This is a fabulous place to enjoy excellent high quality food at a real price with good friends. The only issue was the place was too loud, a few soft furnishings would help. I will be back and recommend it to others. Thanks Julia

Excellent food, and superb wine list by the bottle. Relatively minor quip: Wines served by the glass were more glou glou for the most part(as is often the case). Would have loved to see the option to have something Coravined and offered by the glass or carafe - or maybe at least offer some 375s? Too bad I was not there with a large party so we could order a couple of bottles.

Great little wine bar away from the serious busyness of west end of Swan St. Extensive wine list, great outdoor area out the back and small but great selection of food. Service was brilliant. Will be back!
