First time visiting and will be back again. Food is delicious, staff friendly and nice atmosphere. Just a bit cold sitting near the door in the cold Melbourne weather. Also need to be mindful of car parking limitations on the street. Otherwise, fantastic experience for our (4 people) group catchup.
