Menu

Our menu is a collection of fresh California-inspired fusion cuisine. A mixture of influences to deliver food that tastes good to the eye and the stomach – with a natural taste, smell, texture and much character. Of course it must be beautiful too!

We also offer specials that will only be listed in the restaurant.

Please note that we make every effort to keep the online menu updated, however if items and prices differ from that in the restaurant, then the in-house menu & prices stand.

We ask that a minimum 10% gratuity be added to all bills, which all goes towards paying our team. A 12.5% gratuity will be added to tables of 10 or more.
