    Consistency is the word to use with Il Solito Posto. Consistently fresh and flavoursome food, exceptional service and a price point that is adequate for both personal and corporate wallets. This is my go-to restaurant when I have visiting executives, and I am always applauded for the choice. In a world where post COVID service can be sadly lacking in many restaurants, Il Solito keeps raising the bar. Cannot fault the service or food. Thank you, team!

    Great evening enjoying delicious food & cocktails with a gf at Mr Tompkins. The service was excellent, very friendly, genuine & thoughtful. All of our menu choices were generous servings - fresh octopus & a vege salad for our appetisers. The rump & swordfish steaks as mains were absolutely divine. We also had the potatoes (bowl fit for 4 - couldn't eat them all) and chargrilled corn as our side, great! No room for dessert. Really love the space and decor. We came early so it was quiet with enjoyable background music, the restaurant was getting busy as we were leaving and was a good atmosphere. Thank you to the team for looking after us. Highly recommend!
