We tried the lamb shoulder for two - excellent plus plenty so we brought some home. A friend had the prawn and bug linguine but she was not so happy, too strong tasting. Service good and ambience good but wines extremely pricey.

Absolutely loved the ambience of this gorgeous restaurant. Beautifully lit and well thought out dining spaces. The staff were genuinely lovely, attentive, not over the top but really welcoming and kind. The food was outstanding, we had the gf bread (best gf bread we’ve had out in a while) lamb entree, wagyu and pork main, parish mash and the pavlova for dessert. All were beautiful, the pork was a little less tender than hoped but still good. We will definitely be back.
