This is the second time I’ve been and it was just as good as the first. The food is beautifully prepared and presented. The tuna tartare sandwich was outstanding! Service is friendly and efficient. Mosman needs more places like this

Beautiful meal and setting enjoying a spring evening meal. We did the $89 banquet which was lovely, but service was incredibly slow. We dined early but still finished our evening when other diners who arrived 60-90mins after us did. Wine menu was limited. Food was exceptional. The barramundi is presented in the most exceptional way and flavours that came from everything were delightful. Good portion and serving sizes.

Absolutely amazing, just like the Manly venue. Food unbelievably good, with mazing flavour combinations and creativity plated up. Great waite staff. I'm a big bloke and portion sizes could be bigger for the price, so only 4 stars for value, but all else 5 stars. Had a great time there!
