    Did a holiday tea with the girls and it was beautiful! Tea and food were delicious- my 8 yr old niece who said she did not like cucumber sandwiches ate almost all of them and asked for more! We loved it and will be back, thanks Babes!

    Amazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.

    We were 2 and sat at a table in a little alcove. Perfect. My son has to eat GF food and they have a fabulous paper menu showing exactly what it GF. He was so pleased! Service was excellent. We have great cocktails and I had a good red wine. We had the Empress Noodles (lots of veggies and we added chicken, a whole meal) Prawn skewers, super good and tasty dipping sauce. I had the pork bao buns..because Bao. All was good. Came quickly. Music is ED and is slightly loud if you are trying to talk. love the location, close to DCPA and Ball arena.
