Amazing dinner. Food was fabulous, and amazing value. $79 pp for a huge amount of food, 8 small courses and sides. I like to chat and joke with wait staff, and they were all very friendly and good at their jobs. Thanks to the team, we will definitely be back.

The menu was just excellent. The ingredients were really different. We are gluten free and to have a full selection like that felt magical. I have recommended the restaurant to about 20 people individually since Saturday.
