Food was good. Server was quite abrupt. Best food: warm focaccia, loaded fries, arancini, prawns. Crab didn’t really taste like crab. Very good espresso martinis. Not a fan of communal toilets. We were on the first floor and didn’t find it as loud as other reviews mention.

From being greated at the door and seated shortly after on very busy night we had a perfect night. Frank our waiter was great and all the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. The food was amazing and served in a timely manner as to not overwhelm us or overload the table and the margaritas were so tasty, especially the avocado one ..yum.
