Wow, actually the most incredible meal I've ever had. The dessert is otherworldly, the perfect end to the tasting menu and the atmosphere is incredible, helped by the lovely wait staff.Absolutely worth every penny, I will be coming back again.

First off, and surprisingly given the nature of the food, it was an utterly unpretentious experience. No stony faced waiters, no cold formal ambience, just a genuinely relaxed evening with warm and friendly staff. The kind of place (if not for the smart dress code) which makes you feel you could pop in for a quick bite to eat in your comfies!We went for the permanent collection with the prestige drinks pairing. I hadn't looked at the menu ahead of time so every time the table was reset for the next course, I was excited to see what I was going to get. And I wasn't disappointed. The food and presentation was delicious and just a whole lot of fun. My particular favourite was the pate and caviar!OK, it isn't cheap, but think of it as paying for an experience where the food is just included. We were there for about 3.5 hours in total and enjoyed every second. We were told they're due to launch a new menu, so I have no doubt we'll be back!

Wow! What can I say….an excellent culinary experience.We had the taster menu with matching wine pairings and we were blown away with the food and drinks we were served.Not everything was as it seemed, but that’s the skill of the chefs and Michael O’Hare (who we actually met!).Highly recommend, it is expensive but you get what you pay for, the service from start to finish was impeccable.

First visit in 2021 was exceptional. Second visit booked as the restaurant is closing in its current format, I thought it would be nice to experience with my partner for the last time.The food was very good, up to normal standards; however it seems the service has significantly dropped off.Wait times in between courses were overly long, my partner was not being asked for drink top ups (she wasn’t drinking alcoholic drinks, I did the standard pairing) and when she did order it took far to long for her to be served (apologies received numerous times). Tables who came an hour after us caught us up and paid their bill at the same time.The ambient room temperature was also a little low, my partner did state to me she was cold during the course of the meal.All I’ll say, if you have previous positive memories of the restaurant, don’t bother coming along in its final weeks of opening, leave them in your memory bank… shame really.

Hands down without a doubt one of the most delicious and amazing experiences i've ever had. Food was exquisite, as were the drinks pairing. Service was totally on point. Well worth a visit for a very special occasion.

Bit late given that the concept is changing at the end of the year but I've been here twice and absolutely adored it both times.One of my favourite tasting menus, so creative.

We had a phenomenal first experience at the restaurant after plenty of raved recommendations. The service was highly attentive and the food was created with so much flare & flavour that cannot be faulted. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

It's a once in a lifetime experience, hence I wouldn't go back.I commend the owner to reset the experience from next year.I too agree that the days of these 4 hour eating extravaganzas are over.People want nice food, quicker and less expensive.But I'm very glad I've been.

Luxury food experience. I wouldn't compare it to just having a meal out at a restaurant, this place is an experience and worth every penny. The staff are above and beyond, knowledgeable, friendly and charming. The atmosphere was exciting and warm. The food was exceptional obviously but also surprising and intuitive. Honestly the guys a genius.
