    From the start, staff were fantastic as we changed the amount of people from 5 too 12 and it wasn't an issue for the Manager. We were welcomed and shown our seating, it was a very special Mother's day, first time able too get the family together for awhile as we all live in different parts of the state. Food was more than enough and reasonably good. All staff were polite and happy too help with anything requested. We all were very happy with this venue, Highly recommend! Thankyou all!

    What a beautiful evening at love letter for the steak and pasta night! I had a scallop to start which was just divine and super tasty. The pasta al la vodka I couldn’t resist, it was a great flavour and the pangrattato made it. For dessert- I had the rhubarb meringue and I’m still thinking about it. Cosy wine bar, good vibes and even better food, I will be back.
