Dining here was amazing!! So once to have local jazz and delicious food offered locally. It is usually something I travel into the city CBD for but look no further! The staff were so proactive in helping and serving, not the mention the food was delicious. I really hope they keep the Sunday night jazz and cocktail deal as it was definitely a seller for making me a repeat customer.

Lunas is always a lovely experience for the whole family. Service is attentive and friendly whilst being discreet. Food is delicious and despite suggested etiquette - there is nothing left on the plates. Whether sitting inside or outside - its's always a wonderful experience. Relaxed and special at the same time.

We experienced the Chef’s menu paired with an all evening happy hour. Every bite of food we had was delicious and the braised lamb was one of the best I’ve ever had, falling apart at the bone. Even though the dishes are served “to share”, the portions were surprisingly big and incredibly filling. Service was outstanding the whole evening. What a wonderful little gem of a place, I look forward to returning soon!

The club has changed the menu again and it’s very limited with not a lot of great choices. Many favourites have disappeared which is disappointing. Trying to push you into new dining venues which are expensive. Bring back the classics!
