The view of the buildings and the Yarra River is beautiful, and the atmosphere is wonderful, accompanied by great music. I really loved the vibe here. The food was impressive; I was pleasantly surprised to find a complete meal for just $24. Kudos to the staff for a job well done!

We tried the paella and pork belly, both of which were delicious. While the portion sizes are a bit small considering the prices, it's completely understandable. They also offer an excellent selection of wine and cocktails.

We hadn’t booked and it was Mother’s Day yet the Manager, Rhys, managed to find us 6 seats. We were treated to a free glass of bubbly and we ended up staying for nearly 4 hours! Music was infectious 80’s and the food was lovely, prompt, and hot and all the staff were super polite and helpful. We’ll definitely be back!

The reason given was ‘because we don’t have the staff ‘ . There appeared to be two waitstaff, but seemingly, the person who serves outside, can’t possibly serve inside (a matter of about two and a half metres away . There were about half a dozen other customers outside, all had already been served, so not much for waitstaff to do except carry a couple of plates a few steps further . We went elsewhere , and cancelled a group booking we’d made earlier, for a few days hence . They also lost 4 other customers who saw what happened . So all up , they’ve lost more business there . They said this outside inside business was ‘policy’ . All we wanted was a spot of lunch . They clearly don’t want the elderly or disabled in there .

In justifying themselves they did not seem to realise the difference between “can’t” and “won’t”. They were not that busy (the waitress was actually dancing by herself to the...music that was playing, so she wasn’t exactly flat out), yet they cited lack of staffing for forbidding us from an inside table.

No one in our group of 9 left the table unsatisfying.
