Nice to see the menu have a few changes, a couple of nice new additions. The calamari was lovely and well received. Service excellent and friendly. A bit noisy with several Christmas work celebrations but ambience always good. Good to have the GF options.

We had the parmo for dinner and I must say for $25 it was worth every cent. The parmo was fresh and the cheese top was yum. Chip's were crunchy and thick. The side salad was delicious also. Every thing was hot and fresh. Will be going back for Thursday night special.
