This ultra-intimate lounge has a mere 12 seats, though the small size belies big flavour. Creative sharing plates and three-course ever-changing chef’s menu keep those in the know returning regularly. Servers share their impressive wine knowledge making pairings easy. Staples include elegant steak tartare, Moroccan meatballs in a spiced sauce, topped with mint and zingy feta and flawless torched tuna with black garlic.
