Wonderful and friendly staff, so welcoming of any and all patrons. There’s an indoor playground with a slide and ball pit for kiddies, and a beautiful modern, bright interior. And the food is DELICIOUS. Thank you!

Great food and staff members! Place was a little empty feeling and quiet, and the food portions were on the smaller side but great place to stop in Young!

Was there on a sunday. Stayed for about 7 hours. Staff was great, very nice. Food was very nice as well (had the chicken schnitzel and it was very juicy and tender, probs to the kitchen staff). Also had some coffee, and being a Barista from Melbourne myself, I can tell you this was some great coffee! Definitly would recommend this place and would come back again :) Thanks for the hospitality

Food is always great, staff are exceptional and we all show the kids area. Only down side is the menu changes on every visit. Once I love something and go back for it, it's gone and I ordered a Wagu steak and it was chewy. I also ordered mash potato and was told they're out of mash powder mix. However, they did as much as possible to help find an alternative that wasn't deep fried. The rice was an ok alternative. I love their gravies and sauces. I hope or next visit is a bit better than our last, but is never been a bad time there. I do recommend you try the place. There is a separate area for people with kids who want to pay and another quieter area for everyone else.
