    Came here to celebrate my friends birthday and we went for the all you can eat yum cha. I came here last time and the food came out quite quickly, however this time the food was delayed for a significantly longer time, and the waitress didn't seem to know what she was doing, missing dishes that we had to keep asking for. I went to pay the bill and the server apologised for the delay and did not charge us for the drinks which I was not expecting! Wonderful gesture from the restaurant and I thank them for making things right, it was really appreciated and made our day :)

    Wagyu Wednesday special was great value! Food tasted great, a bit heavy since all 3 courses was the wagyu then some noodles – would've been nice to have a small salad to share or as an add on option. Service was good, it was quiet since it was an early dinner on a weekday. Not sure if they charged us correctly for our 2 drinks though since it was near the same price as our meals... Also the door was hard to find since it's lowkey disguised as the wall

    Great little wine bar away from the serious busyness of west end of Swan St. Extensive wine list, great outdoor area out the back and small but great selection of food. Service was brilliant. Will be back!
