What People Say

Guests rave about the upbeat atmosphere, with many calling it a “hidden gem” for live entertainment. The food scores high marks for flavour and presentation, with dishes like slow-cooked lamb and fresh seafood standing out. Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable frequently highlight the live band performances as a major draw, and many note that the venue is perfect for birthdays, pre-concert meals, or a spontaneous night out. The balance of quality food and live music makes it a favourite among locals and visitors alike.

Areas for Improvement

On busy nights, it can get a bit noisy – not ideal if you’re after a quiet, intimate chat. Some guests have mentioned the food service can feel slightly rushed when the house is full, especially on weekends. And while the live music is a major perk, it might not suit those preferring a more laid-back dining experience.
