   Lovely mood and setting. Wish I'd picked outside however with the weather lately it felt risky. Sun set and water views still seen from every table inside. The food was delicious only disappointment was the ravioli which was sold out; I'll just have to go back to try it and eat earlier!

   Overall pretty good. Definitely some nitpicking with the food that could be better but I'm still impressed with the spaghetti and pistachio dessert.

   Everything was lovely as usual (we've been there quite often) just the aircon was a bit on the too-chilled side. Food came out quickly and was delicious as always. Love that all the cocktails can be mocktails too!

   A lovely lunch on New Year Eve. A table outside overlooking the river (we were early enough that we'd finished by the time the sun came round and was shining on that side; it would have been uncomfortable then). The staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful, despite being very busy indeed. We had the avo and the chilli hopper and both were excellent and very generous serves; the hopper might be a bit hot for those who don't like their chilli, but I loved it. A nice white wine with that and we were very happy indeed. Great value too

   pasta was very solid and i have no complaints, though i wouldnt say it was impressive. The cocktails were unique and i was really happy with the apple pie whiskey drink. Service felt a bit awkward, our server was kinda quiet and just did her job so it wasnt bad but im generally more used to a friendlier service. went on a christmas jazz night and i personally feel like the restaurant missed the point of what a jazz band is supposed to add to a restaurant. the band was really loud and people were talking even louder to hear eachother and it just got to the point of it being unpleasant and difficult to converse with someone right next to you. can only imagine what it was like for people right in front of the band.

   Very disappointed with this new.menu. only pasta overwhelmed with cheese. You really need more variety in food choices particularly to meet the taste of your local residents.

   I really loved the Black pasta. 10/10. The flavours are so unique yet balanced.

    Dining here was amazing!! So once to have local jazz and delicious food offered locally. It is usually something I travel into the city CBD for but look no further! The staff were so proactive in helping and serving, not the mention the food was delicious. I really hope they keep the Sunday night jazz and cocktail deal as it was definitely a seller for making me a repeat customer.
