Great dinner, wagyu omasake. The matching sake and wine were great! Thanks to Christ, on serving and advising on the sake and wine. Food is surprising great. Not expecting much but vastly impressive. Fusion Japanese and western dishes. Not cheap (A$500 for two) but not expensive in international standard and for the standard of food. Enjoyed thoroughly.

The waitress who served us absolutely made our experience. I’m not sure if her name but I think she was French. She was kind, friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and it was great value to get in with the happy hour cocktails! Opting for the courtyard out front isn’t something I usually do but considering it had been a 30 degree day, it was a balmy night so it was lovely. Overall, great experience!
