Just off the main drag in increasingly happening Healesville, this subterranean bunker wouldn’t be out of place in the city. The building is one of the most striking in town, a collection of warm blond wood slats standing to attention like a bundle of matchsticks, and inside it’s a contrasting mix of genres and textures.

The recently revamped Modern Australian menu from ex-Easy Tiger chef - Jarrod Hudson features generous plates and rich flavours at great affordable prices.

The service was outstanding, food delicious and venue beautifully cooled on a very warm summers day. What a gem of a spot. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience. 10/10 from all of us. Thankyou Herd.

Atmosphere not so good, seemed they were concerned with some large groups about to arrive. Did feel a bit rushed in our dining experience, as we were in and out the door within an hour. Efficient but not very relaxing.
