We went on a monday. $14 specials are great. Beers are expensive by comparison, but food was good and rooftop is a great space.

We were a group of 16 and the food came out pretty much at the same time and was hot. All food was good though the steaks were thought to be just average. Enjoyable experience overall.

There were 54 people in the restaurant and one bar staff. It was a 15 minute wait to get a drink and then another 15 minute wait to order a meal. They need more staff...it is ridiculous. This is the 4th time we have had our Christmas lunch there and it will be the last...its way too frustrating.

We enjoyed the rooftop area... if only we weren't booted out of the undercover and into the sunshine on a hot day. The food could be better - the chips are dry and old....

We were on the rooftop for lunch. Our order was forgotten but the hostess kindly gave us a glass of wine each as an apology. Unfortunately the attitude of the staff generally was pretty poor.

Gets really busy at lunchtime and food takes a while to get out. Had the calamari and prawns salad, not impressed by the 3 tiny pieces of each so I wouldn’t try that again. Other food looked good though.

food was horrible, service was worse. Only 2 people working the bar on a busy summer Friday lunch. Booked table for 10 and the table barely fit 8. Someone orders a haloumi burger and was given a beef burger, was sent back only to return sometime late with another beef burger that was flung down in front of them. Would not return for food.

Thank you for a great evening it was for my farewell drinks for work, apologies I had expected many more people and possibly due to the expected rain they didn’t show but nonetheless the espresso martini’s on tap where amazing :)

I had a booking on the rooftop at 19:30. I was hoping on the outside I would have been in a quieter area away from the DJ, but I think another group took my table and hid the reservation sign. The space that was given was a bit noisy and not really equipped for 15 people- we had to ask the team to move some people away (which they did). The food was incredible- I had ordered one of their rooftop platters which was divine. The only problem was they couldn't offer me a takeaway container for some of the leftovers which was poor considering what I paid for the platter. We wound up offering food to other patrons so it wouldn't go to waste. I'd still come back but was left a bit disappointed on this visit.

I had booked a table of 10 and specifically asked to be seated indoors. My group arrived to find that we were in fact not seated inside, but were outside on two small round tables. How we were supposed to fit 10 people was beyond comprehension. Luckily there was a dirty table inside that had just been vacated, so we removed glasses and dishes from and sat down there. The ordering process took up to 15-20 minutes of standing in line. Then we waited another 45 minutes for our food. Two lamb salads came out fairly quickly, which was great - but the two people with those salads had to eat in front of the other eight people for another 30-35 minutes while they waited for theirs. Will never come back again.

Booked a table on the top level but when we got there, they hadn't reserved a table for us. The whole place smelt like cigarettes because the door to the smoking area remained open, despite us closing it on a few occasions. We could only stay for 20 minutes because of the smell. The music was also so loud at 5pm that we couldn't hear each other talk. Would not got back!
