Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Beautiful venue. We sat in the front section closest to Glenferrie Road but there's a more formal area and an upstairs rooftop. Food is so good. Generous servings when you choose share plates and great service. Lovely friendly staff.

We had a delightful Mother’s Day lunch. We booked for 6 people upstairs on the terrace. It was a sunny day so the atmosphere was great. Being upstairs we ordered via a QR code on the table. It was really easy and they had enough staff to ferry the orders out pretty quickly. Both food and drinks were served pretty quickly. We shared some small plates for entree and then enjoyed mains with some sides. The food was delicious with good sized serves. We’re definitely coming back soon. Great value. Great experience.

The service is what really lets this place down. We had a large group and sat with plates (we had to stack them ourselves) like this for well over an hour. Food was OK but the gem side salad looked pretty but lacked flavour, no dressing. Lights kept going bright and low which was odd. Down lights in the tables were very intense. Upstairs was loud with really rude staff. Again no table service to clean glasses. See pics. Mt Erica up the road more reliable service for a similar venue.

I came in a couple weeks ago and I would just like to say that this was one of the most sensational dining experiences I have ever had. The food, the service and even the restroom was phenomenal. In particular I want to clarify that both the waiters, Rex and nick, were exceptional. I was left speechless by the way they conducted themselves and how much more pleasurable they made the overall service. I’m writing this review to personally thank them and your establishment for this wonderful time and would definitely like to come again. Thankyou and thank God for pointing me in the direction of your hotel.

The parmigiana was very dry. The prawns in the linguine were pretty much mush. As for my steak, it tasted decent, but it was raw. Not even rare. As in “kissed the grill for 5 seconds” raw. Drinks service was slow, and also messed up my drink order. Didn’t particularly want to come. Won’t be coming back. 2 stars because the chips were nice.
