They boldly present 'inspired-from-everywhere' menus & exquisite new combinations that electrified my tastebuds. Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes a special dynamite duo, like Rob & Kim, to catch everyone's heart, over & over again. To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently, is an art. The new menu has splendid offerings, such as the breathtaking STUFFED FIGS, filled with Goat Cheese, walnuts, raisins & prosciutto, amid a delicious Melba Sauce.

They believe in the philosophy of cookery, that everything should be prepared from scratch. The awesome CRAB CAKE & Chipotle Sauce overwhelmed our senses. The kitchen team with the inventive & artistic Chef Sal, follows the seasons & makes foods taste the way they are supposed to taste...
