   Upon arriving the layout was not clear as there did not appear to be any greeting point from which you are attended to and seated. Asked a staff member for assistance but needed the man serving at the bar to direct him where to seat us. We were shown to our table without any dialogue. No menus provided which my wife obtained by going back to the bar, there was also no indication of any specials available. By this point we weren't that confident that it would live up to our expectations and just discretely left. The ratings given are only a reflection of our initial experience, which did not give a good vibe. Ignore the ratings for food as that obviously was not tried.

   Good place to pre drink or party with for all occasions. Hasn't changed in years.

   Went here for a work break up. Service was slow, uninviting and unprofessional, no one knew what they were doing. The meals came out sporadically, and when they did, they were also disappointing. Arancini was plain dry and boring. The pork Belly looked like it came from a kitchen in a nursing home. It was slopped on the plate. I especially loved looking at the pass and on the cabinet which looked like once upon a time housed desserts to see a bottle of round up, right where the meals were coming out. All in all the dining experience was disappointing. Prices are exorbitant for what you get in return. Place has gone down hill significantly over the years. Which is a shame, food used to be amazing. I’ll include a photo of what was left of the pork belly… after I attempted to eat it.

   My friends and I attended freight on a Thursday night , music was settle. Seated in a nice area close to the bar for easy access and was able to see when our food came up. We ordered a cheesy garlic bread for entree and the presentation was outstanding . The garlic bread melted in our mouths it was that good. All dishes ordered were beautiful and very filling.

   Really good atmosphere, however we booked in for dinner and half the menu was out of stock at 7:30pm which was really disappointing. Not many options at all, especially none for gluten free patrons. Really disappointing.

   Food was good. No table service which is fine but I think a lack of staff moving around meant that other patrons let their kids run loose, screaming and climbing walls (literally). Hard to blame the restaurant for the behaviour of other patrons but having a bit more staff presence may have made our experience more enjoyable.
