Just amazing, the food was spectacular, the decor was beautiful, the staff attentive and each meal was timed perfectly. The drinks were amazing and we're definitely coming back to try more. So so much more than dining out, it was an experience like nothing else in every way.

About the restaurant

HIKARI, the MOONLIGHT
Hikari’s menu is inspired from “izakaya”, the traditional Japanese pub. We put a twist on izakaya dishes so be enjoyed not only with Japanese Sake but with great Australian wines as well. All Hikari dishes are designed to be shared or be enjoyed individually.

The Arsonist is a place we love going to again & again. We took friends there who hadn’t been before and they absolutely loved it. It’s a CBD restaurant on The Bay.
