Small, intimate dining experience! I love how the food is getter better and better every dish we tried. Another great thing is that you don't have to think. Just enjoy the food in front of you. The food is definitely well executed with care and consideration. What I enjoyed the most though is the hospitality of the chef Graham. He picked up my call to arrange the dish for my friend who has shellfish allergy. After the meal, he was not rushing us out and willing to chat with me about Thailand, our cravings for good bakery, and his approach to cooking. He is down to earth and loves what he is doing. My only wish on the food side is to have some bread to go with dishes. In any event, this is the place you can enjoy the food and feel the care of the staffs in his craft. I will come back for more, like that critic in Ratatouille "Surprise me!"
10/10 experience. Rotating menu with local, seasonal ingredients; every single dish was perfect. The octopus blew our minds - I didn't know octopus could be sooo tender and flavorful. Love the concept, the people behind it, and of course, the food.

It's a very small space run by two guys! They offer a tasting menu and 2 seatings per day. It's hard to get reservations here but worth trying. The food is good and fresh and the energy of the owners is what makes it nice.
