    The mix of indoor and outdoor seating made things a bit chaotic, and we ended up with two wrong dishes at our table. But besides that, the service was really great overall. The sake on the drinks menu was definitely a highlight. It came in these chilled silver cups that really brought out how smooth and soft the sake tasted when drinking it straight. The cocktails, on the other hand, were a bit boring compared to that. The food itself was really good quality

    Food was great - only issue was Mother's Day seemed a bit under prepared. There was no sparkling water or wagyu cheeseburger which was disappointing.

    Overall, the food was great and good value for money. Booking is essential. Just note there’s a 10% surcharge on weekends and an additional 10% for groups larger than six. One downside — their phone number doesn’t seem to work. The main issue for us was the timing of the mains. They weren’t served at the same time, so it felt more like a tasting menu than a shared dinner. We ordered one Casio, one Merrylands, one risotto, and two steaks. The Casio came out first by itself, which we shared. Once that was finished, the risotto arrived alone. It was so good we ordered another — which oddly arrived before the remaining Merrylands and both steaks. Highlights: the risotto was excellent, the Merrylands had a great smoky flavour, and the steaks were nicely done. Just something to keep in mind if you’re dining with a group.
