    Really warm welcome and friendly service. I had a booking and less people showed up - no problem. Proactive but not intrusive service, drinks amazing and food was good. I only had a nibble but all the others said the food was great. And it looked good coming out. Music was the perfect background volume with fun South American tunes and all other patrons looked like they were enjoying the vibe also. I rang after to get a duplicate copy of the receipt and that came through quickly and again was no problem. Lovely guys and I’d definitely go back.

    Loved the dinner set menu for $65 per person. good range of entree and mains. The team was thoughtful to provide complimentary dessert as I mentioned we were celebrating a few personal milestones so it was a great surprise to see 5 tiramisu cakes :) I can't wait to come back and try other dishes.! yum

    Simply beautiful, service was outstanding and meal delivered super quick!!! We trued the duck ramen (spectacular) and the Ochazuke Scallop & Snapper (YUM and how fun!) Sadly, we only had a short time for dinner as we were rushing off to an event nearby, so we will definitely need to come back to experience more menu items and enjoy a more leisurely dinner. The beautiful ceramics and presentation of meals is so thoughtul. Thank you for a wonderful quick dinner. Cant wait to return
