Ordered the Nona Ange Linguine and Pumpkin Feta Risotto. Great food, quite generous portions. Maybe we could have shared the dishes. Service was friendly.
Ample parking both within the facility and the service road as well.

Great service, food and on time in 15 minutes from the time we sat down. Amazing because it was full and was sure it would take much longer for our food to come. Staff were very friendly also. Will go back again soon. Thankyou and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Fantastic meal in the middle of Dandenong. Burgers are amazing and my colleagues all enjoyed their meals. I had the atomic which was delicious. Outdoor patio beer garden a lovely atmosphere too

Amazing personalised service, even when they were very busy. Food is absolutely stunning. Salted perfectly, steak made with no dry spots, chips and break perfectly crunchy. Salad dressed with actual flavour.
Decor is really spot on and bonus points for giving back to the community and installing solar panels. Definitely will be back someday

Love the venue and look and feel of the place. Beautiful family get together vibes. Their signature Chicken flourinetine is a winner so we came the second time and ordered the Grilled barramundi and a Pasta dish. Not a fan, nothing special- especially with the price we paid. We will still come back but we will stick with what's popular or what staff recommend. Staff are friendly as ever.
