Came here for a friend’s birthday and had a really nice time in the outdoor area out back. It was a busy day but I thought the staff were doing great at keeping up with demand. There was also a live DJ using actual records which was awesome! All I’ll say is that the bathroom was tiny (admittedly only went to the outdoor one) and is quite claustrophobic when it’s a busy weekend. Would come again!

Bit of a let down as this place used to be a favourite of ours! The man serving us was very lovely and knowledgeable and even gave us a drink on the house. However, the high seats are just not a vibe and I think the menu needsss work. The food was good but not the vibe - why have 10 pasta dishes when there is a busy Italian right across the road? My partner and I agreed that they should add some more pub classics to the menu (e.g burgers and parmas) and stay more true to the local vibe rather than the small overpriced meals.

Fantastic new renovation of a local favourite. Food and service was top notch. I had a pasta dish that was delicious ( didn’t share any with my partner), and lovely wines from the well thought out wine list. Our waitress Maria was wonderful! We will be coming back with friends and family.

Personal taste and opinion, the venue has lost its spark of individuality & creativity both visually within the bistro area & forcing the staff to wear uniforms? (POST RENNO'S ADDITION) it comes off as very corporate in all the wrong ways. As mentioned in a previous review, why have such an oversaturation of pasta when there's a solid joint close by? The flexibility of the menu prior to renovations was great and had an option for everyone, instead what's been mashed up is some boujee mask of a 5-star restaurant, with a fragrance of Lea Beau, Morse 'Posh' scent. The only positive is, the beer garden was thankfully untouched... Lastly it's way too eager on being super posh and 'expensive' .. Perhaps ok at best for a few drinks in very rare instances however I'd look elsewhere 8-9 times /10

This place is a real gem. Funky vibe and atmosphere. Hostess Maria is amazing at keeping the restaurant area vibrant and exciting. The food is fantastic, highly recommend the starters with your drinks. Also love the back area for drinks and a dance. Will definitely be returning.
