“Great new option in Otari, warm stylish setting…
Tasty affordable flavors, highly recommend..”
Jason MartinDiner

“What a fantastic place. I wasn't expecting such wonderful food in small town Tsugaike. The roasted pumpkin labneh dukkah was particularly good. Staff were really friendly and the place has a modern jazzy vibe.”
Daniel ChanFamily

“Exactly what Tsugaike needs, a cosy restaurant with great atmosphere and the best wines. The food was delish and very reasonably priced.”
