Entrees were a nice start. The squid & scallops weren't chewy, pork belly, duck pate, oyster Kilpatrick were also good - wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger though. For mains, most of us got the Wagyu rump with mushroom sauce & the dish was accompanied with a good amount of sides - the chips & salad was probably the best combo. Chips was nicely seasoned. I feel like the Wagyu rump tasted better & was better value for money than their Wagyu flat iron - when you compare the two, the flat iron portion looked insufficient. Most of the desserts were all good choices. Pana Cotta being the best

I went here today and perfect is an understatement. The atmosphere is fantastic, the service was amazing, and the food followed suit. My partner is lactose intolerant and 2 separate servers came over to let him know about his choices. Not only that, but the chef came over to double check on him. It was so kind and we felt very well taken care of. Also, this was the best corn and zucchini fritter Ive ever had and a delicious fruity blast juice. Thank you for a memorable holiday experience!! You are all incredible!!
