pasta was very solid and i have no complaints, though i wouldnt say it was impressive. The cocktails were unique and i was really happy with the apple pie whiskey drink. Service felt a bit awkward, our server was kinda quiet and just did her job so it wasnt bad but im generally more used to a friendlier service. went on a christmas jazz night and i personally feel like the restaurant missed the point of what a jazz band is supposed to add to a restaurant. the band was really loud and people were talking even louder to hear eachother and it just got to the point of it being unpleasant and difficult to converse with someone right next to you. can only imagine what it was like for people right in front of the band.

Dining here was amazing!! So once to have local jazz and delicious food offered locally. It is usually something I travel into the city CBD for but look no further! The staff were so proactive in helping and serving, not the mention the food was delicious. I really hope they keep the Sunday night jazz and cocktail deal as it was definitely a seller for making me a repeat customer.

The service was not very good. The waiters seemed lost and our table was crowded with plates but no one would come to clear the table. They kept bringing out dishes but there was no room to put them on the table. Overall 2/5.

My friends & I were there for dinner. The ambience was great & the drinks & food were really lovely & fresh. The portions were just right. Had the chilli crab ravioli. It was delicious. The only downside with the menu was that there was only 2 choices for dessert & no coffee. We expected good coffee for a. Italian restaurant. But the Tiramisu we had was really yummy. If we had to give a suggestion the only thing we found they could improve was on the service. The staff didn’t really pay much attention to us or clear the plates when we finished. Other than that the staff were courteous & friendly. I would definitely go back & recommend it to anyone looking for a good restaurant in the Rhodes area.
