The service was fantastic and couldn't be faulted. Dining after the menu change was interesting, a couple of hits but some serious misses such as the Pork Belly, the new style is a failure. That being said, I'll definitely be back again.

Setting was nice but you pay for it. 2 x beers $26.50. Had to ask twice re price. 

Business response:

Hi Brett, Thank you for taking the time to review our establishment, I am terribly sorry that our prices did not meet your expectations, unfortunately for public holidays we have to charge a 10% public holiday surcharge on all products so that we can open our doors. I will bring you review to the attentions of the managers to discuss this issue further. Many thanks Sam

Terrible customer service from management! Ask about the 2 cocktails for $20 as stated on the menu & was rudely told they don't do it on public holidays which was not stated on the menu. When in the middle of discussing with staff the manager just turned & walked away without a word. Extremely rude & disrespectful! Definitely won't be going back!

Waited 30mins for a platter and eggplant chips. Only to be told it would be another 20min. People who had ordered after us has their meals. The waitress would not admit they forgot to put our order in.

Love the fresh brew. Fantastic joint. Been there twice within 4 days, having an event at the convention centre. Would have gone in all 4 days if found this place earlier.
