bready goodness hoho look a whole pot of butter!


Ginger spiced Carrot Veloute was surprisingly spicy and smooth. the jumbo prawn was peppery and fried to a gorgeous crisp


Salad of Asparagus, Baby Beets, Goats Curd and micro herbs. i wouldve preferred the salad to come as a side with the mains rather than a course and im not usually a fan of beets or goats cheese but this salad was very moreish especially with the nuggets of crispy golden croutons hidden within.


Tartare of Kingfish with a Lime, Shallot and Chilli marinated Eggplant Pickle. loved loved loved the kingfish, delicately flavoured and perched upon thin slivers of avocado


Crisp Confit of Duck with Seared Scallop and Truffle Jus. i strained my tastebuds but try as i might i couldnt taste any truffle resemblance anywhere but the mash was to die for i scrapped the plate clean and was very close to asking for more! the scallop was perfectly seared on the outside and soft on the inside, the duck was golden and tender with the crispy fatty goodness of skin saved to the very end


Stockyard Wagyu on a roast field mushroom, garlic and spinach with a red wine sauce. this australian wagyu was deliciously tender and juicy shame about the random dollop of spinach but the mushroom was earthy and perfectly seasoned


Expresso and Banana Parfait with a dark chocolate sorbet. ohhh man the parfait was brilliant! packed full of bananary goodness with a hint of coffee and the sorbet was smooth and creamy and disappeared way too fast mmm
