in all honesty, i didn't actually have super high hopes for this place. we went here today for an 80th birthday lunch and i was pleasantly surprised. the service was friendly and attentive and the girls always had a smile on their face. a small negative was that it took a while for our meals to come out. but once they did, i was quite happy with my choice of crab linguine. the combination of blue swimmer crab meat and chilli with the rosé sauce wasprettystandard but they did it well. nothing was too overpowering, however the chilli was a bit lacking (mind you, i do like a bit of kick to my meals!). my husband had salt and pepper squid and the serve was really substantial and the squid was well coated and well cooked. coffees weren't amazing, but certainly not horrible. all other meals served looked delicious! nice fit out too :) all in all it was an unexpectedly nice dining experience!

positives and negatives. service was quite slow but it wasprettybusy. on the whole the food was of a good standard, well cooked and well presented. good serving sizes. the only thing i found a bit rude was that one of our party asked for her egg to have yolk removed. in other words egg white only. she is unable to tolerate yolks. apparently the chef was too precious to separate an egg so she had to remove the egg all together from the burger. not great, not accomodating. too bad if any diner has an allergy or dislike. probably won't visit again as most other places much more accomodating

unfortunatelyprettypoor overall experience.... maybe they're just having teething problems. the fit out is great and it's really spacious, but really that's about the only good things i can say. we arrived for sunday breakfast at 9:30 and it wasn't busy so thought we'd get great service. but it becameprettyclear that they are understaffed and not well trained, with no systems in place at all. food was constantly being bought to our table that wasn't ours, and our food went to two other tables each time before it got to us. drink orders were wrong, food was delivered at different times, while mine was left at the pass for 15 minutes(!!) to get cold. my friend was given a fork to eat chowder and as there were no staff to be seen, he ended up eating it with his coffee spoon. one of the chefs had to start delivering the food too and the head chef came out a few times and was obviously annoyed with the whole situation.we were forgiving and wereprettyunderstandable as they haven't been open that long, but the food wasn't that great. i wouldn't recommend it unfortunately, at least give them a few more weeks to settle in.
