We started with a mini martini and goat cheese tart combo that they promoted as a bite while you decide on the menu for the night... very creative idea! We ordered a bunch of plates to share and everything was delicious but the most surprising was the kangaroo dish? As we were visiting Australia we had to order this off the menu but were not expecting it to be a raw dish like tartare. However, we were so pleasantly surprised with the taste! We shared 3 of the desserts and all of them were heavenly! Such a delicious dinner, great service, and some great people watching as well! This was a dinner I will remember for a very long time!!

This was the most incredibly restaurant we enjoyed during our trip to Sydney. While the food was on…read morethe pricey side, we wanted to splurge on a fancy meal. This was the most highly rated restaurant in Surry Hills, and it exceeded all expectations. I cannot say enough great things about the duck slow cooked in plum sauce. It was perfectly seasoned with a bright, sweet plum glaze-- the meat was so tender that it fell off the bone. This was hands down the most delicious duck dish I have ever eaten. We enjoyed a handful of their appetizers (oyster shooters, mini pancakes with crème fresh, etc), all of which were incredible. Very grateful to our waiter for being so helpful with menu suggestions and accommodating one of the guests with a more complicated food palette. The ambience inside was intimate with low warm lightly. The music was classy and not too loud. Such a beautiful and memorable space.

My niece and I ate here on my last night of a two week trip to Australia. The meal was…read moreexceptional. The first course was termed snacks, and consisted of an oxtail skewer, a mini-crab tart, a slab of country bread, and a couple of pickle slices. We added two optional items to that: a grilled scallop with Nori butter and a Moreton Bay Bug. The two optional items were excellent. I enjoyed the other items as well but wished the oxtail skewer was served hotter. The next course was a sashimi-like preparation of tuna and scallop, served in a tomato water and accompanies by a thin thin flatbread and a horseradish sauce. At this point, we were happy, but when the next course came we crossed from happy into blown away. The main course was lamp rump crusted with a dill and tarragon mix, and served with Hasselback potatoes in a Comte cheese sauce. The lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful. The potatoes were CRAZY good. The photo that looks like croissants were the potatoes - maybe the best potatoes I've ever had. There was also a small tasty salad. At this point, we were getting full, but there was no way we were leaving a morsel of that main course behind. After the main course came a double dessert. One item was creme brulee, served with a fresh blackberry sauce. The other item was termed a petit four but was shaped more like a mini-muffin. It was a hazelnut based pastry served with a cream made of white chocolate and maybe ricotta or mascarpone. Whatever you want to call it, that petit four was unreal. It was SO good that neither of us left a crumb behind, and both of us concluded that we could eat one every day for the rest of our lives. From the name and the information I had about the menu from Instagram and other sources, I expected a very formal "white-table-cloth" atmosphere. Instead, the restaurant itself was small and casual, with half the dinner service provided on small outdoor tables on the sidewalk. That's not a complaint, just not what I expected. All in all, the meal was outstanding. A wonderful way to end a vacation.

With a prix fixe menu (AUD 85), all you have to decide is whether to eat here or not and whether to pair it with wine (AUD 70). If you choose the wine pairing, you will find that the pairing was thoughtful and generous. Here's what we ate and drank: Country Loaf with House Butter/Pickles/Snacks (fried tapioca and salmon with nori rice cracker) Cremant de Loire Farmhouse Terrine aux Fruits de Mer Manoella Duoro Branco Aylesbury Duck Breast & Confit Leg served with potatoes and leeks Pinot Noir Baba au Rhum + Orange & Yuzu gelatin Armagnac + fresh white grape juice Surprising me the most was the terrine aux fruits de mer because of the delicate texture and taste. While the baba au rhum was prepared well, I was more interested in the gelatin. Dining outside proved to be quite noisy with the ambulance, horn honking, and a motorcycle engine revving several times. For next time, I would choose indoors.

The food came quickly They put us right by the door, and we asked if we could move tables, to another one that was empty nearby that wasn't right in front of the door, but it was already reserved for someone else. Which would be fine, except they continually left the door open for at least 10 minutes at a time. In August, it's winter here, people! Luckily, the door/our seats were also right next to their open air kitchen, so it was fun seeing them prepare the food.
