Had the set menu with the matched wines which was delicious. The highlight of the night was the thoughtfulness in the wine selection and some really interesting and diverse flavours. We loved chatting with the sommelier about the wines and he seemed to know his stuff and love his job.

Harvey’s gnocchi with scallops, sage butter and prosciutto was absolutely delicious, and, dare I say, possibly the best meal that I have enjoyed in Brisbane for some time. Thank you 🙏🏻 🤩
