I've been to this restaurant twice now and it has beautiful and flowing decor that makes it a popular choice from the street.

The food is modern European style and there is something on the menu for everyone - the chicken schnitzel was a stand out! The food is good without being great but unfortunately both times the restaurant was understaffed making it difficult to catch someone's attention and a lengthy wait for drinks and food
We had been to this restaurant a few years ago, we returned to give it another go. And wow, what a transformation, the restaurant has been revamped from dull and dark and quite closed off atmosphere to a vibrant, bright and open. With a clean rustic look, also keeping to the Eastern European theme with some bright white and orange tiling. The waiters were in a trendy uniform; shirt, bow tie and apron which made them easy to spot and quite a 'kitsch' look.

Recently revamped with a stronger Eastern European influence on the menu, introducing lots of new dishes including a few varieties of pierogi dumplings (YUM).

Would be good for a special occasion or function.
First time trying european food and may i say i want more! The food here are simple but tasty well worth the money. Located close to pott point and across from Luke Nguyen "Red lantern" haha my cousin will kill me .....
Love the variety and gluten free friendly, chef and staff are lovely and friendly. Shout out to Chef Fernado!!!! All the desserts were amazing especially the donut. I loved the cauliflower dish so make sure you get it!!!

These guys recently had a relaunch. The new space looks great - really open and the live music is great! They have such a great range of infused Vodkas here which is amazing and you can even do a Vodka high tea!
Food was a little disappointing, but still think this place is great for drinks!
