Cocktails were really good. However, the food and costumer service could've been heaps better.

Kind of a nice fancy English boozer with good little books and seating areas. Good outdoor area - bookings essential. Chicken parmigiana is a good recco, but needs extra sauce. I'd go there again.

I was there yesterday for bottomless brunch and I could not recommend this place enough. The staff were lovely, always super smiley and friendly. The cocktails were very good and unlike a lot of bottomless brunch places I've been to, the staff don't wait for you to finish your drink before ordering a new one. Great atmosphere too and the smashed avo was delicious. I will definitely be back, thank you!!

Tasty dinner had here. Staff were friendly and professional and service was quick. Only one complaint - the mobile ordering system is too impersonal. Our first dinner out after lockdown and we were hoping for someone to present a menu, take our order etc. Instead you have a family crowding around a phone, which means it takes twice as long. Hopefully this is a pandemic thing only

Genuinely wouldn’t recommend booking here unless it’s a walk in and you can pay when you get there. I booked for 13 guest for bottomless brunch and because i’d be travelling to Melbourne i emailed in advance asking if it’d be fine to cancel if need be due to covid, they said that was fine. Melbourne went into another lock down so i cancelled my… booking on July 19th. i had to then email them again on august the 17th and they tried to tell me my $845 payment was still pending. i then sent them the proof of the money coming out of my account and THEIR email saying

Went for a bottomless brunch and was extremely disappointed. The meals were poor especially if you are vegan which 2 of the guests were. And the regular meals without dietry requirements were the same.
Cocktails are served in tumblers? We were drinking espresso martini’s from a tumbler.
The restaurant looks better toward the back but for some reason this space was not occupied.
We were at the front and the ambience is dingy. I have been to other bottomless brunches and never had any issues but I do feel that this experience has called for feedback to be provided.
Do not recommend for bottomless

Unfortunately a bit of a let down.
Although I booked a reservation for 5 people we were seated on one of the high tables near the bar. The table which was probably more suitable for 3 people left my friends and I feeling quite cramped.
Given our proximity to the bar the music was overwhelmingly loud so we were all struggling to have a conversation with each other.
We asked for water twice but we never received it.
Food was average - my chips were fried in old oil and the tacos were pretty subpar.

Worst customer service skills from the Manager that was working Sunday November 15th in the evening. Her behaviour was appalling. She was definitely on a power trip and needs to calm down.

A fun spot to catch up for a drink, and judging by the number of people ordering a meal here, the food is something worth checking out. Cocktails are tasty, and the extensive drink list will make sure everyone is catered for.

One of my new favorites on Chapel Street! The steak is always amazing, big and juicy, with lots of sauce which was also amazing, you know sometimes those gravy are boring but this was yummy tasty mushroom sauce! The macncheese burger was so big that for the first time a ate a burger with a fork! Very good service at all times, great tunes, great vibes and great variety of comfy chairs and tables. To make it even better: free wifi if you blown your monthly wifi quota already ;) Plus they make coffee for all coffeeholics out there! On top of a great things about this place, there are also great daily
