A place that feels like home.. I don't mean that in a sense that the place is covered in dog hair, the tv is blaring, the kids are screaming and there's lego all over the floor; more in a sense that you feel welcomed, content and at home from the minute you enter, right up until you leave. We wanted to create a place, that I myself, would want to visit on a regular basis. A place where your name is more important to us than your money is. A place where you feel like a regular from your first visit. A place where you feel like a part of our family. A place you felt you've been before. A place that feels like home.... Ok, so we have fancy wine glasses, twinkling candles, nice chairs and really shiny cutlery, but don't let that fool you... We're humble, both in our service and in our food, and pretentiousness and oversized egos were banished from the premises the day we started trading. We like looking the part, but life's too short for airs and graces...

    Chose daily special of confit duck pasta. Tasty and generous serve but cream sauce too runny. Partner had mussels which were delicious though very salty. Desserts large portions. Young waiters were kind and efficient.

    Understand why their reputation for curries exist now. Chicken korma was excellent.

    We had a celiac in our group who was well looked after not just by the menu but the knowledgeable and genuinely caring staff who explained how they manage celiacs. Outstanding experience from one of the best local restaurants on the Peninsula. That’s why we keep going back. Well done team!
