Best meal we had in a long time. Both the wine and the tea pairing were excellent! If you can go for the Wagyu supplement, it was absolutely worth it!

Raw tuna in crispy wonton is an outstanding dish - great combination of quality fresh ingredients, flavour & texture. And the fish curry (barramundi?) was again, the result of skilled perfection. The food is exactly WHY we are happy to pay for food, the way it is supposed to be cooked - by people who know what they are doing! Thankyou.
