Dining here was amazing!! So once to have local jazz and delicious food offered locally. It is usually something I travel into the city CBD for but look no further! The staff were so proactive in helping and serving, not the mention the food was delicious. I really hope they keep the Sunday night jazz and cocktail deal as it was definitely a seller for making me a repeat customer.
