    The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! We were a large group of 11 and a few had dietary requirements … everything was catered to well. They also accommodated for split bills which is not usually common for larger groups. We had the $49 set menu which was good value for money with a lot of variety. The team were friendly and seemingly calm although the place was packed.

    Such an incredible environment with even better food and the staff are exceptional! They didn’t rush us, even though we were running slightly late due to waiting for a family member and they provided excellent quality care and service. Highly recommend.
