We didn't get all of the courses, however, it was still super filling. Each course packed plenty of flavour and the dessert was fun to unpack. Definitely recommend giving this place a go!

We had originally booked for the 4 course menu but I changed my mind last minute which fortunately, they were able to accomodate. The menu began with some salted mushrooms hidden within some rocks followed by a feast of snacks. Each snack was different in texture, taste and origin yet all tied beautifully together. Following on were 4 mains, 2 desserts and petit four to finish. Throughout the night, service was attentive, friendly and seamless. Food was always served by two waiters simultaneously, table was cleaned between courses, all the little things that are often dropped and dismissed. I also want to mention that each person that came to the table had the same welcoming smile and vibe. Overall a great night and the highlights were the peanut butter, scallops, fried chicken, ox tail broth, fish and the adorable anniversary gift at the end. 10/10 restaurant in my books. Highly recommended!

Service was friendly and attentive, but not over the top.A lot of care and attention by the team to ensure a truly enjoyable experience. Will definitely be back again!

We had the 12-course degustation menu, which is really a journey and it sings and dances for you; highly recommend. Also, the sommelier’s recommendations to the wine list were equally great.
