Hands down one of the best culinary experiences of my life. Every dish is perfectly balanced in flavour, consistency and colour. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional and the wine wilst has no end. Cannot report even the slightest issue, the staff is ready to help on every aspect and with the open space kitchen you can see everything happening all around, very tidy and clean. If I ever come back to Melbourne this will be on my MUST list and I'll definitely recommend this venue to all friends visiting the city.
