What a brilliant gem in Canberra!! It is not usual to find this quality food and service with this price. The food was divine, and the matching wines were absolutely amazing to have with your course. The food menu was developed by the owner, and we definitely tasted how experienced she was, and how she put her passion in it. It was such a gorgeous food experience. I'll definitely go back, and I highly recommend this place.

The venue itself was nice, good atmosphere, with high-backed chairs and table in a hollow square shape around a bartender/waiter. Wait staff were also friendly and attentive.
This is not a venue that affords privacy as the table is a continuous bar that others sit around. There are some tables for 4 people that are connected to the bar - everyone else was on the bar and in full view of each other. This didn't affect our experience but worth noting.
The only issue was with the price for what you get. The food was delicious and it was clear a lot of preparation and thought had gone into the dishes - unfortunately the portions were unsatisfyingly quite small for the higher cost per plate when compared to similar fine dining venues.

Great restaurant for a dine in experience, the manager and staff were friendly and warm welcomed.
We ordered the chef menu of 6 courses
1. Figs
The flavor was great, but I never tried a cooked fig, so it was a bit odd for me. But a good experience tho.
2. Scallop
Scallops were cooked and covered with black sesame, I like this dish since it gives an unique flavour to scallops which you don't usually get.
3. Stracciatella
The combination with fried cauliflower was just great, if you eat the stracciatella with the cauliflower, it gives so much texture and flavour in your mouth.
4. Red snapper
The snapper was cooked perfectly and tender. This is my top dish for the night.
5. Pork
It was a char siu with apple mustard sauce, a bit odd for me. But overall ok.
6. Black Angus
Well cooked, but it doesn't give me the great experience like the stracciatella or red snapper did.

Didn't quite hit the mark for me but I only tried 4 dishes. For example, the duck breast was perfectly smoked and succulent, but it came on a bed of risoni and deep fried eggplant with some other veges that I felt pretty meh about. The pork again I wasn't wowed by, but the sauce was lovely. Lamb shanks also just a pass.
Dessert was perfect.
Might need to amend the review when I try a few more dishes. Could have given a 4, just not feeling it tonight. My friends have been here a few times, they loved it so maybe I just don't get it.

Some of the dishes were very good but agree with comments about the size of the dishes. We ordered the lamb and received 3 small pieces between the four of us although it was nice. Gnocchi and pork dish were ok. This is my second visit but probably my last as there are better value options in the city.

Some really great dishes here, was very impressed. Interesting combination of taste and textures that didn't feel like just following everyone else's trend

I dislike going out and having food I can cook at home. Not this time!!! We chose the tasting menu with paired wines. It was superb . So delicious - every dish was clever, tasty and perfect portions. Wines were complimentary and we finished with the chocolate mousse. What a fun find for a visit to Canberra. Thankyou 💕🤩🍷🌝

An incredible experience with the 6 course tasting menu and 5 accompanying paired wines (the first wine accompanied two starting dishes but was a larger serving size than the other glasses). The food was all delicious, came quite quickly but still took us almost the full two hours to get through, and service was lovely. We opted for extra chips and also added a dessert to share between two. Was extremely full but it qas worth it as it was all delicious!
It is a top quality dining experience and yet the environment feels chic, casual and comfortable. Seating for two is bar style, side by side rather than opposite each other. Maximum group table size seemed to be for 5.
