I've been there heaps in each section but hadn't sat to eat for a while and it was lovely and we had a great time. The two-three staff were so helpful and appeared to be going out of their way to work hard and get things clean for us and we felt very looked-after.

The service and food was excellent! The staff were friendly and attentive, and the chefs were able to accommodate a special dietary request with ease. It's a lovely bistro restaurant which is spacious but cozy at the same time. Will definitely go back again.

We had the porterhouse steak special not expecting much from a $25 steak. Very pleasantly surprised, cooked exactly to our direction and served with a small salad with delightful house dressing and plenty of chips. Add a cold pint, relax and enjoy.
