The events of Friday evening had a profound impact on our restaurant and staff. The actions of a few, caused much distress to our customers and to neighbouring restaurant patrons and staff.
While others have chosen to speak about who we are and decided we are a legitimate target for protest, we want to be clear about who we are, in our words.
We are a restaurant, a place of hospitality, of warmth and welcome. Our greatest joy is to feed people from every background and viewpoint and to see the joy on people's faces as they enjoy our food and each other's company. That is our purpose and our objective.
All our staff and customers are coming from different background and cultures, We respect everyone's right to their own nationality and religion. We ask for the same.
All we wish to do moving forward, is to keep feeding anyone who comes through our doors with love, attention and care while supplying a safe working space for our employees.
We would like to thank all those in Melbourne and beyond for the outpouring of well wishes and offers of support.
We do not intend to make any further statements. We want our cooking and hospitality to do the talking. We welcome anyone who wishes to dine with us with open arms.
