    It took over 45 minutes from first to last person receiving meals. People had finished before others even started. Only a table of 8. The food was terrible and under cooked in most cases. Pizza was soggy. Chicken Parma dry, burger raw. Tortellini not cooked and prawns were the worst I ever had. So disappointing as it was for mums birthday. On a high - the cocktails were nice.

    3rd time dining here. Food is always great. Thats why we keep coming back. But service is very average and they need some coaching on how to use OpenTable. Even though you have a confirmed booking they can’t find it. Turning up after booking and having no table available is not fun.

    I made a booking for 6 online that they didn’t have luckily we had a photo of the reservation and there was room! It was so loud we couldn’t hear the waitress or eachother. I ordered lamb cutlets and asked for rare and they were burnt and completely opposite to what I ordered. The waitress was unable to answer any questions about the menu she had no idea! I would definitely not recommend this place especially if you’re looking for the Melbourne food experience you can basically go anywhere and get a wonderful meal! Our lunch at the food court in crown was much better! We won’t be coming back

    It was a lovely spot to enjoy the celebrations of the new year. The staff were amazingly caring considering the business of the evening. We would definitely return

    Unfortunately the Wedges were burnt, my Lemone Chicken was very over powered with the lemon taste it was very sour and hard to eat (like eating an actual lemon). My partners woodfire pizza was amazing, so ate some of he’s as I was very hungry. Service was amazing, the staff were very nice and accommodating. Pity the food was not worth the high price as i could have made a better cheaper Meal at home. Would recommend the place but only for the pizza and service.

    When I booked this booking, I came just before time allocated and time I was meant to have the booking for. My friend and I go in and they refuse to seat us because "they cant see our name and booking" despite it being booked on opentable. Hadnt realised I hadnt rated this restaurant poorly. Never again! Even a booking wont allow you to be seated here.
