Interesting new restaurant in the heart of the Brissie food (or should I say, yuppie / dinkie) scene. Reservations required. We went in on a Wednesday and it was pretty much full; pretty surprising considering the place had only been open for 6 weeks. Tables at the front were a little windy with the window wide open; in the back it's way better.
We enjoyed a broad sampling of the menu. Courses are intended to be shared. We tried 9 courses between the 3 of us. For starters we had oysters and delicious bread; then came the first set of mains, including scallops with enoki mushrooms (divine), quail (meat excellent, stuffing meh), and the portobello shrooms (not so interesting).
Our second set of mains consisted of delicious octopus, smoked lamb neck with pine nuts and mint (delish), and the whole leek which also was very good. We fished off with a sorbet that had great mixes of sweet, salty & sour.
All good is prepared on a wood fire. It's served beautifully by friendly and informed servers. The place is not overly formal (servers wear jeans) but certainly not casual. Overall it was great. Only negative was that the sauces with the meat felt a little one dimensional (dark, a little sweet). Bill came to ~$75 per person (excluding wine), reasonable for 9 shared courses. read more
