what the reviews say ...

"Ascending the grand staircase to the strains of violin and acoustic guitar can transport you back to the 1930s"
|
| - Sydney Eats 2009 |
|
| "There's an intentional whiff of a venerable colonial hotel bar - verdant palms, discreet screens, gilt-edged sofas and high tea on weekends - but the ambience is anything but stuffy" |
| - Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 |
|
| "The vast dining space is packed with comfortable, intimate nooks that ooze charm and sophistication. Relax with an aperitif and persue the modern tapas-style menu...and the casual attitude and service make it great option for smart and sparking gatherings." |
