Delicious, unique, wonderful atmosphere. I’ve passed this place countless times but am so glad I stopped in. Everything was on point, my favorite was the trout.

It’s a must try if you’re nearby! Definitely a good place to go to on a date night or night out with a small group of friends. I would say this is a good option to start out your night before heading to dinner. It’s not a place you would go to for nice full meal but more like light appetizers to warm up your stomach for another meal after. Wine here was pretty good too but I didn’t get chance to fully look at the collection or fridge that they have in the restaurant.

I appreciate quantity AND quality, so I was skeptical about having dinner here.
However, despite their portions being reminiscent of tapas I left more than full and extremely satisfied!
My friends and I got everything on the menu but 2 items.
I love the intimate space, their modern wine selection, and the staff was pretty great as well. Devon was a real sweetheart!
I can’t wait to visit this spot again!

If you’re looking to drop serious cash for the privilege of being disappointed, this is your spot. Brace yourself for tiny portions, lackluster flavors, and price tags that will make you wonder if you’ve wandered into a high-stakes game of culinary extortion.

Let’s start with the prawns—two measly, undercooked prawns for $50. That’s right: two. They were bland, and the accompanying aioli tasted like…well, nothing. Not exactly the indulgent experience I was expecting at that price point.

The rest of the menu didn’t save the night either. The tomato toast—a single slice of bread with mayo and tomatoes—came in at $20. Meanwhile, the escargot somehow managed to skip on the flavor entirely, lacking the garlicky bite you’d expect. It was all oil, no substance.

The only redeeming part was the wine, which was solid but not life-changing, and at $16 a glass, that’s the least I’d expect.

If you’re fine with overpaying for underwhelming food, go right ahead. Otherwise, I’d recommend saving your money for a place that actually cares about balancing price with quality. We went back to North Light around the corner for a great meal and drinks to avoid going home hungry.
