The restaurant was set up really nice for Valentines Night meal and the staff were excellent. Meals were very nice, chicken was a little dry and tough unfortunately. The gift at the end of the meal was a lovely touch we could enjoy once we got home.

Solid without being spectacular. Great location near the WEC and its big step up from The Steelers without a big step up in price. Hawks Game Day so it was noisy but buzzing. Food was good, well cooked and served quickly. They need more bar staff however, as just 2 doesn't cut it. Happy to go back and give it another shot

The service and food were excellent. There is nothing I could say that wasn't perfect, which is very rare. The tables were at a good distance from each other so it was possible to have a conversation without the need to raise your voice. I do hope they have Christmas lunch again next year, I will definitely be there.

Tara and crew were excellent looking after us. Excellent service. Food was very good. We did find the octopus a bit on the salty side but everything else was very good.

Food was fantastic, steak was cooked as ordered and tasted great. My only negative was the chill when the door to the outside dining area was opened.
