We had the feed me menu option and the food was delicious. We were not ravenous and the amount of food was ample for the 4 of us with a great combination of dishes from the menu. Service was efficient and responsive. Staff flexible with addressing specific dietary requirements. Good acoustics made chatting easy even when restaurant got busy. Overall great dining experience and delicious food

Fantastic food and service as usual. The Feed Me menu is always great value and the staff are delightful. Would recommend for a relaxed but special occasion. An oasis in the hustle and bustle of Brunswick St.

Absolutely delicious flavours of food here. We shared many dishes between our table so we could sample many of the different offerings. The steak tartare was the best we have ever tasted many of us agreed. Very reasonably priced and great service in a nice cosy atmosphere.
