Incredibly food, memorable service - just an all round winner. If you're not sure what to get just ask your waiter and take their recommendation. But everything is great! Pic = miso butter scallops

Thomas M

Grilled scallop , blew my mind, the skin-contact white wine by architects of wine was out there weird and delicious. Cuttlefish special was incredible. A really great place.

Rami Ismail

Strong atmosphere, solid food and good service . Definitely good for a small group dinner or a date, but also worth visiting simply because you want to have a good meal.

Tim Jessup

The mushroom and fig is delicious, as is the angus steak . Ordered 5 dishes for 3 people, and the amount was perfect. Great beer list also.

Patryc

Great all round! The dark chocolate , pear , coffee almond meringue , amaretti is bloody delicious!!

Sebastian

Lovely modern fitout with lots of cute design details. Fancy cocktails and snacks ? Why shouldn't Newtown have this? Service is great. Trifle is amazing. But get there early for a seat.

Kunal Mirchandani

They don't take bookings , so prepare for lengthy waits of up to 90 minutes for a table (esp on weekends). Arrive early, then head across the road to Earl's Juke Joint for drinks while waiting.

Marianne N

Hate the wait, but the food is good. Loved the pork , polenta chips & the crab & asparagus dishes. The chicken had an unappetising grey sludge sauce - avoid!

Vicky Machinan

Book a table outside and enjoy their set menu

Alistair Erskine

This is the best place. Amazing wine , cocktails , and food

Giles Birch

Great to see use of heirloom vegetables . Shame the food is just okay. Pork was chewy and so was the scallops . Great service thou!!!

Elif Durur

Good selection of drinks, if your looking for something filling or standard their menu isnt for you, if you are up for trying something a little different give this place a go.

Sarah Casey

Great service along with fantastic food, craft beers and wine every single time. Polenta chips are a must.

Peter Mcgee

Prefer to go in a group of three or more to get the variety of sharing plates.

Jenny L

Get in early for a table. Didn't love the smaller dishes as much as the mains - Great fish special and the lamb is delicious! Bloodwood trifle for dessert .

Cindy Donadel

The socca is always a great option, and can highly recommend the miso cuttlefish !!

Madeleine Burke

Favourite restaurant in Sydney. The hombrae chicken and pork and prawn are amazing!

Lyn

Had the dessert selection for dessert - enough to share for 4!

Valerie Cossio

Polenta fries and crispy rice balls . Oh. Em. Gee. To DIE for.

Brett Lider

One of the best places for cocktails and New Australian cuisine in Newtown.

Daniel Aron

Echo the polenta chips being awesome, the salmon wrapped in vine leaves and pastry was also stand out. Kudos for the service.

Celia Wright

Croquettes are amazing! Better than the polenta chips ... But they're still good too.

Oz

Polenta chips are a must

Barramundi is amazing

Try the meaty fried bean curd skin roll (contains pork , crab and shitake mushroom ). It's "god's gift to beer drinkers"

Katie

The beetroot and walnut tart isn't that great but the polenta and gorgonzola chips are a winner!

Reg L

For a bit of everything, the degustation is fairly reasonable for price and portions.
