What to Order
Chicken
This chicken dish is celebrated for its perfect cooking, juicy texture, and rich flavor, often highlighted as superior to other well-known establishments.
"The chicken was perfect (better than famous Bernhardts imo). It was juicy, flavourful, and hot (temperature wise)"
Eileen Kim
Clam Spaghetti / Vongole
A pasta dish featuring clams, praised for its amazing flavor profile with earthy tones and fresh herbs.
"We had the crudo and whipped bread, and the chicken and Vongale which was so amazing! So many herbs and earthy tones."
Nicole Panacci
Steak Tartare
A well-executed steak tartare, noted for its delicious taste, though some prefer a creamier and more acidic version.
"Great steak tartare, the main chicken dish was okay."
Jay

Inside Scoop
- Reservations for 2-3 guests are allotted a 2-hour seating window, but you might be asked to leave slightly before the full two hours.
- The restaurant can get uncomfortably warm due to the oven, so consider sitting outside in summer.
- The sticky toffee pudding is not a traditional sticky toffee pudding and has been a point of disappointment for some.
- Portion sizes can be small, especially for vegetarian diners, and there's limited vegetarian entree options.
- The atmosphere is serene and moody, making it a perfect spot for a date night.
