Went here for a galentines dinner with my friend and we were both blown away with how yummy the food was! Absolutely obsessed with the king fish sashimi and crispy duck wontons. We got the feed me menu which was very reasonably priced and the mains were a good size. Cocktails were superb. Overall such a great experience, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food came out quickly and my taste buds will never be the same. Highly recommend.

Fabulous food in a nice spot with Italian vibes. We had the fettuccine and gnocchi and both were obviously freshly made and delicious. It’s a busy spot with lovely ambience. There is a 10% weekend surcharge, which we were surprised by coming from out of Melbourne. Would recommend.

Overall excellent experience… got one of the set menus and a course was missed and brought out after we got deserts and about to leave. Was still happy with everything and given it was Valentine’s Day little things like this can happen
