We stayed down the street from here, and decided to try this restaurant as the menu looked good. I wasnt prepared for just how good this place was! They have a variety of meat dishes, which are served up raw on a hot volcanic stone. You then slice sections of meat off, and effectively cook it yourself on the stone... More

We had a great smoked salmon pizza here, very generous size, more than enough for 2. My teenage daughter loved the chicken fettucine, which was also a generous serving. Good family dining, everyone well catered for and prices are OK. More

Food was good, but service on arrival was absolutely appalling. Lacklustre / rude greeting (the waitress clearly wanted to be somewhere other than at work that night), our drinks didn't arrive, food ordered had run out ... after complaining we received great service from an excellent staff member and complimentary drinks, and were thankful for that, but would never return...

amazing pizza. Good place but more suited to the younger folk. Music can be a little loud, but the younger ones (20+) would love it More

Casual dining. Enjoyable food but not great. Doughy pizza bases and calzone. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. The Mojito's are out of this world but! More

It's hard to please a large group so we opted for Saints. The pizza was fairly good. The salad was rather sad and had a peculiar dressing that no one liked. The stone grills were fine - as they usually are given that you cook them yourself! The mains were quite limited. The fish and chips were okay - but... More

Enjoyed the food, I ordered the Carbonara Pasta and wedges and my mother ordered the Spaghetti Bolognase. Both yummy! We were informed that we couldnt order chicken because they ran out and it was a public holiday but that didnt deter us :) More
