What to Order
Miso Dressed Radicchio Salad with Pralined Nuts
This salad offers a complex flavor profile with a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and acidic notes, complemented by varied textures.
"At the first bite of the miso dressed radicchio salad with pralined nuts I had to pause - the fullness of flavours, balance of textures and acids wrapped with umami made this dish stand out far beyond the menu's ingredients/description."

Gnocchi

Curtis Counts
Beef Tartare
A standout dish that impresses with its quality and preparation, often cited as one of the best by diners.
"I've never eaten such a delicious beef tartar, and the perfectly charred cauliflower was accompanied by a such a scrumptious romesco sauce that we mopped up every streak with bread before we would let the waiter take the plate away."

Oysters

"The oysters were tasty as well but their sauce for oysters may be improved."
