Disappointing.
Booked for my birthday. Confirmed the night before via email. We travelled almost an hour only to have the place shut. No signage, no communication and we were left to call to get a through to them which took multiple attempts. It was embarrassing for me as we had to find other place for a large group to have my birthday celebration but due to it being a Saturday everywhere was busy. They also took my full amount as well which I could have spent somewhere else. Completely understandable due to the pandemic however there were no communication on this. Im so upset and embarrassed

Went here on a Tuesday night a couple of weeks ago with some friends - visiting from Melbourne. The three bar tenders working were very cute.

Natalie was a fantastic host, who promptly brought us our food, and topped up our water. We had a small issue with one plate, which was sorted promptly by Natalie.
Fantastic service which made the evening a joy.

Giving 1 star for the service and environment, the rooftop arrangement was nice but the food was soo bad. I ordered chicken parmigiana and it was so dry and weird. The chicken was double fried and had dark burnt edges. The coleslaw was smelly and only the chips were kinda okay to eat. I could not even eat half from my plate. Do not recommend going there at all for food. Just wasted $24, even frozen parmigiana from woolies tastes better.

I liked the atmosphere and staff were nice . Music was super loud and did not like the cocktail I ordered. Beer was good and very presentable.
