Nice outdoor rooftop area, the food is amazing, cocktails even better, even a few good desert options. Pitty they only take bookings for tables of 4 or more and if you have less than 4 its on a walk in basis only which means sometimes you go on a waiting list which means you can wait 30mins-1hour for a table but its a great place for dinner/lunch

The food was ok. It was flavoursome enough yet not outstanding. The portions were tiny especially for the price. This used to be one of my favourite places on the Gold Coast to dine but they have really tightened the reigns on their portions which in turn means you are paying far too much money to leave hungry. The sangrias are amazing though. And as most people seem to mention the table turnover is a bit annoying. As soon as you sit down you are reminded about the time you have the table for. We knew this before booking but it does make you feel under pressure and isn't relaxing. Then at 5 minutes before our allocated time is up we are told that the next people are already here for our table. I understand the need for high table turnover but I really dislike the way they do it. So with tiny portions, average food and the table turnover thing we wont be going back anytime soon.

A bit overpriced because the portion sizes were small but overall the service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious and came out very quickly.

Live band, great music, great service. Friendly with quaint ambience. Tasty corn chips with guacamole, spicy and delicious tortillas. Great meeting place and venue for birthday party.
