    All the staff in were so friendly and engaging. Love the decor and lighting that comes through the restaurant, tables are spaced out appropriately as well. The food... honestly, everything that we ordered and came out was perfectly balanced and not bland or too salty. I had the for entree the Panelle Salmon Cavier (eaten in 2 bites... give me more!) and the buratta (very refreshing). For main, ordered their signature squid ink crab tonnarelli (delicious!). The sauce was creamy with the right amount of salt without losing the taste of the crab and sea. perfectly cooked, al dente xx - definitely a place I would like to revisit/eat at again... soon.

    Food was very good. Roast Murray cod was a highlight, snapper crudo had a little too much citrus for our taste, but everything else we had was fab. We were celebrating an anniversary and received a complimentary dessert (strawberry bavarois thing) which turned out to be our favourite dish of the night. Brownie was also great, though very rich. Our server was exceptional (attentive, helpful and friendly without being overbearing). Would go again.
