Went there with certain dietary requests. The staff almost bent over backwards to fulfil them for me. I was very impressed with this. The food although well made and of quality, is a little all over the shop. Sometimes it's Japanese, sometimes it's French, sometimes Modern Australian. I really think the place would sell better if they specialised a bit more on a certain style of food.

Also, a few cobwebs here and there need to be cleaned. Besides that, I had a wonderful dining experience, and would love to go again.

We went there on a Thursday night and tried their 6th year anniversary degustation menu. It was the best food that I have ever had. The chef masterfully creates a delicious dainty food one after another. All 6 meals is just exquisite. On top of that, the service is so excellent. The waitresses are very polite and friendly.

The degustation that last until the end of August is a perfect value. Otherwise, they also have a two dinner course for around $40. This place is really worth trying for those who love food as an art as well as those who just love food.

Went last night and very happy to find the degustation 6 course meals is only $38 per person for June/July and it's really good. Plum wine starter (shot glass), nice. Great garlic bread next and a short black size cup of lobster bisque. Rich and good. Lamb entree was probably stand out while prawn entree was only let down as just tasted like a good but plain prawn.

Mains : seafood bag, delicious - beautiful quite buttery which probably makes it so nice. Wagyu beef skewer damn nice too. Everything was cooked perfectly. Can't remember the dessert, I must have drunken too much by then but my girlfriend assures me dessert and coffee was also excellent, all up around $100 for 2 including 2 coffees, BYO and tip. I will be back for sure. Great service too.

My husband took me here this weekend. The restaurant was fabulous ! The ambience was perfect, the staff attentive and the food amazing. I had the pate starter and my husband the blue swimmer crab pasta. My husband opted for the Lamb main and I had the grain fed steak. I have never tatsted lamb or steak so divine. It was cooked to perfection and would just melt in your mouth.

The staff really did take care of us, they noticed when I had run out of crostini and offered more to go with my pate, our wine was refilled when needed. The whole evening was so enjoyable and I have recommended this place to every friend I have seen since.

The price is reasonable also. We took our own wine and the bill was $80, we left $100 and still felt it very good value. I cannot wait to go back and think we'll try the degustation menu.

Fantastic, fantastic! Took a punt on previous reviews and booked for 4 on Friday evening. From the moment we walked in where we were greeted at the door I have never received such attentive and genuinely friendly service for the few hours we spent there. We tried the wagyu beef, seafood in a paper bag and pasta with crab dishes - sensational.

I lapped up the attention I was given by the lovely Japanese waitresses unfortunately Neecy didn't share my enthusiasm while my niece, lil Scorp must have found something special in the bathroom since we lost her for half the night to make a phone call. This place is truly worth the experience and for $50 per head covering entree, main, dessert, wine and drinks is good value these days. In the words of big Arnie - “I’ll be back".

This is a hidden gem in Coogee! Firstly I was addicted to the paperbag salmon (moist salmon with lots of flavour), until I tried the lamb salad, and then got hooked on the spaghetti with crab! All beautiful! And if you like pate, you must have the generous helping of home made pate with home made crostini's. Scrumptious!

A rare gem in Coogee! The food here is amazing, although the menu is slightly limited. Cooked to perfection, the portion sizes may look small but you always leave satisfied.

The blue swimmer crab spaghetti is so fresh and tasty, and their wagyu beef skewer is always 'melt in the mouth'. Simple, fresh, perfectly prepared meals, interesting extras and an intimate outdoor area make for a great dining experience.

My partner and I dined here last Sat night. It was so nice! At first I was a little put off by the very small menu and the fact they didn't have a couple of things on it. However once the natural and kilpatrick oysters came out, I suddenly forgot about that.... the oysters were divine!

We also ordered Garlic Bread, which was also so superb that we ordered a second round to have with our main! Yum!!! My main was the salmon, well done but still a little moist - my partner got the steak which he also loved. Entree, Mains, 2 x garlic bread servings and a bottle of white for $120! Highly recommended!!!! oh and you need to book...

I love a good steak and I am making the call right now. The Tenderloin in Wasabi butter sauce is the best steak in Sydney. I have had the steak there on numerous occasions and is consistently the softest, most awesome steak I have ever had.

Fantastic night out with our executive team. There were 9 of us at the table and everyone commented on the quality of the food.
