    Our group of 13 had an outstanding night. We had a Spanish guest of honour join us and he was blown away with the genuine Spanish menu and quality of the cuisine. An added bonus was his conversation with the owner and staff who spoke fluent Spanish. Our group also had diverse dietary requirements from vegetarian to gluten free. Nothing was a problem for the venue and they provided a number of options to make sure all enjoyed a quality meal. Highly recommend this venue as one the best dining experiences in Ballarat (and beyond).

    5 stars all around! I'm a returning customer who had an average experience my first time, but I was blown away this visit! I had the banquet again, and I felt that the value for money was really there this time. The food was delicious, drinks amazing, and service was spot on. Thank you!

    I found it hard to read the menu on the yellow paper and felt there wasn't enough light to read it. But loved the food and the service.
