An awesome venue for after-work drinks and nibbles with the team. Staff hospitality was flawless and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely come again!

Ate here for breakfast earlier this year (delicious!) and arranged a corporate xmas event. Izzy the events manager was great to work with & made organising a menu that catered to all dietary restrictions a breeze. Recommend!

Great food and atmosphere. We were here for a ladies Christmas lunch as they have a gorgeous, large outdoor area. The drinks took a while to come out but that was probably because there were so many many of us. Can imagine it would be a cool place for a night out.

So had a Xmas dinner outing with the guys from work and had a few drinks and then had our orders taken for dinner but it took a long time to come out and I was the Last one in the group to get my meal after all the others had finished there meals and I was not very happy with this situation and I spoke with the person who took the order and was told that it was coming and coming and still had to wait until I was over it and then I got a call from the manager that night to apologise for the time that took me to get my meal and she was very apologetic about it and yes she did give me a meal voucher to come Back and have a free meal So thank you again for trying to make me feel a bit happier than I was feeling that night 8/12/2023.cheers des.

Thank you for going out of your way to make a table for us on such a busy evening. My kids were super hungry and they didn't have to wait long at all for their meals. Pizzas were awesome and service was friendly and efficient. Thank you, we'll be back:)

We called in last Wednesday evening. Very impressed - lots of improvements have been made since first reopening after Covid. Staff were bright, friendly and efficient. We had excellent service and the food was great! Well done

Great food and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Met up with a friend and we shared a few plates: Cauliflower, Buttermilk Chicken, and wild caught Fish. Everything was cooked to perfection and so tasty & tender. The Cauliflower was hands down the hero dish of the night. I will have to come back.

Food is ok. One staff was really rude. She shoved one of my friends when trying to go past between them. She didn't even bother saying sorry. I think she's the manager or something similar as she wears different uniform from the rest.

Tried this place for the first time as we were looking for somewhere close to where we were (out of our usual neighbourhood) with a nice outdoor area for a sunny day. Food was delicious, drinks awesome (great selection of tap beer and even had an alcoholic ginger beer which is my husbands favourite!), great setting and good service - so nice to try somewhere new with zero disappointment!

Poor experience. Stood at the reception area awkwardly for quite some time while a young woman was trying to charge up an order, barely acknowledging us. We asked for a table for two and said we were happy to be seated outside. We asked if we needed to place an order first, take a table number or wait to be attended to and got a gruff response that someone would come to us to take our order. Half an hour later, and as we’re watching her chit chatting around with another staff member we just decided to leave.

Good food and ambiance. Could do with more staff and better service these days. The meat platter was delicious but not enough serving. Better making individual orders. Loved the Jalapeño and cheese dumplings.

Always a good time here. Great atmosphere, staff are always welcoming and entertaining too!

Almost feel like I'm hanging out at someone's house. That's how cosy it is.

Tap selection is amazing. We diversed from the beers and tucked into their mulled wine, peach bomb & alcohollic ginger beer. All were a delight to the taste buds.

Between the two of us we shared 3 plates. Which we couldn't finish. Great servings and tasty options.

All well priced too. Can't wait to do it again!

Plenty of different seating styles to suit your mood, indoor outdoor with great good selections and I've found excellent service. Just make sure you pay for parking if you're in a pay zone as the wardens are sharp!

F&T used to make out favorite wood fired pizza on the Shore. I’m not sure if the ownership changed or it’s smth else but tonight’s takeaway was an utter disappointment. Both pizzas were watery and not properly backed. I honestly feel like they used some frozen pizza dough which is unacceptable when you pay $56 for two medium-size pizzas. The pepperoni pizza had only a few weird pepperonis and heaps of caramelized onion (what was it even doing on a pepperoni?). The chicken pizza barely had any chicken but instead had some stinky gooseberry jam all over it. We ate one slice and threw away the rest. Very disappointing considering we used to love the place. Definitely do not recommend.

Best place to go after work. Great menu, great drink selection, great staff and service. Can get a bit windy through the good side, but the team have done a good job to make it really comfy through there with outdoor heaters and blankets in sheltered areas. Very cute

Nice place to chill out with friends and family. Food was fresh and prompt. The staff were so lovely and accommodating made us feel welcomed. I have to give 1 less star for the Churros which were under cooked and when I sent them back they simply tried to recook them. We will definitely come back.

What happend to the pizzas. They use to be amazing. The base was way thinner than it use to be and no crust like it use too have and the pepperoni was way too thick.
Jalapeño wontons were yum. Please go back to your old pizza dough recipe.

Was greeted straight away by staff, lovely setting, and food was delicious, we asked our waitress what she recommended and off her recommendation had the chicken bites and a pizza, absolutely delicious.
