    We were a large group., attended on sat night. The view great, easy parking. Service was average, our server, I didnt smile at all, not once. It appeared she was the only server in the place so I guess that could be why. Trying to get anyone's attention to order drinks was HARD. there was 1 bar tender all night, so long wait for drinks. The majority of the food was good, the vogouli was delicious, the lasagna terrible. for the price tag the servings were small. Also advertised live music, no live music. Can't say I'm in a rush to go there again.

We enjoyed every single meal and drink, this place had us talking about it for the next few hours. If your drink is empty the kind staff offer another one within seconds. Thank you for a very lovely night and thank you to the amazing staff ❤️❤️

    Had dinner here with a friend Friday night. I have been wanting to dine here for some time. It did not disappoint. It's not a huge area but the views are amazing and the atmosphere was great. On a warm summers day/night sitting outside on the balcony would be amazing. There was a live band (duet) which were fantastic. Really enjoyed the dinner/food and will definitely be back! Parked in Westfield's across the road and entry is through the Travelodge. Had always wondered about the access but it was super easy!

    Always fabulous food and terrific service. This place with the sky high views is an undiscovered gem. AND they dont kick you out after 2 hours if you opt for early service ie 6:30. Turn over is not their main concern. Its a neighbourhood gem that you can always rely on.
