I am Coeliac but menu had very few choices for me. . I had beef and it was well presented ans looked excellent. It was the only meat dish on the menu had egg yolk in soy sause to accompany only - no veges.. Rice was Cold. Our drinks came long after our food.

Always good food, however we arrived on time for our 7 pm booking and two out of the three items I wanted from the menu were sold out. “Oh but we’re busy” doesn’t cut it - it was the start of the evening.

Always really good Japanese food for a restaurant on the Far South Coast of NSW. It was really busy, but the food is always great, and because it's associated with Bar Monti, you know that it will be good.
