I had the best afternoon, I booked outside even though it was hot, we were placed under the shade (even offered inside). The wait staff were incredible, very quick at taking our orders and bringing them out. Can’t wait to go back.

It was a very busy night, the first 30+ night for months and it was clear no one in eltham wanted to cook and they wanted to eat out. We had big table of 12, the restaurant was packed and we didn’t need to wait for service or our food. We were constantly checked on. My mum had a wonderful birthday with her kids and grandkids. Thank you!
