Mornington's art-deco Asian fusion bar pouring cocktails beside Peking duck pancakes and curries

Funky retro-maximalist fit-out in an older building with art deco touches, cocktail bar energy and DJ-driven weekends. Lively and social, with an upstairs space for group functions.

Upstairs function space for large groups, cocktail list with theatrical presentation, bottomless brunch, weekend DJs, set menus for large tables and a kitchen that has accommodated gluten free and garlic-and-onion allergies.

Pan-Asian share plates blending Chinese, Thai, Malaysian and Japanese influences rather than a single heritage. One diner of Asian background said the dishes felt like home.

Reactions are split. Many find drinks reasonably priced and portions generous, while others felt set-menu pricing near $59 per person and cocktails around $22 outpaced food quality.
