    Top quality service and exceptional food - also very impressed with recommended wines. We found the "Nordic Philosophy" extremely interesting and quite unique. Stephanie, who looked after our table, was delightful and very informative. Altogether, superb dinner for our Xmas Eve celebrations. Totally recommend for a most enjoyable evening.

    I had a memorable evening meal here. After stupidly eating a big lunch, I went for some lighter options. The oysters with mango and jalapeno were a gorgeous start, and the terrine was particularly good. Very respectful, polite service, friendly, and attentive without me feeling at all bothered. Nice decor and interesting art on the walls. I hadn't eaten Sturia Oscietra caviar before, but this was a special ocassion, so I splashed out. And I wasn't disapppointed. It was sensational - the kind of thing that makes you close your eyes and groan with each mouthful. The smoked sour cream was a lovely addition, though I went lightly with it to best enjoy the amazing melt-in-the-mouth feeling and complex flavour of the caviar. Without the aditional cost of the caviar, the prices were quite reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. I only wish I'd had enough appetite left for desert. Can't wait to return and try some of the heavier dishes.

    Wasn’t sure what to expect with Mordic cuisine but it was so great! Great selection and recommendations by staff ensured we had a great experience. We appreciated the cosy table downstairs which allowed us to chat away in low noise environment. Can’t wait to return!

    Delicious food and cocktails. The Caviar Waffles, oysters and avocado dishes were outstanding. Service was polite, efficent and not bothersome. Sitting at the kitchen counter was dynamic and a good experience. I visited from Sydney and will definately come back.

    Fabulous meal and service. Lots of vegetarian options. Only criticism was the exorbitant cost for using a credit card. That is just rude as everyone uses credit cards. If l had know there would not have been a tip.
