   The food was delicious, would recommend ordering mains as tapas plates are very small and expensive

   The dining experience was underwhelming. Staff were friendly enough but serious training is needed as they were completely unaware of dietary requirements (I.e. didn't know which dishes were vegan or what pescatarian even meant). Three out of four of us wanted to have the Feed Me option, with the fourth being vegan and apprehensive with what would be offered to her, but we were told this wasn't possible. What felt "off" was that the chef poked his head out of the kitchen to look at us before he said no. Was that really necessary? Food itself was fine, but desserts were subpar, especially the chocolate bites which were four HUGE chunks of dense chocolate. Guess it's good value at only $13 but even with the four of us helping to finish it, it was too rich a dish. Asked if we were able to take the chocolate away but was told they were not able to offer this option due to "health and safety reasons". (Is it really the reason or did they not have any containers that aren't plastic?) Drinks-wise, the waiter didn't know what ginger beer was, but then we found out that was because they didn't have this at all. Gin and tonics are priced at cocktail prices which we found to be too dare. Disappointed with the overall experience and pretty embarrassed as we were with two friends who were visiting Melbourne. Don't think it's a place we'd be returning.

   Amazing tapas brunch with free flowing drinks. Sat outside on the quiet lane as rather noisy inside but due to hen party! Food was brilliant, chefs choice - but suited us perfectly- mushroom dip and chips, patatas bravas , chorizo, pulled beef salad and amazing maple syrup brussel sprouts! Highly recommend.

   Our meal was amazing and our waiter and the bar & kitchen staff just lovely. The only sour note was the way the manager kept storming in and out of the restaurant with his back pack on barking at the staff. Horrible managers ruin ambience - and really the world has moved past being able to talk to your staff like crap. Do better.

    We came for Valentines day so I appreciate that is quite a busy time. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, and they seemed to have a good selection of cocktails and wines. We did find that the service was lacking however which was disappointing. No one came to check if at any point we wanted to order a drink. No one came to our table for 45 minutes after finishing our main course. As I said, I appreciate that it was busy and the food was great

    This eatery, while full of pleasant Latin-style flavours, is an ideal location for the single diner since the noise level is so high that meaningful conversation is impossible. The waiters were very friendly and helpful and overall the food very good, although the steak, while pink in the centre was dry. It's a pity there weren't any local wines. Next time I'll be sure to book a table on the sidewalk where it will be easier on my ears.

    Bottomless brunch the drinks were watered down and we had to flag down the waiters to get another drink. We had our first drink and they did not come by for another 45 minutes. We then had to call them everytime we wanted a drink. Food was bland and not that good. We only ate the toast and chorizo out of all the food sides. It is chefs choice but you can put in your dietary requirements

    Very nice package. Organized a birthday there with the 90minutes package and we were not disappointed! Great food (and large quantities - we were slightly ashamed we didn't finish everything) and cartered for the diverse needs we had (normal, vegetarian and vegan). Mocktails and cocktails were nice and overall ambience was fun. With a very nice staff, it makes for a great place to stop at

    We went there for the NYE dinner set menu with free drinks. The food was delicious but very limited in variety and they alternated between chicken and beef for different tables without asking us what we prefer which was very poor. The drinks on the package were all watered down and we didn't like most of them. All in all, it was an average experience and extremely overpriced for the quality of food and drinks.

    Food was very tasty and staff were warm. Lots of pressure to have the feed me menu, but too much food; turns out we really only needed $50 worth of food each, which is what I would have estimated and preferred to pay. Next time… Massive bug issue inside (tiny flies); our table killed tens of them and watched them drown in our drinks and gravy. That’s a cleaning issue and should be dealt with stat, as definitely killed the mood for some of our group.
