Handy in the CBD for a pre-theatre lunch: people mention casual bar seating in a warm, lively room, with staff who are friendly and quick when needed but not hovering.

A good Carlton pick for a lively weekend meal: reviews describe a packed Sunday service, a front bar with an open fire, and warm, welcoming staff.

Fits a date or small group when you want a designed, intimate room: reviews point to a moody space with booth seating, plus friendly, attentive staff. One review notes a door draft, so seat choice can matter.
