Stopped here on a whim for lunch and wow, what a meal! Incredible service, beers ice cold, stunning interior and atmosphere and the food was incredible. We had the platter, the house made wallaby sausage pizza, and the loaded tots and literally everything was exceptional we especially loved the homemade sauces. Would definitely come back again!
