Reviews
"This is about as good as it gets. The food is all about freshness, style and presentation. And here one of Auckland's finest chefs gives a lesson in how to create smaller dishes with balanced flavours and textures that can be savoured and shared with friends."
"James makes Auckland feel like a bigger city than it really is. It's in a bunker-style building, a concrete block that was once a steel mill at the bottom of Parnell rise, flanked by advertising agencies. Inside, the world outside disappears, and you're ensconced in a stark space, moodily lit and softened by wonderfully camp touches..."
"This is glossy, heady dining, good food and a neat segue between cosy dining and full on luxury fare..."
