My fiancé and I had planned our wedding on the 5th, however had to post pone. So we thought we would treat ourselves and pretend we were on a mini honeymoon. Sounds cheesy but for the time we spent at the restaurant it felt like we were celebrating something really special.
Staff went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after and had an amazing experience. I particularly liked the atmosphere and vibe, felt like I was in the heart of the CBD. Food was yummy and presented so well. I would recommend the pork belly and polenta chips.
Parking was easy and location so close to home.

Awesome place to met up without having to go all the way to the CBD!
Pizzas and gnocchi is beautiful and expresso martinis complete the dining experience! Finished lunch and head over to the bar for some more delicious cocktails! Bar staff are friendly too which added to the already buzzing atmosphere of the bar.

Not a great place to eat, food was over priced for what you get the staff were horrible. I was part of a big group and we called ahead and asked for our tables to be close each other on the night and we were told yes, the restaurant can do that. When we arrived our tables were on opposite ends of the restaurant and we were told by staff on the night that it was just too hard to configure two tables next to each other of 10 people each, what the? Here is the icing on the cake, one of our tables of 10 had a table of 12 empty in front of them for the whole night! No one came and sat at that table
