Had a wonderful Saturday lunch and couldnโt have imagined another place weโd rather be. The dishes, namely that of the Moreton Bay Bug pasta was on point and service was lighthearted, attentive and friendly. Thank you so much for making every meal Iโve ever had here special. Until next time โค๏ธ

Dine in the beautifully restored heritage building, the interior (colour palette) is so aesthetic and stunning! MUST TRY bay bug pasta & duck breast. Bay bug pasta is cooked to perfection with a wonderful texture in the pasta and duck breast is crispy on the skin and juicy inside glazed in cherry jus. The dessert spread is impressive and creative. Golden syrup dumplings with rum, raisin and malt cream are delicate and decadent, the golden syrup has a rich brown sugar flavour that's strong but not overpowering and the rum is perfectly balanced as well. The service is so attentive. I booked this for a birthday celebration and they even texted me a day in advance to see if I wanted to order any desserts ahead so they could prepare. Little touches like this make the experience feel truly special.
Amazing experience, we celebrated a birthday. Service was excellent, food was delicious, the place is simple yet beautiful decorated! I would totally recommend this place.
The food goes without saying โ every dish was beautifully executed, balanced, and memorable. What truly stood out, however, was the attention to the smallest details. From the presentation and pacing to the subtle flavours and thoughtful service touches, everything felt intentional and refined. Itโs rare to find a restaurant where both the cuisine and the overall experience are handled with such care. A place that clearly values craftsmanship, precision, and guest experience. Highly recommended.
Love the venue. Cute & relaxing venue for dinning. The food for me is on the smaller size than i expected but nevertheless, itโs delicious. I totally love the Moreton Bay Bug pasta, Carrot Soufflรฉ and Roast Duck. The Egg sandwich and Brioche also a must to try for starter. Desserts are kinda hit or missed. I like the golden syrup dumpling, but not sure with the chocolate ganache. I feel like the ginger ice cream is a bit too much for me. I understand that the ginger balancing the rich chocolate ganache, however at some point i feel like the ginger in the ice cream is too strong. Overall, iโm happy with the whole dinner experience. Surely will come back.
