    Excellent service delivering an innovative degustation menu. I loved the wine pairing. We sat at the bar facing the action in the open kitchen. It was a highlight watching the finely tuned chef team in action. A great experience. Highly recommended.

    A group of four, two couples who have known each other for years. We covered the menu well from fish to burgers from pate to prawns with sweet chill sauce. Our friend is a wine guru and connected with the sommelier and made some great choices. An intimate space and one we look forward to visiting again.

    We had lunch to celebrate my daughtes birthday. Our table booking was on the deck, it was a bit too sunny so the staff member happily moved us inside. The young lady working behind the bar in the garden was delightful and recommended the steak sandwich which I had and it was really good. Definitely going back. Thank you.
