Cozy environment very comfortable and warm. Service was great. We had an array of food simply delicious. Suits either eating for one at the bar, or tables inside or outside for the street view. Delicous food... wine by the glass or cocktails.

Description
We are located in a heritage townhouse just off Taylor Square at the axis of Paddington, Darlinghurst and Surry Hills with comfortable counter-top dining, a garden terrace and an intimate dining room, also available for private hire. We are thrilled to have one of Australia’s most experienced chefs, Jamie Irving (previously Berta, Est, Pearl) heading up our kitchen. Together our goal is to champion the exceptional ingredients of this great continent through a changeable menu of sharing plates. Our kitchen stays open throughout the day and late into every evening, and is a locals favourite restaurant in Surry Hills.
