Lovely evening and great food. Cocktails were great. Leisurely progress through the set menu. Didn’t feel rushed at all. Lots of time to enjoy the food. Great to meet the chef at the end with the special tiramisu story- worth waiting for. We will be back again soon

It’s lovely that we were greeted twice by two separate wait staff who were very friendly, but then it took time to get their attention to order. Food was amazing but with items the delicious Betel Leaf with Prawn, we really needed some wipes to clean sticky fingers. We did our best with napkins, but as an entree I felt sticky for the remainder of the meal. Awesome restaurant and there was a lovely American girl, should have got her name, but she was the hostess that I would like to see in my organisation, where I working on guest experience standards. I will be back!
