It is not your everyday eatery, well not for me anyway, but for that special occasion/someone you would find it difficult to come across a place that is so cosmopolitan. Great food and staff. A little more expensive than most but well worth it.

Head Chef Beau and his kitchen team research, refine and realise course combinations that let you escape and share their aspirational creations.Just like destinations experienced during worldly travels you’ll have your favourites and some experiences that may challenge you. Just remember, like anything special, an incredible scenery or culinary journey, you need to allow yourself to absorb the whole experience.Subo’s ‘front of house’ team are proficient service individuals, focused entirely on ‘setting the scene’ before each of Beau’s creations are served, ensuring you’re ready for your next culinary expedition and of course ensure you simply feel special.To Beau, Curtis, Katie, Kay, Hope and the Subo team, thank you for providing somewhere ‘fine’..! Oh, and one more thing, if you’re a coffee connoisseur, have Curtis make you one while you enjoy your final dessert course, you won’t be disappointed.

The second desert was a chocolate beetroot that was unusual but very very good. The 4 of us all enjoyed every course.

Firstly, the service was some of the best we've ever had. The staff were exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer our questions and exquisitely describe each dish as it arrived. Our location in the Glass House area at the rear of the restaurant was brilliant. In what I assume used to be the back yard, we found ourselves seated in a greenhouse surrounded by night; the glass reflecting the nearby candles and low interior light to create a delicate and warm atmosphere. The food was not only immaculately presented, but also divine in taste as well. There were several combinations I was dubious about when contemplating and pleasantly surprised upon consuming. Sweet mixed with savoury on many occasions to produce unexpectedly pleasant flavours that absolutely blew me away. I cannot speak more highly of Subo, its staff, and the Chef. We will definitely be returning several times in the coming years to treat ourselves to their ever-changing seasonal menus and I suggest you do the same as well.

I personally found the fish flavour in Torton overpowered the other ingredients in the dish, but other than that everything was amazing. Will definitely be back.
