    Such a beautiful setting and so beautiful during the day. The service was amazing and you could tell that waitstaff staff took great pride in the food as they explained every dish as it was served. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

    We had the set menu for $100 including drinks. Absolutely outstanding food, birria taco’s a little too salty but that can be down to the stock being over reduced but still, really really good food and delicious margaritas. I would definitely go back again. Cute little date spot too. Service was also 10/10 and so the cute scouse guy delivering the goods 🌮

    A surprising and happy find. Eclectic menu of smaller share type items with great flavours. Service was very good and friendly and there was a really happy vibe about the place. I didn't see anything on menu for kids so check that if you have younger ones. Interesting wine selection, a bit on the expensive side for what it was. Local beer was very nice. Overall a very good night out for our family reunion in Sydney
