    Restaurant was quiet on a Saturday night, however took staff a while to take our orders. No water at the table and had to collect it ourselves. The new menu was not as good as the previous one, with the dishes we ordered stripped back, with minimal presentation. Disappointing as it's our regular 'go to' when in the city for shows.

    Add some more feta to the sweet potato salad for those on Keto or Vegetarians as a protein source

    The staff are always friendly and prompt. The food is well presented and not stingy. We had avocado with pesto which was delicious though the bread was very difficult to cut into.

    Great venue just across the road from Flinders St Station, with inside and outside dining. A BIG benefit is that you can book a table in advance online, a very big benefit, because the restaurant is extremely busy at peak eating times. The service was first class and very friendly and professional. The extensive menu offers something for all tastes and budget.

    We attended last night and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The waitress dropped half of a pizza on to our table from the plate upon delivery, followed by an awkward pause. If that was the only issue it would be ok, accidents happen. Following this, I was given my sweet potato salad without the chicken I ordered. After advising another waiter of this, I was then given the right salad with the chicken, and was told the salad I received was meant for somebody else. I then assumed they were going to give this to the poor person who ordered it after it was sitting in front of me for 5 minutes. Following this, I noticed immediately that the chicken in my salad was extremely dry, but after the previous mishaps I wasn’t going to say anything further as we had a show to attend. I also don’t think $29 for a sweet potato without chicken is good value if all you’re getting is a mixed leaf salad with balsamic and a small cube of fetta on top with the sweet potato.
