What people say
Food was amazing! Had calamari to start & the pork belly for main. Meat was really tender and nicely cooked. The service was also great with both the girls who served us being really attentive. Would definitely recommend!
Quite good value for nice food, great service. We had a main and a drink for total of $50 each. Salmon was cooked perfectly and pork belly was good (with gravy as the adobo chilli sauce just seemed a wrong match).
Food was absolutely disgusting and I got sick from it. Ordered the vodka pasta and it was just extremely overcooked pasta drenched in oil with tinned diced tomatoes and about 5 tiny dried specks of chicken. My friend misread a menu item thinking it was pork belly bites. When she ordered it, the waitress didn’t correct my friend and/or check if my friend knew exactly what she was ordering. I know that isn’t completely on the waitress, but it is good service to just simply say “now that is actually marinated pork belly just to be clear”. Partner was served essentially a raw steak. The only saving grace for this place is whoever is controlling the music today, they have great taste.
This place was exactly what we needed after a long trek! Located conveniently close to Katoomba Station, this restaurant delivered an excellent dining experience with a fantastic menu. From the burgers to the fried chicken, everything we ordered was delicious. We enjoyed a couple of beers, some perfectly cooked fried chicken, a satisfying burger, and a tasty schnitzel. The flavors were spot on and truly hit the spot after our hike. The restaurant itself wasn't overly crowded, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were incredibly polite and respectful, and they even happily charged my phone when it was about to die—a huge help! If you appreciate a vintage, rustic vibe, you'll absolutely love the ambiance here. It's a beautiful spot, and I highly recommend it for a great meal and an amazing overall dining experience! ❤️
This place looks closed at first but usually is open till evening. It's mostly a bar with great food options. The food was great, everything was delicious including the chips, we took all the chicken dishes and they were amazing compliments to the chef. The service was fair I would say as we had to ask them for everything and the response was cold. But everything else was great, the atmosphere was quite and ambient and the food was memorable I would say worth the price. Great job.
