    Sat at the high tops in front of the kitchen watching the chefs at work. Excellent dining experience and the food was exceptional. The short rib was the winner of the night for us, but the hangar steak was also great. Felt a little neglected from a service perspective towards the end and we had been forgotten about when we were trying to order desserts. Overall fantastic and look forward to going back again in the future.

    Food was, as usual, exceptional. What they do with the vegetables is out of this world!! This time, music was a tad loud and the service lagged a bit behind. But overall, it is a very special place to eat

    A super evening; an outstanding menu by Dan Merriman in collaboration with James and his brilliant team. Each of the five courses was delicious. The atmosphere as usual was buzzing and the service was really nice, friendly & attentive.
