We came relatively soon after their opening and suspect that they’re still ironing out the kinks. The service was great in terms of attentiveness and communication. The food was priced okay relative to the value but I think that the plating and presentation left a bit to be desired. I had to ask for the chili oil for my avo toast after it was left off and requested extra pickled red onions because so few were used on the dish.

Amazing food, terrific waiter. Frustrated that although we booked standard tables they insisted on seating us at a high table which didn’t work for my elderly parents. The low tables remained open until 5 minutes before we left. Not great.
