We went for a family dinner. Very friendly staff that made us feel welcome. The food was delicious, particularly the sticky date pudding at the end of the night!

One of the best restaurants my partner and I have been to. The customer service was amazing with very friendly staff, the atmosphere was ambient, the styling of the restaurant was rustic and beautiful and the food was made to perfection.
If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would.

Had a great breakfast with my wife. A big breakfast for me and an omelette for her. We both found it well above average and very good value. The venue is also well above average in atmosphere and service. In fact it is very unusual for the CBD to find such a gem . It consists of separate rooms one even has a fireplace and couches making it casual and homely. The paintings on the wall are impressive and for sale. It seems to have something for everyone.

Easily the best Italian restaurant we've been to in recent times, handily beats out most of Lygon St. I had the pasta marinara and soup of the day (pumpkin).
Pasta: just right mix between softness and bite, rarely does a restaurant put this much care into cooking their pasta to perfection. Fresh and flavourful sauce.
Soup: rich and creamy, flavourful but not dense. Perfect for a winter evening.
Would recommend a visit by anyone visiting Geelong.
My only concern is the bar may have been set too high and I have to suffer through mediocre restaurants in future.

Great space with wood fire in the winter and an alcove that can be sectioned off for groups. Good coffee but food fairly average.

Super generous serving sizes and lovely food. The avo on toast was delicious as was the Mediterranean beans. Staff were friendly too!

Food? Devine! Service? Absolutely great. First time and Geelong and what a first impression on the Geelong cuisine scene. Nice and cozy too, could easily spend hours enjoying just the atmosphere alone

Yum! Under new ownership, the food and service is fantastic. The wait staff are so friendly and helpful, particularly in offering suggestions from the very interesting wine list. If you haven't been for a while I would get in there and check it out.

Great little cafe! Ate there twice this week - one sitted meal with amazing meatballs pasta and one take away - amazing chicken and avo sandwich! They have a rocking chair by the fireplace, so cute!

I had the tortellini with prawns. It was excellent and so tasty. The crispy sage was full of flavor. Only problem is that I am a big eater and I would need 3 of those to fill me up. I would highly recommend it.
