We loved the chefs selection menu, plenty of yummy food for two big eaters. Highlights were the charcoal chicken with crispy roast potatoes and the lamb mince dip.

It was refreshing to find a Filipino restaurant while visiting Melbourne, so I had to try it out! My husband and I did the Tasting Menu w/wine, and it was phenomenal! Each dish was so delicious, well made and presented not only visually, but with thoughtful information from a staff member about the dish. Dishes had flavors that took me back to memories of sharing meals with my family in the Philippines, as well as at home in the US with my dad cooking his favorite Filipino dishes. This dining experience taught me that food is more than just for eating; it's a celebration of culture, family, heritage, and all that binds those things together. Salamat Po to chef and owner, John Rivera and his team for quite a memorable dinner and evening.

My wife and I dined with two friends. The restaurant is in a 19th century house. It is very pleasant. Service was friendly and efficient. Very informative about the food and wines. The oysters were excellent. Stuffed zucchini flowers were excellent. Duck breast was cooked perfectly and was accompanied with a reduction and rhubarb sauce that were very flavorful. Overall, a wonderful experience.
