The dishes that came to our table were all exceptional. Very nicely prepared and presented, very fresh and high quality ingredients. The service was very good, and the interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated with very high ceilings.

    Excellent food and service for this highly anticipated first visit to the Lunch Lady. Beef Carpaccio and the Duck Salad were showstoppers and the Garlic Noodles add Red Crab plus the Pork Tomahawk were also amazing. Chill service and laid back atmosphere rounded out a great night. Shout out to our server and thank you for the mango sorbet!
