The Swordfish was as tender as butter and accompanied with perfectly grilled vegetables. A lovely, bright and colourful salad balanced out the dish. A glass of Rose wine was the perfect choice and the walnut bread with Lupine butter was absolutely delicious. Staff gave attentive, excellent service, which I don’t often experience as a single female diner. Great rail station ambience, fun to see the trains go by. Book early!

Thought the ambience was lovely in the old railway building, service top notch and excellent food and wine. Difficult to fault. Couvert with tasty bread, butter and pate. Salmon ceviche to share following by prawn linguine and ribeye chimichanga. A bit away from the main restaurant drag but worth making the effort.

Rui and his team were fantastic with handling our orders, even if there were other diners together with a table of 20! All our foods from the starters to the main to the desert were dull! Try the wild game Croquettes for a starter, wow! The swordfish and steak nets were fantastic and the frozen cheesecake desert was yum-mo!! Great service and good food with a good wine card and bar selection in a well restored railway warehouse. We're back!

Very nice place and nice food. The service was a little slow. read more Very nice place and nice food. The service was a little slow.
