Third visit. Food is decent and swiftly prepared but the restaurant is always packed. Staff are a little hit and miss and seem to sometimes not pay attention. Is also unlicensed which is a big pain. This stops a good restaurant being a great one.

As always great meals. Cheese Calzone is a must for starters. Everything on the menu is great. And the menu is huge!So are the plates! You will never leave hungry or disapointed. Is BYO so bring your own wine. And is a bit noisy be ause its always so busy. You probably need to book ahead. Tonight We had Seafood plater with sweet potatoes and Tuscan Chicken with salad.

Came here on a busy Saturday night on the back of recommendations from friends. Booked in advance. The strong point is the service it was excellent, attentive, prompt and friendly. (Thank you Ash) Meals were served super quick. The place was seriously hectic and we expected a long wait, but we were eating in no time at all. Everyone had varying meals and all were given positive feedback. Personally had the roast pork special, it was prepared well. The spaghetti a friend had looked very good. Desserts were simple but enjoyable. $150 covered a shared starter, mains, desserts and corkage for four people, happy with that. A little out of the way for us but we'll return at some point. Would recommend to others. Make sure you book. Also BYO so bring a bottle of wine or two.

Packed to the max -despite this the service was on point. At every turn wine and water was being topped up. The menu was huge and meals arrived quickly- especially considering how busy they were. The food was really yummy coupled with the combo of service and setting we will be back!
