We had a fantastic Christmas celebration with the Aunty Kims team. They were professional and very obliging with all our needs . Our team enjoyed great food and plenty of it plus all dietary needs were met. Thanks to the team for a memorable event. We loved it!
Atrium space was gorgeous. Staff made our night, so attentive, funny, professional. Thank you Jodie for looking after us, and Nickers for helping with organising :)
Great staff, extremely friendly and helpful. Food was good with a good selection. We had the private Wilfred room for four hours and it was party time. Terrific night
Absolutely great event space for our end of year celebration. The service and food was amazing! Thanks so much guys
The place was really nice and beautiful just like the pictures. It was a semi private area, but it felt like a real cozy private place. The food was perfect, everyone loved their meal. Service was great too, they were very helpful and attentive when to serve the next course.
The food was superb! And the service was excellent. Especially Barbara (hope I remembered her name). All my guests enjoyed the dinner. Kudos to the team!
Fantastic space, perfect size for my workshop. Jeanette was super helpful & easy to communicate with.
