   Unfortunately tapas style was not what we expected for a Japanese venue. Too many additives to the sushimi did not enhance it. The cauliflower was nice but complicated with lots of sauce and overly burnt ( by torch I assume.). The rice came at the end, a little late.

   Beef tartare, salmon tacos, chicken, salmon, and pork skewers… all yum!!! Great service, great location. Only complaint is the lighting could be much softer. A bit too bright and harsh. Food and service was excellent and I’m sure ambiance will only improve in time. Will be back!

   Food was tasty, beautifully cooked. Unfortunately it all came out at different times and order of food was not congruent. Eg, rice was delivered at the end of meal. Drinks were over priced, especially wine by the glass. Our table was far too small. Not enough room for plates and glasses and share plates. Table service was poor, our plates and glasses were not cleared and we felt ignored. There were too many customers, it felt very claustrophobic and the music choices were fine, but way too loud. Hopefully this feedback is constructive.

   What a fantastic Sunday lunch. We had the tasting menu, which was superb. The new look restaurant is moody colours with a nice looking bar and seating area. The place was not very busy so it was quiet and the music selection was perfect. The tasting menu covers seafood, chicken, steak and dessert. The highlights were the sashimi, BBQ prawns and the wagyu, though it was all very good. We started with cocktails, which were pretty but a bit weak flavoured for our tastes. We then enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine with the meal. Service was well paced, friendly and competent. We are looking forward to our next visit.

   Great new addition to Keira at dining. Standout was the spicy tacos and the corn ribs. The cocktails were outstanding!
