Sashimi was fresh and delicious. Crab croquettes were superb and mains of barramundi and steak were just as good.

Food, service and the whole evening was superb. Maybe a little noisy and food comes fast but am sure you can ask for it to be slowed down. It's a place you need to book, very busy and full.
