    I come here every Sunday for a matcha and sometimes breakfast and it's such a lovely ritual. I have been here a few times for dinner and it is always always sublime. Last night's delicious feast was no exception- I was so proud to introduce the venue to my colleagues who commented variously through the night how lovely it all was, and one said she'd be back to do a little work and eat :) very happy!

    Did the Raman special, with sourdough starter. Both meals great and service was very well done. The coconut fish was a standout.

    Every dish and the service was perfect. Had a great time, as usual. I think The Shelter has become my friends’ go to place. An hour’s drive away isn’t too bad for good food.
