   Stunningly good food, very innovative Thai fusion. My spouse and I agreed that the hot dog was probably the best hot dog we'd ever had. The pork dumplings were also outstanding - tangy, slightly spicy with yuzu and greens on top. The mussels were solid, with a delicious sauce, which we didn't waste a drop of. Cocktails were excellent and creative. I don't normally go for sweet cocktails, but the strawberry cheesecake was outstanding. Finally, their one dessert (a flan with coconut sorbet) was subtle and so good that we got two instead of sharing one.

   Huge shoes to fill (Matt Murphy’s was an institution and was run by the best). Delicious, creative menu - we especially loved the terra fries, the dumplings, the kale and yes the hot dog. Drinks were very imaginative, though a little on the sweet side, a few more wine options would also be nice. Noise level was higher than one would hope and required your concert voice for the entirety of the meal. Last criticism - do away with QR code menu. Nothing worse than meeting friends and everyone immediately having to put their nose in their phones. But the food - will be back for sure!

   Merai is amazing. Delicious cocktails. Incredible food. The dessert was especially good (and I'm not usually a dessert person). Just wish there was one or two more vegetarian options, but we ate well regardless and loved what was on offer.

   Fun vibe, innovative cocktails, and excellent food. The menu is not huge but literally everything looked good, so we need to go back. In particular, the dumplings and chicken fettuccine were outstanding. Oh and that hot dog! Not to be missed.

    Beyond delicious and a great time! Everything was outstanding — every bit as good as Mahaniyom with a more fusiony global inspired vibe
