    Excellent experience. The food and beverages were fantastic, we started with the charcuterie platter and it was incredible. Then we shared the chicken and it really over delivered! Look forward to returning!

    Absolutely great food. The best Beef Tartare we've ever had. Main proteins were good to very good, not excellent. For example, the sauces were yummy but the fish was not as fresh as we would have liked and the chicken was a little overcooked. The veggies were also overcooked and actually a little burnt. Desert was OK. As always, the cocktails were 5 star. I cannot rate service as frankly the place was nearly empty. One thing, we are in our 60's and sitting on the high stools is NOT for us. After an hour, they were very uncomfortable and actually cutting off the blood flow to our legs. We love this place but will not be returning unless we can get seated in regular chairs.

    The food was very good. We had a table on the second floor and it was so cold, it was hard to relax and enjoyed. When we told our server about being cold, she just asked if I wanted my coat…. To bad it kink of ruined the experience a little bit… but the food was amazing!

    Lovely spot. Food was great, just make sure to read the details as some items had some intense flavours. It was however very expensive (a side of carrots is over $20 tax and tip, and you have to order a side to go with your main if you want one). The upstairs is very chill... downstairs ambience doesn't really reflect the premium cost. Still, great spot to try.

    Service was fabulous and chef even came to our table to confirm what we wanted. We both ordered chicken but he said that would be an entire chicken and suggested we get chicken and the prawns for another option. We had ordered the dine around for both of us.
