Lovely way to have a girls lunch on a warmish Spring day. Snacky bits and bubbles. Excellent service. And good company. Will be back.

The bar is lovely serving good wine and tasty food but the value is horrendous. Portions were very small. The cheese platter was insulting - a very small mouthful (2 at best) of cheese for $14.50. The wine glasses are also not a generous pour. We spent over $160 for two on food and 2 glasses of wine each… and were not satisfied. My husband needed to eat more when we got home… given the other options in the area, we will not be coming back. I recommend going to Harvie instead for quality food, wine, ambiance and good value..

Good for wine/drinks, great range. Food is below average and extremely overpriced for the quality and portions were served. Don’t recommend the food, just stick to the wine.

Friendly but hit and miss service. Cheese plate could use a few more condiments. Stools in lounge area too low. Does have a good feel though.
