Food was delicious. Service was pleasant but also awkward and choppy. Our party of 5 went with the Feedme Menu and we were served an uncomforatable amount of food. Number of courses and portion size needs to be edited.

Our first visit and highly impressed. We opted for the 'Feed Me' degustation menu, and the food was wonderful and generous in the servings. The staff were lovely, and very attentive without being obtrusive. We'll be back.

First time visiting but not my last. Such a nice cosy atmosphere and super friendly service. Food was tasty, only thing I would suggest is to consider more vegetarian/vegan options!

The food was delicious and the cocktail we started with was very impressive. The service was friendly but very slow, despite having mentioned that we were on a time frame. We had to get up and ask to have our order taken, our wine poured etc.

Very interesting menu, our favourite being the pork and fish collar. Cocktails were also quite complex, and a great deal on thursday for only $10.

Still a good place and the atmosphere is always inviting. Tuesday BYO is certainly worth a bottle or two of something special. They still have not fixed their answering machine after all these months!

Excellent food and service was great - not pushy or rushing us out the door despite us being the last there. V relaxed but attentive. Waitress got rid of a drunk guy off the street who was bothering our table. The waiter had good banter and offered us umbrellas for the unexpected rain. The feedme menu was great value and tasty. Good funky house runes played too. Great experience, thank you.

An excellent plant-centric menu with global influences, from Italy to Turkey, and the best chicken dish I've had in the city. A lovely casual dining experience.

We had the degustation menu and each dish was superb in taste and presentation. It was Tuesday locals’ night with BYO but we were disappointed with the $15 per bottle corkage - there is no incentive in bringing your own at this price. Staff pleasant but need a little more sophistication in how they manage the table and the needs of the group.

Courteous and attentive service. The charred beetroot dish had a particularly innovative structure with perfectly balanced flavours and textures. The concept of donating profits to charity will hopefully be copied elsewhere. Thank you, forlovenotmoney!

I really wanted to love this restaurant but it was a little bit of a let down if i'm honest. The food i would rate OK but some of it was just confused. Why oh why would you cover a beautiful eggplant in powdered white icing sugar?! We were also a bit perplexed as to why the waitress felt she needed to come every 5 minutes to ask us how everything was. The wine we selected though was A+

Beautiful atmosphere, lovely decor and friendly staff, but sadly the food was pretty disappointing. There are only so many sunflower seeds you can eat in one meal - I wouldn't recommend this for vegetarians or hungry humans.

Had read reviews prior to going and a few commenters said that the service was a bit slow. I feel like the restaurant also had read reviews and improved in this because we were a larger group (8) and the service was impeccable. They were constantly refilling our wine/water glasses, the pace of the food was perfect, and at the end when we realised we had to rush to catch our train they cleared the table as soon as we requested it and brought the cake so we could sing, and then packed it for those that had to leave. The food was amazing, varied dishes and all delicious. Highly recommended!

Had the set menu which was a little bit pricey but well worth it. The food and the cocktails were great, and a good selection of wines. Knowing that the restaurant donates part of their profits makes it all worth while. Great job guys.
