Shari M.Shari Mann: Bartender Jordan from LA is the best mixologist around, and this spot - while part of the Ivy group is older and way more classy. Awesome 20s theme, super cool underground vibe.

Alex W.Alex Walker: Slightly hidden underground. 20-30s-styled whiskey and cocktail bar. Great staff looking perfect. Beautifully run operation.

Mel M.Mel Mc: Not easy to find, but most amazing wall of whisky in Aus, including Islay single malts like Bruichladdich Octomore. Order the Ploughmans platter with the fancy Pepe Saya butter & side of HOT mustard

Barbara T.Barbara Toson: Try the spicy scallops and the sesame snapper sushi. Sirloin with greens and shitake mushrooms is very tasty :-) finish with a small vanilla pannacotta and berry coulis

Elyse E.Elyse Estrada: Sit at the sushi bar, order the wagyu, tuna avocado, and spicy tuna rolls. Waitstaff is a bit snotty but they're easy on the eyes. They're quite conservative on the wine pours so best order a bottle.
