The Spring Special menu was good value with a selectionof a mains item, cocktail & dessert. Cocktails are pretty looking and delicious. The place was crowded on a Friday evening but Staff was polite and attentive. Good views from this beautiful rooftop bar and interior looks lovely in the night with all the decor and fairy lights. Very good experience.

This place is perfect for an afternoon cocktail 🍹 or Oysters. There's a 180° degrees view's of Canberra. It's a great place to visit. The price of the oysters was really reasonable and the price of the 🍹 cocktails were okay and they tasted fantastic!
The staff were friendly and the cocktail 🍹 mixologists was fantastic. I can't remember all of the names of the cocktails but one of the one's we had they were terrific and replaced coffee ☕ with decaffeinated coffee in the cocktail. The edible flowers 💐 are delicious. I ordered a few Eclipse cocktails. On the Monday they were quite quiet but they were busy on the Tuesday dress up or go casual. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here and it was well worth the money.

Great venue for cocktails over sunset. Easy to order at the bar, but sometimes the service was slow for one or two drinks for our group. I don’t recommend the food here unless you live on cheese. The pumpkin risotto was essentially cheese risotto with an unusual odour, and the pizza was VERY cheesy also. Unfortunately the food didn’t sit well in our stomachs. But the view and cocktails are second to none. Will definitely be back for the scenery and drinks!

We went here looking for a roof top bar experience. We were put on a table in a corridor with limited, if any, view. When tables became free we asked to move and were told they were booked. Disappointed but we could understand that until the staff were able to seat walking at those same tables. The cocktails were very poor. I had the worst Long Island ice tea I’d ever had and the cocktails were amateurish at best. The venue has truly great views when you’re not dumped at what appeared to be the only table without a view. This place promises a lot but just doesn’t deliver anything in the way of service or quality.

Great view of Canberra from the rooftop. Loved the pizza we ordered. Cocktails were nice. Would suggest QR codes on the tables so we don’t have to go up to the bar to order.

I read other reviews that stated the food here wasn't great and nearly didn't come. I'm very glad I decided to try and see for myself. The food was perfect! Asked for a steak cooked medium and got exactly what I asked for. I normally can't eat everything on my plate but I did here. The ambience was lovely, great views, and not noisy at all. Only reason I rated this restaurant 4 stars instead of 5 is because the staff weren't very friendly. Not that they were rude at all, but just didn't seem to really care to be there was the impression i got. I would come back again though regardless.
