    Booked an outside table for the impromptu Robbie Williams gig at Federation Square. Great customer service, good seating and a terrific meal. Nightmare trying to get into the venue due to only one entry point for the concert, but this was not the fault of the restaurant staff in anyway, just poor planning by those arranging the concert. We will definitely be back.

    MY NEW FAVE COFFEE PLACE: Imaginative coffee menu and great service. Also can't go wrong with an all-day-brekkie menu, the pulled pork eggs bene was beautifully presented and a decent portion. Initially my coffee order was served incorrectly, but the staff were exceedingly apologetic about it and made the mixed up orders again at no charge which is phenomenal service.
