Absolutely amazing food. Hadn’t really noticed when I joined a hens brunch- it was all about the cocktails then- but the food was amazing and the highlight was everything! Service was wonderful. Location couldn’t be easier. This will be our new pre-theatre place too at $60ph. We did a la carte and it was $95ph with a lot of drinks. We will be back. Our Perth friends were impressed.

We eat out regularly in Melbourne and this was by far the worst food we’ve eaten in years! The menu reads well but is not executed with any finesse at all. Extremely disappointing.

Sunday Bottomless Brunch with friends worked perfectly for an easy catchup: Delicious food, handsome serves, attentive service & no problems getting topped up. No Sunday surcharge (refreshing), great value overall. Some other tables a bit noisy but tolerable given the restaurant was not full.
