Such a great experience from the moment we entered the door. Our for dinner for a family birthday, with young children is always difficult. Especially trying to find food that kids enjoy and will willingly eat. Kids pasta, nuggets and margarita pizza arrived in such quick fashion with such large portion sizes as well. Main meals are reasonably priced, but the quality is something we haven’t experienced in Australia. The wood fired pizzas and the gnocchi were incredible, once again with very large portion sizes. Staff were inviting and food service was prompt. Will definitely be returning as soon as possible.
