Dined in on a Tuesday night so was not overly busy. We sat outside which was nice. It was cool but one of the outdoor heaters was on which made it very comfortable. All the staff we encountered on the night were professional and friendly. Food was a little slow to come out but we were in no hurry and were enjoying our drinks in the meantime. Garlic bread came out nice and hot - generous sized pieces x 4. It was delicious. Just the right amount of garlic! Mains - We ordered Involtini Di Pollo which was rolled chicken breast stuffed with prosciutto, spinach and ricotta. Omg so divine. perfectly white, perfectly cooked moist chicken. The mustard sauce was delicious and they did not skimp on the pine nuts! Was served with broccolini instead of string beans as stated on menu but I didn't mind the switch at all (there was no mention that it was going to be changed, it just came out like that). Good sized portion. Second main we ordered was Scalopinni Boscaiola - also a delicious main. The sauce was rich and full of flavour and the meat was tender and a generous sized serve. Side salad also ordered (I dont think it was on the menu - we just asked for it) which was very fresh and needed to balance the meal a little. Only critisism of the mains was that they were not hot - just warm. Not a bad drinks menu either and some great beers on tap. Will go back again as the flavours and quality of produce were fantastic, service was great and there are other dishes on the menu we want to try!

Price (2-3/5) Slightly on the more expensive side. But of course there are cheaper options, such as burgers which are around 20+, while the more expensive options are 40++. So depending on the choice of food, the price rating vary greatly. Taste (5/5) The taste the undeniably one of the best I have eaten for the price range. The burgers was juicy and the ribeye steak was fantastic. Well cooked to requirement and the flavour is great. The oysters on the other hand is not as great as it’s not very fresh. But the main course is good enough to get a 5. Service (3/5) The service was hospitable and waiters was friendly. Helped to refill water on many occasions and was attentive. One thing that caused it to get a 3 was due to how long the food takes to come. We waited for close to an hour for our food for 5. Atmosphere (4/5) Cozy place and clean. Though the area is slightly packed with tables. Overall (4/5) Overall it is a 4 due to the duration of the food served but if the food comes quicker, this definitely gets a 5. Food is great. Recommended.

made a booking for 6 for my family to come here on a Sunday afternoon and good thing we did coz it was packed!! every dish was stunning with great flavour, I'm so keen to come back to try the cocktails they sound amazing!! I'm seeing other reviews say the service was not great but that was not my experience, the service and waiting times were perfectly good in my opinion even on a busy Sunday! edit: went back with friends to try the cocktails, the Nutella one was yummmm!! really loved the steak as well. booked here with fam on the Easter weekend and man it was packed we had to wait over an hour for our food, they were bring everyone complimentary bread to compensate for the wait. the steak was not as good as last time sadly as it wasn't as soft, but the standout dish was the chilli mussels!!! absolutely AMAZING sauce to dip the garlic bread in!! fam also enjoyed their meals.

I wouldn't recommend. I will start off with the good, the service started off really good and quick, got seated and straight away our drink order was taken, #pumpkingnocchi was so delicious considering I don't normally like Gorgonzola sauce, was extremely impressed, and my husband enjoyed his Surf and Turf, the #garlicbread bread was pretty good but just a bit on the salty side. Now the bad, the service was absolutely atrocious, basically sat and forgotten about yet every other table was getting service like no tomorrow. When the garlic bread came out 20 minutes later we still hadn't received our drink order, another 20 minutes had passed still no drinks so I asked the waiter passing by and he doubled check, our drinks order hadn't been placed, he was very apologetic and put it through which was great but I'm definitely not impressed.

Overall experience was lovely. My partner had the Fremantle Octopus for a starter, just a warning that you pay $18 for one tentacle and a few slices of chorizo. Was a bit tasteless. Had the Chilli Mussels for my meal and it was delicious however I would recommend you go next door to San Drinos instead as they’re cheaper and it’s much tastier. Also got garlic bread to dip in the sauce but the sauce is so wet, oily and flavourless compared to San Drinos thicker sauce. The garlic bread was still fabulous on its own. My partner also had the chicken parmigiana which he said was yummy! We had the macadamia nut brownie for dessert and oh my goodness it was divine. The service was ok. I would recommend you take your time and money to San Drinos instead but it was still a lovely evening!

There are a number of places to choose from along the cappuccino strip. Most of them were full so if you are wanting to dine in this area I strongly suggest making a reservation. We were fortunate enough to get a table at Benny’s for breakfast. The maple bacon was very interesting. The taste was complimentary with the halloumi but probably not so much with the pulled pork Benedict. Big breakfast went down a treat. Wait staff were very attentive and friendly. All service is table service which made a nice change from the QR codes. Bathroom was clean and tidy. Overall great experience and will definitely return.
