    Never thought I’d have such a treat on my way back from seeing sting rays down south of Sydney. I quickly googled a place to have dinner to break up my long drive back and this has been the best food I’ve had during my 2 weeks visiting Australia from NYC. The menu has such variety and the flavor profile is thoughtfully curated. I had the snowy river rainbow trout fillet /almondine / french beans and it was all cooked excellently, seasoned to perfection. The hospitality of the staff was also remarkable. The owner, Damien, was walking around greeting guests and helping explain the menu. That personal touch made the experience even more special. The open kitchen concept is also so inviting. I am such a fan of this place. It is a must visit. Exceptional, really.

    All great! We had a booking for 7. We were served promptly. Excellent food. Proprietor was keen to accommodate our needs - under cover in case it rains, a quiet spot in restaurant to help the one who had hearing problems. A bit surprised by the attire of their workers _ - didn’t seem professional.

    We stumbled upon this really nice restaurant and were blown away by the best eye fillet and beef ragu we’ve ever had! The owner was present, checking in to see if we needed anything and was very attentive to our needs. We were lucky to walk in and be seated without any reservation. I highly recommend this place!
