Kylie H Fish Tacos
My favourite bite of the night. The garlic cream was next-level and the consommé on the side gave it that rich depth. Crunchy, creamy, punchy perfection.

So fresh, so zesty and just the right amount of heat. The kind of starter that wakes up your taste buds in the best way.
Peta McConachie (Postcards from Peta) Wagyu Scotch Fillet
Juicy, charred and cooked beautifully. Loved the simple yet powerful flavour combo. That chimichurri is no joke.
