The dumplings were artistic and very tasty. Not to mention the waffle hearts, they were top notch and not overly sweet. Service was immaculate and the ambience was stunning. Really worth a try!

Overall great experience. Very busy just before Xmas and staff were lovely/ kept their cool under the pressure. Roast pumpkin salad with grilled salmon STUNNING as always. Only disappointment as the fries at $15 a bowl and there were lots of small, thinly cut chips that were over done, so at $15 and a third being inedible, that was not so good. But to sum up, terrific food and a great team.
