"Chef Peter Hemsley’s Aphotic has made quite a splash since its opening in March 2023, having already gained a coveted Michelin star and an award for its sustainability efforts. The menu swarms with seafood from start to finish, including dessert. Pastry chef Deirdre Balao Rieutort-Louis offers up an elegant oyster ice cream served in a delicate half-shell and paired with an airy citrus foam intended to echo the usual mignonette." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
