Have not been disappointed by the fresh, delicious but very simple combination of food favours which just work! Tuna tartare is fabulous. The lamb shoulder which is cooked overnight falls off the bone and the creamy yogurt dessert is one of the best desserts I have ever had. one if my favourite Melbourne restaurants. More

We decided at 6pm on a Friday night that we would eat here. When we arrived at 6.30pm we were ushered into a corner where we could order a drink and an entree until we were finally seated for dinner at the bar. The service was decent, as you would expect. The food was very good, except for the brasseola... More

There is a sense of conscious and deliberate intelligence in the food and service of this restaurant. It wasn't cold though, the staff were warm and friendly. This is brainy food. We sat at the bar overlooking cold larder, the kitchen vibe was really interesting, the chefs were having fun, helping each other and things were moving at a frenetic... More

We would head back again and again for the outstanding range of oysters. We enjoyed sitting at the bar overlooking the kitchen while we ate. There is lots of atmosphere. There was also a stunning dish of buffalo haloumi and broad beans. We headed back a few weeks later to try it again but alas it was no longer on... More
