Always the most delicious incredible meals. We loved celebrating the end of the year at our favourite restaurant in Sydney! We eat there every time we visit and haven’t once been disappointed. The food is flavourful, fresh and unique. We sat at the bar and loved looking at all of the spirits, fermentation jars and ingredients being used. Thanks for having us!
