Nice open feel to it and you can stumble right onto the main drag which is usually bustling during summer and holidays. There was live music even on a Wednesday night which was a nice surprise but choose your seating wisely. We sat close to the bar but the musician was near there and they're speaker was just too loud making conversations more like you were in a dance club. We moved to quieter spot after we ate our meals. Food was well presented and tasty but definitely a bit pricey for pub food. I'd go back though.

Just stopped in for coffee, and it is quite good plus drinking a cappuccino with cool jazz playing is my idea of a perfect way to start (or end) my day.

Upper North Shore. New Liquour Licencing laws. A smart…read moreLawyer who obviously knows both. Voila ! Kiplings ! The old garage site near the station at Turrumurra is now a very neat bar and small plate food joint. Service is per young people who have somehow been imbued with a sense of service, pride, and fun. How does a lawyer do THAT ? Food - absolutely fantastic ! Crab on toast, quail lolipops, octopus, prawns, mushroom and truffle tarts, the food is brought out fast and it is very very good, and this is the first night! I think the younger north shore people will find the cost acceptable if not areyouserious cheap. At tonight's setting there was an even mix, perhaps 60:40 oldies : youngies. The space has been done brilliantly, I only wish they had left the outside looking like a garage but that might have been pushing it a bit. There's a long way to go for the UNS but this is a huge step in the right direction. Finally.

Looking through the menu I could NOT take my eyes off the following "Macadamia Nut Crusted Chicken Breast with Mashed Potato and Veggies". Holy Food God. I ordered it and the serving was so big, enough for two people for sure... I ate the whole thing. I'm not much of a food photo taker, but I needed to record the awesomeness that was this meal. The view here is lovely and the drinks are cheap, so why oh why did I mark this only 4 out of 5? Well my friends who have children ordered the childrens meal which comes with ice cream. They asked for the ice cream about an hour after dinner, and were told that there was no ice cream left. We'd only been able to control the kids with the promise of ice cream. The girl did not seem to care and offered us the dessert menu. There was nothing offered to replace the ice cream either. Other than that I think the place was great.

As for the food, fresh homemade pasta is the first thing I noticed. Had the bosciola and it was nice and creamy and fresh pasta made it even better but slightly on the thick side but still incredible. My wife had bosciola chicken without pasta which we had never heard of but pretty much grilled chicken with mushroom cream sauce. Over all nice night good atmosphere friendly staff good food. I would good again for sure.
