Returning patrons, celebrating daughter’s 18th with grandparents. We all love Rococo and once again we weren’t disappointed. The cuisine was exquisite and were especially appreciative of the vegan menu. My daughter enjoyed her cocktail and the drinks list is fantastic. The staff were attentive and fun. Great night out.

Very friendly and helpful team of staff. The food and drinks were good value. The scones delicious and I was even offered to take my uneaten scone home and provided with little tubs of cream and jam :) We had a window table at the back looking on to a beautiful gallery of cockatoos in the trees. Overall very nice. Parking if any mobility issues is challenging (but that’s consistent with a lot of parking in this area)
