We were here for casual catch up. The atmosphere is cozy, and the lighting is warm. The food tastes good, with a mix of local and fancy dishes. Drinks are refreshing, and the service is friendly. Prices are expensive. it’s a great spot to relax with friends. Overall, it’s a good choice for a casual night out. Parking available at wilson’s for 21$ after 4pm on weekends. Else it would be expensive parking. Would recommend to walk for this place rather than to pay 50 for parking on work week. Booking needed or walks in allowed if its not busy. I prefer booking in before. Would only recommend if you want to try this for an experience

We had 11 of us here for Christmas lunch and it was absolutely sensational. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the food was next level delicious and generous servings and the drinks were spot on. Thank you for making our Christmas Day so wonderful, we appreciate it and hope to come back. Wonderful all around 🎄

Had a really lovely dining experience. Steaks were cooked perfectly to our liking and tiramisu was very great although quite uniquely made with a hard top. Table service from Cass was top notch, she kept us entertained and responded to all my very chatty dad's requests with a smile and good banter. A+ for her.

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere of the place added to the overall experience, creating a warm and inviting vibe. However, there is room for improvement in the service, which could have been more attentive and efficient. One surprising downside was that the bar didn’t offer Long Island Iced Teas, which seemed like a notable omission for a venue of its calibre. That said, the location near Flinders Street made it convenient and accessible. Some of the cocktails were crafted exceptionally well and stood out as highlights. The Chicken Parma, in particular, was a delight—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. Despite minor shortcomings, the experience overall was enjoyable and memorable, making it a spot worth revisiting.

The food was actually good but we had such a poor experience due to service (or lack of). Our waiter just kept on forgetting us so we had to constantly ask other waiters for assistance. Honestly there are so many restaurants along this strip, it's really not worth the headache.
