A definite must-go-back-to spot We went as a group for a cocktail but ended up staying for hours, enjoying Lucky’s (the mixologist) fabulous cocktails. I had the Sidecar, cognac & blackberries and a Grenadilla Mojito (double-yum) . The tapas were divine! Each dish served with nice thick-cut chips that we munched on long after it got cold. Steamed buns with salmon / mince filling served with a variety of sauces. Sticky BBQ ribs to die for, juicy and meaty, with just the right balance of sweet & smoky. Panko-fried prawns and calamari were expertly done. And the zinger-wing style chicken wings (without the sting of the zinger wings) were scrumptious. Service was outstanding. The decor & ambience is “cigar lounge”, comfortable leather tub chairs and couches. Live music on Thursdays & Fridays What’s not to love about this place?g

I had an amazing experience! The breakfast spread was incredible, offering a wide variety of food choices. I found the food to be excellent value for money, and the service was truly top-notch. What stood out was how amazing and friendly the staff were; they were always available to assist. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Another highlight for me was the fantastic selection of freshly squeezed vegetable juices and smoothies."
