Em Duz: The chickpea pancakes were pretty great
Taryn: The food was outstanding, especially the chickpea pancake and the grilled prawns. Wines were a bit hit or miss and don't expect a cocktail.
Gene Soo: I think this is the best restaurant in Melbourne. I was blown away by every single dish I ordered. (Snapper carpaccio, chicken, creme brûlée) absolutely amazing!
