    The food was amazing with the most unique and interesting flavor combinations. Our party of 4 ordered 8 plates to share-some lighter plates and some entrees. The veal, char sui pork chop and mushroom donburi were excellent. The Frito misto is served with a lime aioli and is to die for. Cocktails were interesting and delicious and we saved a bit of space to share both desserts. Yum! Service was excellent- perfectly attentive, warm and friendly without being intrusive. Fast becoming a fave restaurant for us!

    Podmore never fails to deliver in every facet of a meal. The new menu is drool worthy. Everyone wanted multiple things, which means we will have to return soon. The price was really reasonable and the experience very luxurious.

    Food came at all different times. Wine we ordered was unavailable and we had to upgrade. They were out of prawns which was disappointing. One dish was really hot and spicy. The leftovers were delicious for lunch.
