    Not bad, though prices are a bit expensive for what you get.

    There was no service so extremely poor There is no way that the menu Wagyu beef was actually Wagyu - appearance was more like a thin piece of Scotch fillet I went to the bar with the order on my phone - I read from it & then showed the staff behind the counter. Yep alls good No Gluten free meals were available My Managing Director had to wait over an hour for his meal 1st bottle of wine brought to the table - 2nd bottle of wine told to wait at the bar for it as there was no table service Not 1 person out of the 5 dining will return any time soon When you are paying $80 a bottle of wine & between $35 & $65 per meal you expect some form of service Venue was nice & quiet as was a Monday night. Venue was also quite clean

    Beautiful venue, lovely service and great cocktails. The only downfall is the food.. I have never seen a chicken parmi for $30. Thinking for the price that it would be amazing, however it was soggy and average. The calamari was also not crispy, just soggy. It is a great venue for Darwin however I believe that the food can be so much better.

    Dont put your drink or bucket of ice down the wait staff will take it and you will need to line up and wait and wait and wait to get another bucket of ice. Staff was lovely at the bar and gave me another bucket of ice. We bought many bottles of $185 wine on the night after having a lovely meal together. LOVED the piano players. Brilliant atmosphere. Thankyou

    First time there last night. Booked a table online, wasn’t given a table number. Food was overpriced, and had a tiny serving, it tasted good though. Had to have a reservation but no table service, we didn’t know where to sit until we ask someone behind the bar. Not something we expected for a pub type of place, we’re seated below a big tv behind a piano. Too much happening in one place, I’m not sure whether it’s a pub, a restaurant or a night club.

    Amazing service. From the entry where we were welcomed, to table service where we didn’t want to sit on stools and they bent over backwards to find us table with no luck but the effort mattered the most! Then staff walked around to check on us if everything was ok! Amazing food and atmosphere! Recommended

    Pianos are great fun. I’ve been twice, great crowd singing along and dancing both times. The only downside is the food.
