Customer Reviews
Perhaps one of the top 10 meals ever. An incredibly well put together feed me set menu. Every dish a standout. Flavours exploding everywhere but pairings for each stage so well thought out. Seriously impressive. 500ml Riesling Chardonnay 50:50 blend also fascinating and the whole thing unbelievably good value.
This place is a must-visit in Melbourne. The design and architecture are clean and inviting, encouraging you to enjoy every moment. The food is incredibly fresh and expertly curated by the chef. We highly recommend trying the raw beef
Consistently one of the best dining experiences in Melbourne. The food is incredible and the service is always perfect. Get the charsiu, the Chinese donughts and whatever else they recommend you get! Also wine. Lovely wine.
I recently read a review for this restaurant and it was a glowing one. So much so that I was surprised to have never heard of it. I instantly marshalled the troops and made a booking. What an inspired decision that was! We arrived and were greeted instantly and warmly and directed to our seats upstairs. The waiter upstairs was instantly engaging and he did all the things that a great waiter does. He clearly enjoys every aspect of his job and is very good at it. We were offered drinks immediately and we had the various dining options explained along with suggestions on what to eat. We were also told that dishes could be tweaked if necessary, for example the rice dish we wanted had anchovies in it, my partner hates anchovies (I have no idea why) so the waiter said he’d just get them served on the side. Result! We ordered 4 small plates, 2 mains and a rice. For the 3 of us, we all left feeling full and all the plates of food were eaten. Not a speck of food was wasted. It’s not often that you go to a restaurant and every single aspect of the experience was positive. We will most definitely return here and I would highly recommend that you pop it high up on your list.
