The food was spot on fresh, taste and good portions. Service was friendly, quick and genuinely welcoming without being over the top. The restaurant itself looks great too, modern, clean and a really nice vibe that makes us want to hang around.

Popped in for an early lunch before seeing a movie. We could order, but the kitchen didn't open until 12 noon. The food was fresh and very tasty. The prawn and pineapple taco was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Food was delicious- however couple of issues 1. Missed order; and 2. Misleading menu Other issues but I’ll get to the crux of it As to 1 - a friend and I ordered the “Feed me” special - the last dish we ordered was missed/forgotten/misplaced as the rest of our dishes came then nothing - not necessarily the end of the world but it took prompting at around 7.10 pm after placing the order at 6.25pm. The place was not busy as I had called before hand asking whether I needed a booking and was told for a table for 2 one wouldn’t be needed. As to 2 - the $65 feed me meal ended up costing $72 plus the credit card surcharge. I had no issue with the cc surcharge but I queried the extra $7. I was told it was because I had ordered the loaded nacho bowl with chargrilled chicken - while it has “(+ Upgrade to Loaded!)” nowhere did it say anything about costing more, as agreed by the poor girl at the counter who I queried the $7 charge about, I noticed on the menu the difference between a normal bowl and a loaded bowl of nachos is $4 - so not sure where that came from. Won’t be coming back to this comedy of errors

Very disappointing experience – service and food both missed the mark!! The service was shocking, largely due to the aggressive and unprofessional attitude of the Team Leader. Her tone came across as defensive and dismissive, with eye-rolling and abrupt responses when we asked reasonable questions. A more professional and respectful approach would have made a big difference to the experience. The food issues started early. The “large” chips portion was extremely small and looked incomplete. A new staff member handled this well by acknowledging the issue and offering extra chips, which we appreciated. During mains, everyone else received their food, but the chicken dishes did not arrive. After waiting 15-20 minutes, we asked for an update. Instead of reassurance, the Team Leader snapped at us, saying the chicken was “finished in the kitchen” and would come when ready, with visible eye-rolling and an extremely harsh tone. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary…. Clear communication about delays would have helped manage expectations. When the chicken finally arrived, it was undercooked. Given similar feedback mentioned in recent reviews, there seems to be a need for better quality checks and training on toxic behaviour.. Before leaving, we calmly tried to give constructive feedback, suggesting that better communication about delays and a respectful tone would have helped. The response was again aggressive — blaming kids and even us for asking about our food. By saying it loud ‘oh really m sorry but….’ That was the final straw Unfortunately, our experience was extremely poor, both in terms of service and food quality. For a bill of over $300, the service was appalling and the food was below average! Not worth the money. Not recommended...

Came here with my siblings and the food was amazing! The vibe is so good too you don’t often see restaurants with such a nice vibe more catchy music, younger siblings had a dance! Even had a nice dessert after our lunch. Churros are 10/10. All of our food was so quick and delicious
