There is ample parking with 40 spots located in our adjoining car park and 206 directly across the road. Parking is metered until 6.00pm and accepts credit cards. There is also parking up Parriwi Road adjacent to Orso.

Any changes to numbers made after your final payment will not be refunded. 1 weeks’ notice for any cancellations is required to use that spend on food or beverage items.

We cater for all dietary requirements; you will be required to provide the guests name, table number and requirements. We provide each dietary requirement with their own dietary card to be placed in front of them on the night (this also assists our staff). Please note, you do not have to select your meals based on special dietary requirements as our Chef will create meals entirely specific to the guest’s requirement.
