The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Ask to sit at the counter so you can watch the team in front of your eyes prepare every course in the expansive open kitchen. It serves a creative 10+ course tasting menu that changes from time to time, and uses influences from around the world. One standout is white chocolate bread pudding with nitro foie gras – an intriguing contrast of textures and an unusual combination that works; round it out with their rich and fragrant milk tea blend.
