Being in the heart of Potts Point, we leave half of our tables unreserved for walk ins so we can feed anyone who comes by to see us. At busy times there may be a wait for a table but we’ll always do our best to make it as short as possible. Just leave your name and number, then kick your evening off with a sharpener at one of our local favourites and we’ll text you when your table is ready. We know that sometimes a booking is important so we do take online reservations as set out below.
We are open for service 7 days a week from midday until late and don’t close our kitchen between lunch and dinner, so you can snag a table any time.
Up to half of the tables in the restaurant are reservable online for parties of any size at any time, lunch and dinner.
Please check above for availability, and feel free to email us for larger group enquires or for bookings that require special attention.
Please note, unless otherwise agreed, we allow the following times for all tables:
Tables of two – 2 hours;
Tables of three or four – 2 ½ hours;
Tables of five or more – 3 hours.
If you require more time at your table please send an email to [email protected] and we’ll always do our best to accomodate.
To ensure you relish your experience with us, tables of eight or more are asked to enjoy a shared menu experience. You can view our selection of shared menus for the table here. With notice, we can cater for most dietary requirements. After making a booking online these can be requested via email at [email protected]
In addition, for all parties of 10 or more we include a 10% service charge, all of which is shared amongst the kitchen and floor staff. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or are in need of assistance with your reservation on [email protected]
