    Cannot fault the food, what we ordered was excellent. We had a late lunch setting 2.30pm. We arrived on time but got asked to wait 10 mins for our table and got seated at the bar. Unfortunately we did not get offered a drink at the bar although we were given a drinks menu. Once seated we ordered entrees promptly, but we're told to order mains also as the kitchen was closing in 10 mins. Perhaps being advised to order mains as last orders in in the next 10 mins or so would be a nicer approach. We were there for my friends birthday which was written into the booking, but at no time were we asked "is it someones birthday, or are you here for a special occasion, something that refined customer service should be aware of. Lovely staff. Just a few tweaks to achieve exemplary customer service and a 5 start rating. Will definitely be back.

    Had the kingfish sashimi and the scallops for starter ...scallops are a bit gravy but the sashimi is excellent. Then we had the eye filet and I must say that this is one of the best meat I ever had (1st being Rockpool bar and grill Sydney). A bit noisy but overall experience was really enjoyable ! I recommend
