👍👍 This is an experience. Yes, it is expensive and you will spend over 2 hrs there, but the staff makes you feel special and you know that what you're tasting is well crafted. It wasn't pretentious as many fine-dining places tend to be. The skills and quality of produce shows and it makes it definitely...

👍👍 A must visit, absolutely amazing! If you are looking for superb food and/or drinks and/or company, this is the place. Super tasty custom cocktails to your needs (or wants), and fabulous food to even match my awkward dairy-free dietary requirements 🙌.

They actuall...

Total of $52. The salad / lettuce cups were $18. ( fairly pricey but ok if you get an enjoyable salad ) I asked fo...

😐 Not worth the hype. Couldn't get in on Friday night for dinner so made a booking for Saturday and were a little disappointed. The garlic flatbread was absolutely amazing but I can't say the same about the eye fillet or the apparently highly regarded risotto, which were both just average. The ambienc...
