Went as a large group and everything was pretty on point. Decent service, great food. They could do with some more interesting beers and a few natural wines. Disappointed the one menu item I was excited for wasn't available. I assume seasonal availability had something to do with it. Overall, I'd go back.

We loved everything about this dining experience. The setting is a small converted timber church with a soaring ceiling, pine floor, starched white table cloths and simple bentwood chairs. Food is perfectly balanced and creative. Stand out for us was the pickled fennel fritters and the mud crab omelette. The food was quite rich, a more French style and for 2 of us we opted for 6 smaller dishes and desserts and didn’t have a main. Extremely happy with this choice. The drinks are interesting, natural, earthy choices rather than more classic wines, but were delicious.
