    Beautiful light bright restaurant. Makes such a change from all those trendy dimly lit places where I need my phone torch to read the menu. Decor is fantastic, staff all well dressed and wearing signature notify on dresses and waistcoats etc. lovely big bar / counter area. Great mixture of seating. Food choice and standard of food is good as is the choice of drinks. Service from bar, to waiting to concierge is all professional and helpful but not overly fussy. We just love eating in here and people watching. It has a lovely vibe.

    CORE is exceptional. We've been fortunate enough to have been to a significant number of Michelin 3 stars. We both agreed this is a top 5. It's hard to add anything meaningful to the prior positive reviews. I'll add a couple of items I haven't seen much in the reviews. First, my wife is a vegetarian and CORE accommodated that beautifully. Second, the price of CORE, is very fair, particularly when compared with other 3 stars. We both had the classic menu, drank a nice bottle of Malbec, had two cocktails and some cognac. The bill was less than $1,000 US. While that is still a lot of money for a meal, it's probably the least we've paid at the 20 plus 3 stars we have now been to. Finally, we were impressed that the founder was very visible and friendly to patrons throughout the evening. That's something we are increasingly seeing less of in 3 star restaurants. It was nice to be greeted by her as we walked by the kitchen. It seems ridiculous to give a review and not talk about the food at all. It is exceptional and I have no insights that other reviewers have not already provided. This is a 3 star restaurant in every respect.
