I had a great experience at this restaurant with its vibrant atmosphere and stylish decor. I highly suggest trying the brisket and scotch fillet, as they were delicious. The drinks were also impressive. However, I was disappointed with the mac and cheese and fried pickles, as they did not meet my expectations. The service was good and overall, I would rate the food a 3, service a 4, and atmosphere a 4. I recommend trying the slaw dish. The average cost per person for a lunch meal is between A$60–80.

I am not certain why this restaurant receives positive reviews. The food was average at best. I dined in for dinner and the price per person was between A$40-60. I would rate the food a 2, the service a 3, and the atmosphere a 2.
