The guests’ words

Some of the best food I’ve ever had, probably one of the best restaurants in Brisbane. Warm and caring service delivered in an intimate setting — there wasn’t a single dish out of place.

… Ruxi, who explained the dishes in detail and with passion, helped us pick the right wine for the meals, who was busy but still somehow had time to make us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant.

The whole vibe was so warm and welcoming we felt like we had stopped in at our family’s for dinner. We will be back sooner rather than later.
