the area. Sorry.

Have been here twice in the last two weeks, a group farewell function, and an early after work dinner with a friend. Well priced, above average Italian food with huge portions. The gnocchi is truly excellent, melt in the mouth. Friends said the home-made lasagna is a winner too. Only thing is they use a bit too much cream on some of the dishes. For value, quick and friendly service in a relaxed ennvironment, would recommend. Its not haute cuisine, but neither does it pretend to be.

Quite a nice meal here last Saturday night. Generous portions, nice, fresh, simple family-friendly food. Service was excellent and all the waitstaff smiled. Would recommend. A little noisy so, perhaps, not right for a romantic dinner out, perfect for a group celebration.

The food was lovely - simple, beautifully cooked. The waitstaff easygoing, friendly and warm. Great ambience, and thoughtfully chosen wine list. Have been here in winter, and actually prefer their winter menu, the feeling of the room too lends itself to autumn/winter, but had a great meal all up.

Great value little restaurant with terrific service. The shared platters of appetisers for the table were wonderful, however, the mains and desserts had a consistent theme of dryness, which was unfortunate, as all the food was really packed with great flavour. The lack of moisture in the meals was just a bit of a disappointment. It has a fun ambience and the waitstaff really do deserve to be commended for their smiling, efficient and warm manner of making you feel really at home.

A very busy Saturday brush service found us quickly seated at the only remaining table in the sunny courtyard. Our food came within 15 minutes of ordering. My friends squid caesar salad was deemed fantastic, and my scrambled eggs with mint and feta velvety smooth (apart from the fact they used basil leaves instead which was a bit of a disappointment as I was looking forward to trying mint with eggs). Coffee just ok. A pleasant enough experience and we'll be back.

My new favourite restaurant. Exquisite food, sincere unaffected service, charming and quietly buzzy atmosphere. Every mouthful a divine experience, capped off by the most unbelievably delicious apple tart tartin around and a smiling farewell at the door when we left. It's a pleasure to dine somewhere the waitstaff seem genuinely happy. Eat here - don't delay!

The food is horrible. Terrible. The Chile con carne (spicy) tasted just like bolognese sauce and the burrito and carne were stone cold. I couldn't finish even a third of it. However, the waitress was lovely, as was the ambience. We didn't drink anything that night but maybe a few margaritas before dinner might soften the blow.

OK, I'm usually pretty understanding and not that hard to please, but I had a really bad breakfast here. It came to the table burnt to a cinder. Black corn fritters tasting of coal, charred bacon I nearly broke my teeth on, salsa that tasted like it came out of those jars in the Mexican section of Coles carrying an odd vinegar taste that permeated the whole dish and a poached egg with a yolk as hard as wood.

The fresh avocado slice the only redeeming feature. I was astonished they even brought it out to the table. And it wasn't a particularly busy morning. The coffee was OK. Very sweet waitress and a tempting array of wonderfu l- smelling muffins etc. on the counter, but sadly couldn't make up for what was an inedible breakfast, and we won't be returning when there is so much more to choose from in the area.
