The food here, whether day or night, is outstanding. Chris and the team have done an excellent job of creating such a great little venue with a unique atmosphere and culinary offering. I am glad I have started to visit this business and will be intending to return on a regular basis.

While underwhelming from the street - in fact you might not even know it was there - the club has a layout slightly different to what is usually seen in a sports club or RSL. I enjoyed my lunch in an area set up with very comfortable lounge chairs more like an airline lounge. The music was quiet enough that we could have a conversation without needing to raise our voices.
