Great food as always. Loved the warm sourdough to start with tempura veges. The quail is always a stand out and the gold band snapper was moist with a crunchy skin . The potato side was crispy with a dressed salad to compliment the richness of the fish and quail. Great friendly service.

Great GF food and knowledge. Staff were great, although the manager could have helped with the drink service instead of sitting down to chat to a new employee. The young girl was flat chat making cocktails and serving drinks on her own with several tables full.

We went there to celebrate our friend's birthday around 7 pm. The staff were super nice and friendly. I'm a vegetarian, and they tried to fulfil my requirements as I wanted the rice bowl without salmon. The food was so good; we loved the tacos so much. The turmeric and coconut rice was the best! We will definitely come back!
