    It’s lovely to have a gastro pub style in the neighbourhood. Cosy ambiance upstairs with great renditions of favourites like Scotch fillet steak, fish and chips, ragu pasta and fried calamari. Friendly service and place was busy and booked on a Saturday night. We will definitely be back!

    An impressive and reiable local restaurant .Attention to detail and creativity must be noted.We have dined here several times in the last 4 months or so and each occasion was memorable .The food choices are all excellent and the interesting ombinations of flavours really work Essentially Italian but unafraid to incorportare small Asian flavours ...say miso here ...or sesame there ...the ultimate result is delicious . Wine choices are excellent with good advice given on pairings with ones choice of food This in intimate small space with attentive service and a quiet ambience.Great cocktails as well ! It is definitely a Bayside treasure proving you can eat locally and have a lovely experience without going closer to the city

    great space for lunch on the outside of Chaddy shopping centre, easy parking across the road. Great friendly staff and really nice ambiance to the restaurant. Food was amazing and different, maybe just a few favorites could be added, but it was a lovely lunch time spent, thanks to all the staff who even thru the Chaddy blackout kept us well informed and smiling throughout.
