Not a large menu but one that would provide something for most tastes. Smaller selection usually means better preparation and flavours. At the completion of our...meal, we considered the Duck may have been slightly over salted, (Capers? but there were none of the usual effects of an over salted meal, ie thirst. The vegetable accompaniments really enhanced the taste of the meat. The zucchini flowers (entrees were exceptional. The most noticeable consideration were the background sounds or lack of them. The acoustics were amazing. A table conversation could be conducted at normal volumes and everybody hearing. No loud conversations from other tables were discernible. The sound deadening fit out exceptional. All in all a very pleasant evening.

It is a local favourite with some loyal clients. Food is excellent and wine list is extensive but staff will advise. A minimal menu is usually a sign of good fresh produce and this doesn't disappoint. My only dilemma was pudding/dessert and I just couldn't decide on which home made ice cream to sample so they allowed me a tasting plate with fig and ginger, fennel, walnut & nutmeg, chocolate & caramel, sour cherries & armagnac, pistachio and last but not least, Earl Grey nom nom nom ... I have a pic but I appear to be in the wrong section of TripAdvisor to submit it.

It's a five star dining experience and great service by our waiter, Fred. The Japanese oysters are to die for and the duck rillette was absolutely amazing. This is a must visit place for a great dinner in Canberra.
