Initially one of my friends was a bit skeptic about the place, but we all ended up loving it. Nice cocktails - tailor made by the bartender based on each one of us preferences; we loved the corn fitter snack. Interesting interior based on its name. Good service.

Great cocktail bar in Melbourne - we had a small group function here and we were looked after well. The finger food was decent, the soft shell crab burgers were something else… unreal. The soup dumplings and the mango/coconut bites were a bit small, even considering they’re finger food.

Unfortunately my experience here was ruined. The atmosphere of the restaurant is fantastic. The service I received was fantastic. Chris. My server was very gracious and professional. The taste of the food was also quite nice but unfortunately towards the end of my meal I felt a crunch and as I pulled it out of my mouth it seem to be a small bit of glass or glass like material in my food which is quite unfortunate as I was really enjoying myself before this moment I was refunded the cost of the part of the meal that contained this glass like substance although the atmosphere and service was fantastic I am unsure if I’ll be able to recommend this place considering what happened

A return visit. The food was fresh and delicious, as good as our first visit. We asked for recommendations on some dishes and ordered a variety of meat and vegetarian. The atmosphere is relaxed & cosy and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you like and appreciate this review please give it a like or a thumbs up so that I know what content to include in future reviews.

Such a lovely spot for an evening drink and late night snacks! Our server was brilliant, explained why their Martini's were so good and helped us chose, also great explanation of the food too. Really enjoyable evening! Thanks everyone.
