Small & lowkey restaurant with a rotating menu. Every dish we ordered was creative & delicious. Its small plates that you can share with seasonal ingredients. Our favourite dishes were the stracciatella, the broccolini & the beef salad. The flavours were unique & all the elements complimented each other. They also have a good drink selection. Service was also very friendly but food did come out slowly. Would definitely recommend to a foodie!

I came here a little while ago for my birthday & it was a perfect experience! Small, intimate environment (most of the seating is at the bar with just two or so tables) & a super convivial vibe. The food was SO GOOD. The plates are shareable & have unique flavour profiles that meld very well together. The cocktails are also impeccable. Will be thinking of that stracciatella forever… 10000% recommend, definitely a little gem

Everything was SUPERB. From the service, to the unique wine list & the food was out of this world. Each dish was delicious & beautifully presented. I liked that there's vegan, vegetarian & pescatarian friendly options. If you're thinking of going this is your sign.

Went there for the bao buns & matcha pop up, drinks were amazing & so was the food ! Super flavorful & unique. Service was as fast as can be during a pop up, limited seating but we really enjoyed the vibe.
