A true experience. - Well what can I say, from the warm greeting, beautiful layout and wonderful food, we had an amazing night.

The moment we approached the door we were met with one of the most pleasant and attentive teams that took care of us the whole evening.
We were then met by the chef and shown around the many facets of the restaurant. A guided tour and breakdown of the philosophy of farm to table.
It was a pleasure to experience the food, not convoluted, not over complicated but instead, a true "let the products speak for them selves" dining experience.
It was my wife's birthday, and it actually felt like a birthday dinner, from a team signed birthday card to the amazing dessert art that was created in front of us.
I could ramble on and on about what a great night we had, but I would like to say, James and team... Well done, you are creating something different, beautiful and honest.
Thank you.

James, the chef has an extremely distinguished background but will chat with anyone and engage in thought-provoking conversation. All-in-all, a very special experience.
