"Amazing service.
The staffs welcomed us with a smile and throughout our time there they were constantly asking if we need anything or is everything okay but not to the point that they will get on your nerves.
We ordered scotch fillet steak and it was divine. Served just perfectly fine. Oh and their mash? Wow. 10/10
Will definitely recommend to my family and friends. 🩷"

"Cool hangout. Lots of open seating inside and out. Friendly staff. I came to try their mussels in Thai coconut cream with ciabatta bread. That was superb. Affordable and tasty. Plenty on the menu to try from. Loads of options for those who love their beverages hot or cold. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu."
