AI Summary

Collingwood two-hat degustation den famed for celeriac soup and its theatrical black box dessert.

Dark, moody and intimate degustation room that encourages conversation, though several reviewers note the open kitchen and bar-entry layout can get noisy at full capacity.

Six and twelve-course tasting menus, a weekly steak night, sommelier-guided wine pairings, a theatrical 'black box' dessert reveal and a puzzle box to close the meal.

A Modern Australian tasting menu drawing on European technique (parfait, consomme-style broths) and light Asian influence (miso, yuzu, dashi) rather than one national lineage.

Degustation runs roughly $88-$290pp depending on the menu and night; reviewers are split between praising the creativity and criticising pacing or portion size against the price tag.
