    Always a great meal here and the cocktails are lovely. Once we ordered, the meals came quickly and we were finished and out the door to our concert in no time. I keep thinking I'll try the desserts in the cabinet one day, but never seem to have room!

    Restaurant was quiet on a Saturday night, however took staff a while to take our orders. No water at the table and had to collect it ourselves. The new menu was not as good as the previous one, with the dishes we ordered stripped back, with minimal presentation. Disappointing as it's our regular 'go to' when in the city for shows.

    Add some more feta to the sweet potato salad for those on Keto or Vegetarians as a protein source

    The staff are always friendly and prompt. The food is well presented and not stingy. We had avocado with pesto which was delicious though the bread was very difficult to cut into.

    Great venue just across the road from Flinders St Station, with inside and outside dining. A BIG benefit is that you can book a table in advance online, a very big benefit, because the restaurant is extremely busy at peak eating times. The service was first class and very friendly and professional. The extensive menu offers something for all tastes and budget.
