Dropped in for just a quick coffee and was blown away by the friendliness of the staff and the magnificent coffee. Went back the next day and the barista had changed (a woman the first day and then a man) and the coffee was once again excellent. Well done to everyone for the excellent consistency of the coffee and the friendly and warm atmosphere.

We ordered an entree of baby octopus to share. It appeared to have been frozen and then microwaved. Terrible flavour and texture. Two of the steaks we ordered medium rare came very well done. They were replaced which took about 15-20 minutes by which time sided we had ordered were cold. No apologies, no offer to replace a side or two. Wines ordered were placed on the table unopened. When paying 3x retail it’s fair to expect some wine service. When we switched fro white to red no change of glasses was offered. Overall, a bad experience. Will not be back.

We always eat dinner here when we visit. Staff are friendly and attentive and service is efficient. It can get busy so we always book. The lamb dishes are exceptional slow cooked shoulder and 4 point rack.

Very disappointing dinner tonight. My expensive eye fillet steak was over cooked. Med rare was more mediator well done. No steak knife was offered for our meals… Shoestring fries in the menu were fat curly fries which clearly were not homemade. The side of pumpkin was dry tasteless couldn’t possibly have been freshly made… The entree octopus dish was overpowered by some type of chickpea sauce with no salami insight which was on the menu.. $5 meatballs with bread tomato based sauce were the size of a 20 cent coin, not as had hoped for…. Whilst the waitresses were lovely the service was very average lack of knowledge to describe menu to us was disappointing….. Sadly we would not visit here again or recommend….

We only had takeaway coffee which was as expected for a barista coffee. While waiting I witnessed a diner received different food to what they ordered this was immediately resolved but the woman serving seemed a bit ditsy. It was a Sunday morning the cafe was not busy ....constant but not busy ....... and my coffee did take a bit longer than I usually expect.
