                                Fish and bison were cold. Expect more when ordering a $70 dollar steak. Not acceptable.

                                We had the tasting menu. The braised lamb was outstanding. It would have been nice though to have something alongside it - a vegetable or something. We tried to order bread to soak up the delicious jus - the had sold out of their focaccia. They''d also sold out of the wine we wanted to order a bottle of. The starter of duck spring roll roll was good but not memorable. Nice ambience, quite busy and noidy especially for a Tuesday night

                                Food was good, but not what we expected (expected great). Burger was a bit overcooked. Omelette was awesome and Benny had good flavor and presentation. Potato rosti was the best part. Intimate and cozy environment!

                                Ordered Fable breakfast with a choice of sausage. The sausage was great but small. A bit disappointed that scrambled eggs couldn't be replaced by egg white only. Sourdough is good and deep fried potatoes are really crunchy. Overall it is good but nothing that special!

                                Tasting menu was a little disappointing. Two springs rolls cut in half; a pierce of lamb left in a sous vide way to long, disintegrated into the texture of a processed meat patty (heaps of cilantro on top, no sides), and three chocolates for dessert. $50 is inexpensive but when you break down what was served, the economy of scale was off. The pork chop was the winner. Will go with standard proteins next time and a side. Wine list was all basic wines you find at BCL and nothing inspiring. Cocktails were delish.

                                I took my cousin for lunch and unfortunately, she found two hairs in her burger. They took it off the bill, which was nice but still it ruined the meal.
