   Not sure if it was because we went for lunch on a Sunday but honestly the place was dead. We booked for outside but Outside was a mess so they seated us inside no biggie but there just was no ambiance inside. The whole place was disorganised with tables and chairs everywhere and not setup, the tables were covered in this cheap plastic vinyl/contact paper where the edges have been missing due to being bumped, it was just very underwhelming and nothing at all like what their instagram portrays. Food was ok but nothing I’d write home about, we had the burrata, sashimi, sizzling chicken, lamb tacos and the rocket salad. Only thing I’d recommend is the sashimi, the rest you could skip

   This is not directed at the restaurant But only to Your app open table The app triple booked The restaurant and did not cancel us .we arrived starving ready to be seated only to be told there was 3 private functions on and all 6 of us were turned away We were celebrating 2 birthdays and were so excited to experience this restaurant ! They did ask if we wanted to be seated outside but with a full restaurant with 3 functions it was in everyone best interest not to stay as the restaurant was already pushed to its limits and at full capacity Very disappointed from open table not to cancel our booking as we drove 1 hour to get there , We ended up in a cafe all dressed up celebrating a birthday that did not feel very special

   Arrived for our booking, we were told they were closed for a private function (2 corporate Christmas events and 1 birthday party). I informed them I had booked a couple of weeks before. I was told that they no longer are affiliated with Open Table and was asked to see the booking which I showed them. The manager informed us he would speak with the owner, returned said they would find a table somewhere in a corner and offered us drinks which was nice. Our concern to stay was how quick we would be served throughout the evening with 3 large events. We chose to leave.

   The best outside area, and best date idea to go to the workers over there were very nice and gave the best hospitality

   the decor is a bit outdated. Long wait for the food but they’re ok, I can find better options for the price.

   Booked the restaurant and informed them no macadamia nuts as we have a sever allergy. The menu has an eggplant dish which does not say it has Macadamia nuts on it. Dish came out with some short of a nut and we looked at it carefully and I (no allergy person) ate it just in case and it was macadamia nuts!!! We could have had a sever reaction here. I went up to them and told them and they asked me ‘why I didn’t tell the staff when we ordered our food?!’ We did when we booked! It also requires disclosure on the menu by the restaurant! Staff was like ‘sorry’ and then that’s it. No manager came to us, no removal of item from our bill. It was a poor experience and we were shocked - this must be reported to the regulators!!! Horrible!

   Would be a really nice venue for a summers day however on the day we visited it was very windy and cold, so sat inside. Inside too was very cold and lacked warmth which made it quite uncomfortable. There was also an event outside and doors were left open regularly. Staff were a little awkward with menu change over. At 1150am one staff member told the table we could all order breakfast OR lunch but not from each menu. Didn't realise this would be so problematic. Some of us waited until 12 to order from dinner menu. Food is decent although serves are on the smaller side. Would give it a go again during more pleasant weather.

    Overrated. The place looks dead at daytime. Perhaps only good for wedding or big function. Menu is limited. Poor quality food.
