Lunch with a girlfriend in mid-November. To be honest we chose it because it's in The Entertainment Book and they have some on-site parking.
This venue has changed hands over the last few years and I can't wait to see what the new owners do with it.
We had pork belly burger and dukkah calamari. The only thing missing was crispy skin on the pork. The serves were generous as was the service!
There are many dining options - a choice between two indoor spaces or al fresco.
We enjoyed a nice wine with our meal and could have chosen treats from the dessert cabinet.
Will be back!

Just popped in for a coffee after lunch..
Never been before and was charmed by the decor and the general 'buzz'. Outdoor and indoor tables are available.
If it's only coffee you want then I would not recommend them. The milk was perfect but very little experience of a roasted bean.
I'll be back to make a fairer assessment of their offerings.
There seemed to be many meals heading to eager patrons.

Lovely, friendly cafe experience. Be prepared to share available tables and be aware there is seating around the window and tables outside.
Service is brilliant and friendly although it's sometimes difficult for them to negotiate around the tight spaces.
The decor is basic yet funky and the space has a great vibe.
Coffee is great and they do some very cool teas
It's very difficult to make a choice from the menu and I need many more visits to offer a comprehensive evaluation, but I've yet to be disappointed.
I can also comment on the duck crepe ...loved it!

What a little gem! Simple, unpretentious and memorable. We stumbled upon it by chance on a visit from Hobart and later discovered it was relatively new to the area.
The food was inexpensive, generous serves and authentic flavours. Be prepared for genuine heat (I don't know if they "dumb it down" on request but we were happy).
I would go back in a heart-beat for the omelet - chicken or pork served with rice and chili sauce!
Service was tentative but friendly and the unsophisticated small space was clean.
I always appreciate an open kitchen and was very impressed with the cleanliness of the space and the immaculate presentation of the chefs - always a good sign!
Highly recommend!
Highly recommended!
