I've dined here twice in the past month and will continue to return. I've been for breakfast and lunch. The service is very friendly. The place is very easy going and relaxing. When you dine here, you feel so welcome and at home. It's awesome. Pricing is very fair, and portions are more than enough. If you are looking for a place suited to couples, friends catching up, drinking wine, cocktails, coffee, breakfast or lunch, this is your place. Oh and I think they are open in the evenings on weekends. I must come back for this. They have gluten free options. They have really good quality wines from Tasmania listed here like stargazer and Chatto. Also, the wine is at amazing prices! Christina, the owner, is from Tasmania, moved here 8 months ago and started this place 2 months ago. Watch this space! From the sounds of it, we will be seeing plenty of exciting things to look forward to here! I definitely recommend popping in! Oh and there is a back room which they plan to use for functions and events. I will be planning a NNT wine club night here.
