Have to pay cash. They dont take any cards.
Took 30 mins for them to make ne a chicken parma. I only ordered the parma because they had "sold out" of the ravioli. This is at 11.30am Sunday lunch. They already have a limited menu.
When i got it at least the waiter was courteous enough to apologise for the time it took.

The meal itself was terrible. I was put off from the first bite. It was very salty. They served the parma on top of chips, but they salted the chips heavily with sea salt. So the parma was ruined. The parma was disgusting in its own right. There was hardly any cheese, and no ham. Again they are obvoiusly cost cutting. The meat was tough and when i finally could cut through to the meat it was basically tastelenss. Oh... apart from the salt, the charred bread crumbs and the aftertase of oil that stayed with me for the rest of the day. By far the worst parma i have had anywhere!
Next surprise. The salad was quite nice, but after i finished it, i notice a piece of what looked like stale white chewing gum on my plate where the salad was.
I notified the manager on duty and he was reluctant to apologise, and the apology was completely insincere. He treated it as if it just did not matter! he was rude, and asked me to leave.

I didnt expect to be served rubbish, literally, and then humiliated by this wanna be bouncer.

Overall rating in the negative, and glad to never give them my business again!

Approximate cost: $18
