European ambience and that air of flavour-filled food. Being of European background myself I was pleased that the quantity was right up there along with the quality of the offerings. A variety of different tapas - some I'd not seen before - great service, cocktails and an admirable wine list. The drinks were sensational and the Cantina's set up underpinned the uplifting and noisy atmosphere. Just what was needed for a Saturday evening escape. Cheers

I can’t thank the staff at Crossley St Cantina enough! Due to an extremely last minute venue cancellation, our group booked in with Crossley St Cantina for dinner. The staff here were so easy to book through, multiple dietary requirements were easily catered for and a few other requests were also accepted with ease. We were seated downstairs in the private function room and it was cosy, vibey and most importantly cool on such a hot day! All the staff were amazing to deal with, the food was spectacular and the pricing great. We loved our experience with Crossley St Cantina and wouldn’t hesitate to go back. A huge thank-you to all the team here, we had a great time!

Thanks so much to Geoffrey and the team. We had the best fun at our girls Xmas party. What started as a bottomless brunch ended with us leaving the venue at 10.30. An absolute hoot made better by delicious food and drinks and exceptional service. We could not fault.

Absolutely amazing food. Hadn’t really noticed when I joined a hens brunch- it was all about the cocktails then- but the food was amazing and the highlight was everything! Service was wonderful. Location couldn’t be easier. This will be our new pre-theatre place too at $60ph. We did a la carte and it was $95ph with a lot of drinks. We will be back. Our Perth friends were impressed.
