From the moment we entered "Neptune's Grotto" I knew we were in for a splendid evening. And we weren't disappointed. I am a big fan of a short Menu where you want to try everything on offer. And this is exactly what was displayed. The food was superb and the extensive Wine List was deletable. Heavily leaning on Italian Wines -and rightly so - there was something for every price range. The food was superb, the décor romantic and the whole experience made me sad we had to leave. But we will be returning.

A great neighbourhood little restaurant was lovely aesthetics. Clean and very friendly service. They do a daily special including a happy hour so went on a Monday when it is BYOB during a week holiday in Sydney. The food and drinks were both very good. I would highly. recommend the French onion dip and salt and vinegar chips.

Takam really knows how to meld together traditional Filipino dishes, then balance out the richness to make it more refined. Murray salt flakes here. Sesame leaf wrap there. My grown up palate appreciated the work of these master cooks, while my childhood memories came flooding back!
