The food is delicious and waiter Sebastian was excellent.. attentive and looked after our diner with a food allergy. This is now our go to restaurant when visiting the CBD

Overall the service and staff were great and it was great that they were flexible to our needs and allergies. I was also happy that they were able to take my credit card as a hold to ensure we paid for the dining (not the guests we invited). Only negative was that my husbands eggs ordered as poached came out very firm (no ooze), so I know he was disappointed. Other than that I love the food it is wholesome, hearty and tasty.

Came here for the second time and it did not disappoint. We had the feed me menu and we were stuffed towards the end. The entire experience was made more memorable by our lovely server Katherine! She was so friendly and attentive and made the entire experience more pleasant. Will definitely be returning for a third time!
