Food was exceptional. We ordered three apps that were generously portioned for two people - steak tartare was beautifully textured but could have done with an egg yolk or something a bit creamy. The fish crisp with the oil and crispy bits on top was light, refreshing and packed full on f flavour and for those that like foie gras- highly recommend the kaizen toast. We sat at the bar and Sarah who looked after us was so fun and also attentive. Will definitely be back.

Had an amazing dinner at DaiLo! The service was incredibly attentive without being overbearing, and every dish we tried was a hit. Their eggplant + burrata was my favorite - perfect blend of textures and perfectly seasoned.

Really enjoyed dinner at Akira Back. The A5 Wagyu Nigiri was amazing (a must-try) and the sushi platter was very fresh. The Toban filet mignon was cooked well and the sauteed mushrooms were delicious. Even their vegetable fried rice was so good. The service we got from Gloria was great - she is always very friendly, kind, and thoughtful. I'll be back again soon.
