Tremendous dining experience, the flavour palate was so diverse and refined, everything was beautiful but funly enough among such a high standard of spread the biggest stand out was arguably the pandasal and coconut butter, potentially the best tasting perfectly structured savoury bread Ive ever had, slightly crunchy crust but not tough to bite, super soft warm inside that melts in your mouth with a surprisingly sweet butter that pairs so well, wish we ordered more to make inasal or kaldereta and pickled veggie sangas. The calamansi fizz was so refreshing, we all absolutely loved it. The staff were all so charming and willing to appease a few minor requests without a question and always with a nice smile. My only real complaint was the chairs were so uncomfortable for long periods of stay, walked out with a slight pinch in my back for a few hours until I could get my physio wife to give me a good stretch but otherwise its a 10/10 visit

Our third or fourth time here and it’s always a satisfying experience. Great varied choices for all tastes. Good time was had by all. Portion sizes generously satisfying.

Friends and I went for Wednesday steak night as we had heard it was one of the best in Melbourne. We all ordered the steak for $30.00. It was cooked to perfection, the pepper sauce was delicious. We would have preferred the potato gratin to be a little creamier and salad to consist of more than rocket but overall it was great. We will definitely be returning.

We've eaten there before and it was really great. This time the service was excellent but the Sunday Roast was a little disappointing (especially the gravy). The rarebit crumpet remains exceptional, and was a highlight.
