Great restaurant! Menu options are great. Specials 2 and 3 course options are value for money. Tagliatelle was amazing and was impressed as I don’t normally go for vegetarian. Desert was a brownie. Absolutely spot on with a decent spoon of cream and ice cream on the side. Coffee was very decent too. Service was attentive, friendly and made for an enjoyable experience. Recommend and will definitely be back.

We were a party of 5. I opted for beef cheeks instead of my normal pizza, and it didn’t disappoint. It tasted awesome. We also had carbonara, pizza and crumbed pork loin. Everyone loved their meals. Service was great, waitress was new to the restaurant but was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely return again and again and again.!

Fabulous place for an early breakfast, brunch or even lunch. Most important thing to remember is BOOK. Staff are friendly and table service is prompt with water and glasses delivered just after seating. Smoothies were a huge hit and it was difficult to choose between Benny or Waffles. I ended up with a Pink Dragon Fruit Smoothie and the Garlic Mushroom Benny. Yum.
