We were traveling from Melbourne with my mum, who doesn’t speak English, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We ordered the risotto, which was extremely oily. While we initially found it overwhelming, we later learned the dish is meant to be that way. The team was incredibly kind and accommodating, offering to swap the dish for us without hesitation. Unfortunately, despite the wonderful food and service, our experience was overshadowed by a drunk and disruptive person seated next to us. While we understand the restaurant has a lively atmosphere, this individual was clearly intoxicated, making it impossible to enjoy our meal fully. We had even considered staying for dessert, but the situation made it unbearable. It’s a shame that such a great experience was marred by one inconsiderate guest.

The service was excellent from start to finish attentive but not intrusive. The atmosphere is OK (other restaurants have more character) but I'd still make this place a priority if they worked out of a food truck.

Tonight though, on a busy Valentine’s Day set menu service it wasn’t as good as it has been. Meals were missed, and then to be stung $15 for a bottle of water was crazy, especially when we both didn’t have any of the included alcohol that was on the menu. Will we be back, of course, but we won’t be ordering a bottle of water! Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
