What to Order
Oysters

Prawn Rolls
These prawn rolls feature crisp, bouncy prawns mixed with an addictive lemon mayo, crisp celery and lettuce, all nestled in a buttery brioche bun.
"My personal favourites were the tuna tartare and the prawn rolls."

Tuna Tartare
A flavorful and well-executed dish, the tuna tartare is a popular choice among patrons for its fresh taste and quality.
"We only got to try tuna tartare and the bread & butter, amazing sourdough we both loved it and ordered second round."

Seared Humboldt Squid
This dish showcases tender Humboldt squid with a sweet seafood umami, complemented by a sweet prawn bouillabase sauce, gai lan, and fingerling potatoes.
"In a close second place, the Humboldt squid is anything but humble. No hesitation whatsoever in showcasing its sweet seafood umami with a ridiculously tender texture."

Scallop & Prawn Ceviche
A refreshing and perfectly portioned dish, the ceviche offers a delightful blend of scallops and prawns with a well-balanced flavor profile.
"My favourite main dish out of everything I got was the Scallop & Prawn Ceviche, the flavour profile matched my preferences exactly."
