    Fantastic lunch with a girlfriend. Attentive service, beautiful table setting, and delicious food. Amazing value $45 for 3 courses. My friend rated her risotto starter and salmon main course 5/5. I loved the burrata and heirloom tomato salad. My pork loin was slightly chewy but very tasty nonetheless. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

    I think I just found my new favourite bar. Extensive wine list with excellent selection by the glass, made even better by the staff’s knowledgable recommendations. Delicious “snacks”, a cosy and relaxed atmosphere, and a perfect playlist. Thanks for your hospitality, Ross. We’ll be back!

    Fab food and decent price. Don’t know why this place isn’t packed every night. Excellent friendly service too. Got an outdoor table so could watch neighbourhood in full flow which was fun. Will be back!
