    Great little wine bar for some drinks, platters and pizza. The truffle polenta chips were delicious and pizzas done well. A nice wine list of Australian and European wines and generous pours.

    Not great at all. Birthday party and we wanted our disabled child to attend so we pre-ordered a few days in advance and got there very early. They had lost our pre-order. Didn't matter, we were the only people in the restaurant at that stage (5.30pm) so re-ordered, asked for the pizzas to come out quickly. Restaurant slowly filled up after 6pm. They started serving everyone else in the place but our pizzas still hadn't arrived an hour and half after ordering. Eventually had to take our child home (without dinner). By the time our meal arrived they had taken a bunch of pizzas off the menu as they had sold out (!), and they had run out of salad (?). Pretty amateur hour really.

    I hate to be this Karen, but alas here I am... Waited 2.5 hours for one serve aranchini and one pizza. Yep, the venue was understaffed but there was absolutely no sense of urgency at the bar, nor explanation given on wait time before ordering food. Checked with staff three times on how long food would be. It was like some kind of comedic act with lack of communication between the four staff working. Still not sure if BOTH our orders got lost?? When the food finally arrived, the pizza was undercooked, and small for its price. I can understand errors made under pressure, but this was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced in a hospitality setting.

    Lovely little local, food is a little overpriced for what it is, but a lovely spot to pop in for a pre dinner drink

    Comfortable, stylish. Nice selection of drinks and useful snack options. Easier to park here than in more mainstream locations. Appreciate having this close to where we live - very walkable.

    Our winters night out at Flatiron Side Door was very cosy. They had the fire going out the back and an enclosed dining area to keep everyone warm. Food is literally just pizzas and they were decent, didn't wow us though. Loved that it was dog friendly and they had some great selections of wine. If you love your wine and you're not coming hungry this is a great spot to enjoy a glass and some good company.

    Beautiful stylish bar. We went in at 9.30pm on a Sat night and there was no food available, not even an appetiser of olives or a cheese board. Pretty disappointing...hence 0 for food.

    We love this wine bar! I took my wife here a few months back and she absolutely fell in love with the place, big outdoor fire, vines, fairy lights and nice wine. We hosted my sisters party here tonight and everyone had such a great time. The service is just so friendly, calm atmosphere and the food was really good. Thanks guys!

    My daughter had a small function for her 21st birthday at this lovely little bar. The garden room is beautiful. The staff were amazing right from the time I booked and throughout the entire event. My daughter and her friends had a lovely day and will definitely be back. Thank you to Emma and Olivia G (who looked after them on the day).

    Hidden gem. Thanks for being so accommodating for our group booking. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food and ambience.

    Awesome night. The space was perfect for our birthday party. We have been coming here for years and it’s a favourite spot for us but for many of our guests it was a first time visit and we received very positive feedback about the venue and the food

    Great little spot. Amazing pizzas, solid wine list, and awesome service. Will be back. 🤗

    Great Friday drinks place!! I mean, it's probably great other nights of the week too

    Local wine bar with awesome pizza. Open for drinks from Wed to Sun in the Willesmere village. Very relaxed atmosphere with outdoor seating in the back with heaters

  • 5/5 Adam W. 3 years ago on Google
    This must be the best cafe in the east. I have brought humorous friends and clients here and everyone has left with a smile on thier face. The service is speedy but always friendly and the food is a cut above any greasy spoon. A true diamond in the rough.

  • 2/5 Karl H. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice cozy venue with a solid drinks list. The pizza menu looked great, unfortunately when we went to order at 8pm they told us they were out of pizza bases. Our group was a bit disappointed so we cut our visit short. Will try again another time.

    Took 38 minutes to get a drink, and it was almost half full. On Friday night, a person wants a drink. Food was OK. The setting is lovely!
