The staff are friendly and efficient. The schnitzel pizza and burger were absolutely delicious. The sides weren’t as good. The veges were soggy and overly sweet. The chips were a bit under cooked and just not amazing, the mushroom gravy wasn’t great. It spoilt the delicious fresh crispy schnitzel. We will go back for the mains though, they were excellent. Hopefully they can change some practices with the sides to make them 5/5 as well. Good pub meal. Worth it.

We had an amazing night for their soft launch at Uptown Vibes! It was my dad's birthday, and we enjoyed the food, service, and the staff's birthday song at the end. Thank you to Uptown Vibes for having us!

Food was tasty (although they had “run out” of the type of pasta shown in menu at only 12.30 pm). Ambience is good and availability of buying wine at the bottle shop is great.
