Before you head over
Practical advice on bar ordering, parking, and group arrangements for a smooth visit.
Order Bar Drinks Early
While you order food up at the bar and dishes are brought out together, bar drinks service can experience occasional lulls during busy periods. Order drinks right away when you arrive to stay refreshed without a wait.
Set Up a Group Bar Tab
For group bookings and celebrations, setting up a running bar tab makes ordering simple across large parties, though opting for standard tables over deep booth seating makes getting up to order much easier.
Check Street and Precinct Parking
If driving, convenient parking is available within the local shopping precinct building, alongside unrestricted street parking options in the surrounding neighbourhood on Sundays.
