Plenty of parking right outside. The young waitress was really nice and adept. The menu itself is small (which is a good thing). There is a massive board of specials indoors that changes every now and then. The entrees came quickly. The mains, took about 30 minutes (full restaurant inside).
They were very accommodating. We were allowed our puppy into their courtyard in the back with seats about 16 people. Great ambience and music.
My t-bone steak was a bit raw in some parts (medium rare) and was at room temperature when it arrived. The duck and the prawns were top notch. Over a $100 for two people (no drinks or dessert).

A cosy Bistro. Came on a very busy night without reservation and was very lucky to be accommodated. Service was very good. Rotating menu that can only be viewed at the end of the room.
Entrees: Seafood chowder, fresh seafood but a tad too much flour. The garlic prawn was nice however a mountain of spring onions on top.
Mains: Roast duck leg roast was well done, though no orange fragrance in the advertised orange sauce. Filet mignon was well cooked but once again a mountain of spring onions which really overpowered and imbalance the dish.
Overall food not bad, just need a touch of fine tuning. Enjoyed the friendly staff and homey atmosphere.

Tasty European and fusion food. The menu is small with around 4-5 mains but they double the number of dishes by using the same ingredients for the special of the days but cook differently and with different vegetables. Good idea. The food was tasty and good size of portion. The wine bottles are good price between 30-50 the bottle, beer is slightly more expensive to be 10$ per small bottle. The decoration and ambience is cozy. However not 5 stars foe me as the Expresso Panacota texture is thicker than traditional taste

We had a great meal here! The folks I was with returned to eat here again, they'd enjoyed it so much! The steaks were melt in the mouth amazing!
Others have complained abt the service… it was friendly & nice, just the right amount of chitchat from the waitress. The food didn't arrive speedily, for a small place (there's not a load of diners to cook for because off limited seating), but the kids meals came quickly, which we appreciated.
I think the creme caramel had some kind of flour inside, because of the texture, but apart from that the food was LOVELY. & reasonably priced. We'd definately be keen to eat there again.

We had a lovely experience here. The food was divine, quite high quality and flavourful and a very thought out menu. Cocktails were delicious and not too stingy on the alcohol content if I may say! The staff were very friendly. Tables are wobbly though, myself and the lady next to me had a very funny but embarrassing almost tumble due to that. A bit on the pricey side but worth it for a treat yourself/ special occasion night out. Would go again in a heartbeat ☺️
