We were drawn to this restaurant by its highly-praised burgers. The spacious interior, featuring an open-plan layout, abundant greenery, and ample seating, is both inviting and airy. The open kitchen, a definite plus, allows diners to observe the culinary preparations firsthand.
The Food:
While the menu extends beyond burgers to include appetizers, pizzas, steaks, and seafood, our focus remained firmly on the Wagyu burger, a signature dish. Each burger is served with a side. The burger's presentation was excellent: a juicy patty nestled within a perfectly toasted brioche bun. The Wagyu patty possessed a rich, meaty flavor, though it lacked the expected succulence and tenderness; the texture was somewhat coarsely ground, with noticeable chunks of meat. However, the sauce, along with the addition of sweet onion jam and bacon, considerably enhanced the burger's overall flavor profile, complementing the cheese and vegetables to create a satisfying culinary experience. The accompanying signature salad, featuring cabbage and beans with crispy fried onions, was a delightful addition.
We also sampled the prawns in a lemon-butter sauce. While the prawns themselves were small and served in their shells (requiring some peeling), they were expertly cooked; the sauce worked exceptionally well with the delicate prawn meat.
Service:
The service was friendly and efficient, with our server offering helpful recommendations. Despite a slightly longer than average wait time, the overall dining experience felt relaxed and welcoming.
Conclusion:
This restaurant offers a pleasant ambiance and delicious food, creating a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. We'd be keen to try their other burger offerings, hoping to encounter a more tender patty. Highly recommended, particularly if you are in the neighborhood.
