Whilst our meals were delicious there was 5 of us dining and 2 of us wanted to have the share menu unfortunately this wasn’t possible unless all of us had it. As there were 5 of us we would have had to order extra anyway so I fail to see why 2 of us couldn’t have it whilst the others ordered off the menu. In saying that all our meals were delicious.

Went there recently for our wedding anniversary . We decided to go with the set menu for two people at $80 pp. We found the food and service excellent . Calamari was the star favorite though .We left there completely full and satisfied and a doggo bag as well there was that much food. We will defiantly be returning.

Very disappointing. I ordered a Masaman curry Duck sous vide. Hardly any curry sauce, duck was tough. I didn't enjoy it at all. Only thing on the dish I enjoyed was the black rice and the curry sauce, of which their wasn't enough. In a restaurant where their were few people dining, we were seated very closely to another diner. I understand if the restaurant was fully booked and all tables were full, but it wasn't. I like to be able to talk to my husband without needing to be aware of other diners sitting so closely. This was my birthday dinner, and I was very disappointed. Im not sure I would choose to come back here.
