    One of my most favourite lunch experiences in a very long time. Can’t pick the dish of the day because everything was amazing. An end of an era. Seriously one of best food experiences you could have. If you live in Sydney there’s still a week to book in!!

    The food and service here were all excellent! The only reason I gave 4/5 was because I felt the music was rather loud. This can be quite off-putting when trying to engage in conversation with fellow diners. The staff were good enough to lower the music when we asked but it seemed that different music played at various levels. I believe that music is great to have and adds to the ambience, but let's keep it at a level where we can still talk and hear each other. Otherwise, the focaccia was unreal, the steak sandwich, the calamari, the duck salad - everything was faultless. Oh, and that Shanghai cocktail with the lychees was one of the best!

    Food was divine (be sure to order a lot — maybe around 7 small plates because the portions are small), and the service was super friendly. Ambience was very relaxed but romantic (good for dates!). Fantastic all around. The steak, potato pave, and duck are mindblowing. I could’ve had just ordered 2-3 servings each of those three things and died happy.
