    Cool vibes inside. The booth seats are a bit too high for the tables so it’s a little awkward to sit at. Steak was perfectly cooked, although the mushroom sauce was not really a sauce but just some mushrooms on top. The side of chips were yum but could do with more salt (none provided on the table). The chimichurri side sauce also lacked flavour. Kingfish was fresh and perfect for a hot day. Cavolo nero spaghetti was the highlight!

    The waitress who served us absolutely made our experience. I’m not sure if her name but I think she was French. She was kind, friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and it was great value to get in with the happy hour cocktails! Opting for the courtyard out front isn’t something I usually do but considering it had been a 30 degree day, it was a balmy night so it was lovely. Overall, great experience!
