A long-regarded fine-dining restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its accomplished, produce-driven cooking — the kind of refined, special-occasion dining that's become a genuine destination for food lovers in the capital.
The appeal is that combination of skilful, seasonal cooking, an excellent wine list and an elegant yet relaxed setting, ideal for a celebration, a special occasion or a memorable meal. Its enduring reputation in a discerning part of Canberra speaks to the consistency and quality on offer.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners at a high level.
