Great food and ambiance. Friendly staff. It never disappoints!The owner is very hands-on and this makes a real difference. The small plates are always a winner.
The people who give this place anything more than 2 stars must be cooked, because firstly the place was cooking hot. Almost no ventilation and no air con. Only one tiny fan in the corner that offered no relief to the blistering heat. Kind of makes you feel like you’re at some dingy back alley diner in Thailand where sweat and heat is the norm. AND DONT ORDER THE PIZZAWhile their pizza toppings looked good, the actual pizza is not. I am not sure how they make it but it was greasy as hair that’s been unwashed for months. The one pizza almost tasted like it had blue cheese instead of mozzarella. I hate blue cheese. Both pizzas came out very watery. Like a disgusting mushy kind of watery. The tomato paste tasted extra artificial. The Avo was raw. They burnt the first pizza and when they brought it out again it was half cooked. At least they didn’t charge for the second one. the waitress was at least kind and pleasant. But that was probably the only good thing this place has going for it.
A long while back I came here for the 2 course special on their Wednesday quiz night. This place was so much fun! The quiz master was absolutely brilliant and the owner, Vanessa, was so welcoming and very hands on. I had the calamari steaks as main and the gnocchi as starters. My friend had the pork fillet as mains and the arancini balls as starters. Massive portions! As in ginormous! The food was also very flavoursome, although I did prefer the pork fillet dish over the ostrich steaks. Today however I decided to order in from here. I remember their burgers looking really nice the last time I was at the restaurant, and so that seemed to be a good option. The patty is handmade was lots of flavour. The buns are lathered in garlic butte goodness. The chips are handcut real potatoes and the onion rings are crispy guilty pleasures. I was super happy with my takeaway, but definitely should make a point of returning to the restaurant soon.
