    This is the kind of restaurant we need more of in Sydney. Definitely the "neighbourhood gem" category. There's real skill in the kitchen and they're turning out really well executed and presented quality plates of simply tasty food. It's not made for your instagram - it's made for your mouth and tummy! Service is super friendly and efficient. You know you're in a good place when the waitress says "no, don't order that extra bread- you already get bread with the dish you ordered"!!!
