    An atmospheric setting complete with live entertainment and skyline outlooks makes the venue a prime choice for birthdays, Valentine's Day, and romantic evenings.

  • Effortless Group & Mid-Week Dining

    Spacious indoor and balcony areas paired with shared woodfire pizzas, pastas, and cocktails create an effortless environment for friend get-togethers and lunch catchups.

    Really great atmosphere including a balcony area where you can sit and relax with a drink or two. We had a wonderful day.

Signature mains and woodfired favorites praised by local diners

  • Pan-fried Barramundi

    the pan-fried barramundi was so incredibly delicious, I almost forgot my manners and licked the plate clean!

  • Prawn & Avocado Salad

    I ordered the garlic pizza and the prawn & avocado salad, and both were delicious. The flavours were fresh, light, and exactly what i were hoping for.

  • Orecchiette Alfredo Pasta

    the Orecchiette Alfredo Pasta was probably the group's favourite dish - crispy pork crackles, perfectly cooked pork belly and al dente pasta, all with an amazing creamy sauce bringing it together.

  • Mango Colada

    We enjoyed a few cocktails (Mango Colada and Pink Lavender) and nibbles (spiced nuts and cheese) outside on the lounges, and it was such a lovely space to spend an hour or two mid-week.
