We had the most incredible dining experience here as part of their Makers Series with Sher Wagyu and Clarnette Wines. From start to finish it was impeccable. The team was warm, welcoming and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Highly recommend!

Our meal was exceptional. Our dietary requirements were happily accommodated. The food was creative with great flavour combinations, particularly the dessert which was delicious. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed the relaxed ambience of the venue. We will definitely be back!

Great night. Food was awesome with perfect portions. Our requirement for vegetarian, FODMAP and normal was not an issue. Table service was excellent. I don’t think Katie Halst could have gone to the same place?

Absolutely amazing as always! This was our second visit this month, and the wonderful staff made us feel so welcome. The food was outstanding, with nothing left on any of the plates. Di and her team are doing incredible work in this kitchen. It was cozy and warm on a chilly winter night—just perfect!
