I went here when it first opened and the food was terrific but this time around it just didn't really grab me. The menu is inventive and interesting and the gimmick of tapas style selections makes it fun for those of us who always find it hard to pick just one thing. But the execution just didn't live up to... More

As a regular patron, i usually like to spruik this restaurant to any friends and family visiting Geelong. In the past i have had awesome food, excellent wine and great service. However my past two visits have really made me think twice about visiting - and it's a shame, because there is so much on offer here. Last visit was... More

We ate here on a Friday night at the second sitting of 8pm. Arrived early to sample some of the boutique beers in the upstairs bar. There were around 50 different beers available to try. The open mic night was great with a varied lot of artists doing their thing. Ending up staying until closing time and had a great... More

We went for several entre sized dishes instead of main meals. The food presentation is just like artwork. Very pleasing to the eye and equally tasty. As our food as ordered varied wildly, we chose to have several different matching wines by the glass as opposed to a full bottle of one style. The wines were all fresh as opposed... More

We went to jack and Jill's for our wedding anniversary dinner after recommendations from various friends and it lived up to all the hype. After getting my head around the concept of the mini meals I really loved the idea as I got to sample more of the menu than I usually would have. There were plenty of dishes for... More

This is an interesting concept in dining which allows diners to choose 3 or 4 small portions of a main meal. This is OK in theory but if you have special dietary needs like myself it can get a bit tricky and the waitress made a big fuss out of my request to modify one of my choices. Most of... More

There are 2 sittings per night but we didn't feel rushed at any time and were comfortable with the timeframe we had. The best way to order is 2 or 3 items from the menu as it is presented like tapas size and composition. The 2 choices I had were all amazingly delicious but a couple of them shone. It... More

The concept of this restaurant was exciting and we looked forward to having mini meals. Most things were delicious but for the price you pay we expected a little bit more. It was nice but wouldn't go there again. Would rather go somewhere else and get a bigger dish as did not feel full even after the 5 tastings. We... More
