Heard very good things about this restaurant and bar. They have a rooftop bar here. We came here for our Christmas lunch. We paid $210 each. We pre-booked a four course meal with drinks included. We got two starters, main and dessert. The starters were seafood which is Australia delicacy and traditional for their Christmas dinner. The main was a Sunday roast traditional English Christmas dinner and dessert was a yogurt. You got a new drink per course. Overall very good food. You got festive glasses and party crackers. I think the staff were very overwhelmed. They had clearly over booked the venue. They booked a new table each half an hour. There was queues out the door. They began to come over and ask us to finish early. There was a hidden surcharge of 15% which was okay on Christmas Day but would have liked to know in advance. Manager spoke to us fairly aggressively by the end. When we asked for extra gravy for the roast they said they wasn’t sure if they could accommodate which is what we paid for. I felt sorry for the staff, it wasn’t their fault the venue had been overbooked.

The steak was cooked beautifully, and the pepper sauce was superb. The salad, however, could have been more tender, or perhaps it could be omitted altogether. Both the waiter and the waitress were excellent. The waitress proactively asked for feedback and even kindly recommended the burger night happening tomorrow, which was a nice touch. The only area for improvement would be the atmosphere. There was just one outdoor table available, and it was unfortunately blocked by two large dogs from the neighbouring table. Inside, the décor is well done, but despite the venue not being full, the noise level made conversation difficult.

Amazing food! amazing atmosphere! amazing vibes! we had natalie take care of us and she is a superstar! my friend and I had the best night and it was 100% because of her. friendly, attentive, and she made the whole experience fun! we’ll definitely be back!!!

They use a fire to cook, this is my favourite touch. Beautiful restaurant, lovely atmosphere. Perfect choice of tap beers and the wines looked nice aswell. Only critic was the steak was very tough. It had lively flavour though from the flame, and was very happy with the Wednesday 26$ steak deal price. I hope it was a one time off, I will be back to try again and hopefully upgrade the review to 5 stars!

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm and welcoming. The service? Spot on. The drinks? Crafted to perfection. But the food… Mobit Gurung, your food is more than just ingredients on a plate — it’s heartfelt, comforting, and unforgettable. Truly next-level. 5 ⭐️
