we had the wagyu last night and it was the best steak I had eaten. the personal and the facility are authentic, casual, but very attentive. we enjoyed the unpredictable quality that underpins the philosophy of this restaurant. I would go back to newcastle to eat. here! View all feedback.

Exceeded my expectations in every way. Great service, food and amazing drinks selection - not just craft beer, but much, much more.

A recent dining experience at a restaurant on Darby Street left a lot to be desired for some patrons. One diner reported inedible food that caused food poisoning for his wife, a major disappointment. Another reviewer mentioned that while the location was fine, the prices were high and the dishes didn't quite hit the mark. A different group was let down when the restaurant ran out of a key dish, resulting in a bland meal. However, not all was lost, as some guests raved about the fantastic food and top-notch service they received, vowing to return. Overall, the restaurant seems to have a mixed reputation - some found it underwhelming and overpriced, while others had an exceptional experience and were eager to come back.
