Love this place. Not sure why in Australia businesses ask for tips especially in a country that has fair work Australia especially in a time when the cost of living is so high. It just creates an awkward silence when the option is created. That said my friends who were from Victoria and had their flight delayed. We were thankful they held the table. They loved the food and raved and look forward to coming again.
