    A venue to book ahead months in advance to get it. Kitchen extremely organised with fantastic choices, all food arrived quickly and well timed and prepared perfectly. Staff were attentive and welcoming. For a venue within QPAC servicing the urgency of an enjoyable meal and a deadline for the show commencement, they have this down pat. Never had a bad experience, almost like the best of the best want to be part of this establishment. Thank you Chefs.

    Will definitely go again! The staff and ambience were fantastic. It was a relaxing aesthetically pleasing restaurant/bar. The food was 11/10. We had the Zen Garden high tea. It was enough food for two and so delicious. Served with tea and prosecco - both also delicious. The price was very fair and I have no complaints. I recommend this place to anyone wanting delicious food, a celebration or even a quiet and delicious meal whilst you work (there were others in the bar at the tome working in their laptops and eating). The staff were so friendly and attentive, without being over bearing. This seems like a great place to just go for a drink as well.
