How we read reviews →Two-hatted Asian-Australian fusion on Little Collins. the 14-day dry-aged duck steals the show.
Polished, dimly lit fine-dining room described as a 'serene retreat' with an open kitchen visible from chef's-counter seating. reviewers are split between finding it intimate and finding it cold or aloof depending on the service they received.
A dry-aging duck program, an open kitchen visible from bar/chef's-counter seats, sommelier wine pairings, and set-menu accommodation for gluten-free, no-pork and vegetarian diets.
Positioned as Asian-Australian fusion blending Chinese, Vietnamese and French technique (forbidden rice sourdough, claypot rice, pate en croute), though one reviewer felt it read as a fairly typical Asian-fusion menu without a distinct Australian signature.
Split opinion. many call the $125pp set menu excellent value for the creativity and portion size, while others felt à la carte pricing and surprise extra charges didn't match a middling experience.
