There are long queues during peak hours (they don't take reservations) but you can order wine while waiting otherwise try to dine early or late. The seafood dishes are my favourite and they have a specials menu that changes. We had the tuna tataki (asian inspired... More

Had a great lunch this week. Excellent menu. The chicken thigh is out of this world, such immense flavours. Freshly cooked food in a busy environment. Superb. Will be back soon.
