★★★★★“Loved this place🩷 very cool vibes🔥🔥 They do Trivia on Mondays from 7pm and the prize is $200 cash pretty good hey. I had a lot of fun tonight! I also had a nice oyster with a beautiful glass of white wine (Sav Blanc) from Adelaide Hills🩷 and I tried a special on the menu! The best!!! Is called Salumi Pasta🩷via super tasty, creamy and colourful! The sauce is supper yummy and eveything🩷 the portion is very good as well. And also the music in the venue is very cool!! Nice spot to come by yourself or friends or someone you want to hang around. They are very friendly and I had a good time here🫶”

★★★★★“Great food, drinks and service. We stopped in on a quieter Sunday afternoon and were well looked after by Tom and his colleagues. Oysters were huge (for Sydney rock) and delicious, the anchovies 🤌 and chicken wings also excellent. Washed down with a cold beer and wine. The bar has a good vibe, good tunes and comfy seating. Will be back!”

★★★★★“A relaxing weekend lunch, friendly host, prompt service and a really interesting menu. Creole, seafood, a touch of French, burgers & tins. Fish tacos, 2 per serve at $25. Messy yummy eating, as tortilla crumbled. Calamari very soft to the bite. Southern Fried Chicken Tenders, crunchy well seasoned chicken that had moved into the dry category. Footpath dining & open front restaurant is great for enjoying summer weather.”

★★★☆☆“Had the southern fried onion rings as one of our 2 dishes. They were swimming in oil. At least 4mm of oil deep in the bottom of the basket when they were served to us still hot. The oil got deeper in the basket as the onion rings sat. We left them due to the amount of grease. The bar seems good so its a shame the food is not really edible.”
