First time here and we were very impressed. The service was excellent from start to finish with professional friendly staff. For entrees we had the pork and cauliflower. The pork was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy and bursting with well balanced flavour. The cauliflower was complex and worth consuming slowly to take in the different flavours. For mains we had barramundi and wagyu. The barramundi was perfectly cooked and tasty, The wagyu was apparently cooked on the Hibachi and it was the standout dish. Paired with crispy potatoes and salad with premium olive oil it came pre-sliced so no cutting was required, and made it a pleasant eating experience. It didn’t taste fatty with the marbling simply adding to the flavour. This is a dish worthy of awards. The only disappointment was the side of mash potatoes. It came in a pool of liquid butter but even taking spoonfuls from the top the balance was wrong - too rich. Overall if you are seeing a show at HOTA plan dinner here first and you won’t be disappointed.

The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish showcasing a level of creativity and innovation that went far beyond the ordinary. The flavors were bold yet balanced, and the presentation was nothing short of artful. It’s clear the kitchen takes pride in pushing culinary boundaries while maintaining impeccable taste. The staff were friendly, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were spot-on, and they made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal. Overall, this restaurant is a gem—a perfect blend of imaginative cuisine, outstanding service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable and elevated dining experience.

Unforgettable, and unmissable. We're from Melbourne and would easily fly up here just for a meal. Everything from the warm, friendly, fun service; to the amazing food, to the superb wine pairing, to the literal art on a plate, this is a must-try! Deserves all of the three chef hats, and for AU$150 (excl. wine) you'd be hard pressed to find any fine dining restaurant in the world that has prices like this. Also, shout out to Faith, she's our fave, so fun and infectious.

Food is outstanding, good cooking skill, good ingredients, creative menu. We have set dinner, 2 course with 1 glass of wine, $80 per person barramundi fish was cooked perfectly with pickle carrots 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟5 out of 5 stars. cheese toast with sour dough bread with few different cheeses, it was delicious. Dessert was good too, sweetness was just right. They are allergy friendly restaurant and will try their best to accommodate your needs. Good service and friendly staff. We enjoy the dinner and will definitely try their signature “Testing Menu” next time.

Had a fabulous pre show dinner here. It is in a modern and sculptural area, it has a lovely atmosphere. The food was 10/10! I had the fish, which was cooked excellently and very flavourful. The chicken dish was savory and hearty. Our cheese toasty dessert was buttery and crunchy and we finished off with a beautiful and fresh mango and raspberry number. Would definitely come back!
