> We booked chefs table because we love seeing the kitchen in action. Sammy was our chef and we chose ‘Trust the chef’ for menu choice! Sammy was terrific, he listened to our preferences and delivered everything to our liking. There are only 5 stars to choose from, but tonight’s experience was really a 10! We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and it was fascinating to see the genuine well oiled machine which was the staff working efficiently to deliver the very best customer service. The food was amazing. So many absolutely divine flavours. Thank you for a memorable culinary e, Catherine Smith, 4 months ago
> Santiago was the star of the night, as our friend’s online booking seemed to not make it over the internet. Thankfully, Santiago was able to accommodate a table of four for us. Helpful recommendations from our host, and we enjoyed a tasty array of delectable treats from the kitchen, with great selections of wine by the glass to match. Every dish was amazing, with nothing disappointing us. Shared plates is fabulous way to experience many of the highlights from a restaurant. Highly recommended, and would rush back for another meal when we’re in town again!, Reece benson, 7 months ago
> Outstanding dining experience. The cooking is precise and assured, with thoughtful pairings and well-judged acidity bringing balance to each dish. The fish in particular was exceptional — perfectly cooked with remarkable texture., Chester Lau, 7 months ago
