We came here to celebrate our anniversary, even though it's not the most romantic place, but the atmosphere was convivial and casual, which suited us just fine. We were quite early as they only gave us a 6pm seating, I guess they must be full for the rest of the evening. The long bar tables with individual draft beer is a good idea for 1) Rugby Sevens, 2) bachelor party, 3) a problem drinking drowning out his/her sorrows. The outdoor seating was spacious (though perhaps too early for the crowd),
The menu was nicely bound in leather, they had a decent wine list (about 9 or 10 of red/white each that can be ordered by the glass), lots of craft beer, liquor and some non-alcoholic selection. The food menu was sufficiently varied without overwhelming the mind, though everything sounded good and it was a tough call. We went for the nicoise salad which had a good quantity of seared tuna and fresh greens. The mini beef wellingtons were cute, but I prefer a slice from the original thing because there's more beef to pastry ratio. The tenderloin made up for my meat crave, and it was super good quality, grass-fed, tender, juicy, succulent, seasoned and cooked perfectly to my request. It also came with three delightful mayo and pickles. The bangers and mash was a hearty no-frills pleaser.
Service was prompt without being intrusive, staff were up to par for a recently opened restaurant. Overall, very good, better value than their cousin Wooloomooloo, and a much more New York style funky hip decor. Already made reservations for our next meal, and no, not the next anniversary, can't wait that long!
