"5 of us came for our first time to this restaurant. We booked it in advance for a Birthday dinner on a Friday night. When we walked into the restaurant, we fell in love immediately with the place. The dim lights, the indoor plants, the organised chaos seating area and the materials they use. It's like we walked in to our family's home. The waiter took us to our table which apparently the best seat in the house. The restaurant got a lot of character in term of how they design the interior. Very warm, homey and so comfortable,you feel like you want to enjoy every minute of your time there. Ashleigh was excellent, she was incharged to look after our table. We informed her what we want, and she recommended us which one to order. Since it' Friday night, we thought it will take a while for the food to arrive, but that was not the case. The food arrived considerably quick. And they all are fantastic. We had chicken, we had fish, beef, pasta, salad and chips. With those first experience,.are happy to give the 5 stars rating for service, food and atmosphere. Thank you for the pleasent experience, and will definitely see you next time we come to this country."

Serves good Colombia coffee too, included in high tea set. Recommended!"
"I first visited this restaurant and absolutely loved the Glazed Charred Zest Chicken. Served in a cast iron pan with chargrilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, and a lemon, honey mustard, honey, thyme, and rosemary glaze, it reminded me of the hearty Mediterranean-style meals I had in Europe. It was one of the best chicken dishes I’ve had balanced, satisfying, and full of flavour. On my second visit, I found it had been replaced by the Charred Lemon Chicken. Not only had the price increased slightly, but the dish itself was a huge downgrade. The roasted vegetables and potatoes were replaced with a small heirloom tomato salad. Although the chicken was still decent, the meal no longer felt filling or worth the higher price. I left very disappointed. I returned a third time hoping there might be some flexibility. I politely asked if the tomato salad could be replaced with a carbohydrate side instead. The staff kindly checked with the kitchen but came back and said no. I understand they have policies to follow, but it was still disappointing as I had specifically returned hoping to enjoy something closer to the original dish. I understand menus evolve, but replacing such a memorable and satisfying dish with a smaller, less substantial version, while increasing the price, was disappointing. I sincerely hope the original Glazed Charred Zest Chicken makes a comeback."
"The moment u enter, u will be captivated by the welcoming and rustic industrial country interior. Instagram able every corner, I have not taken many pics so you can go and explore more yourself. Food are good, no complain on that. Won’t be disappointed. I haven’t tried other mains so will go back next time to tryout. Service wise, well, need lots of improvement. Waitress rather rude, maybe she is new or not well trained. I was in a good mood so no fuss about it but, it will really put ppl off easily if she keeps attending to customer like that. Very unprofessional, in terms of serving, answering questions and overall behaviour I will not want to experience ever again if I go there."
"The atmosphere here is really nice, and the kitchen absolutely killed it—every single dish we ordered was delicious. The Truffle Mushroom Risotto, Prawn and Olive Spaghetti, and Flaming Lamb Diablo were packed with flavor. The Pan Seared Red Snapper and Duck Confit were cooked to perfection, and even the Roasted Cauliflower was a standout side. Unfortunately, the service was a bit below standard and dragged the experience down a little."
