Trendy urban style attracts the young hip crowd. Service was fast and friendly and in terms of ambience it's fantastic to bring a partner for a first date. Sadly the food doesn't quite live up to expectations. Yuzu oysters were way too seasoned, the superbly fresh fat morsels drowned in a too briny concoction. Octopus salad again over seasoned, but tender and charred nicely. Pork belly a tad too dry.

Desserts were great though, salted caramel semifreddo was a well balanced sweet and savory caramel with sour stewed apples and crunchy chewy meringue. Overall food falls short of what could have been a real impresser.
