"I’d had this one on the list to try for 6 months after it opened and finally got out here on a stunning winters afternoon after a trip up the Skypoint tower to see the view. Now we’ve been once we’ll certainly be back, there’s not a single thing on their menu I don’t want to order. It’s not surprising we rate this little gem with our triple love of (a) share plates (b) Asian fusion and (c) pillowy soft cloud-like bau filled with incredible flavours and textures."
