The place is interestingly half street level and half basement in an old townhouse. They serve Japanese fusion and brunch food. Price is quite expensive even for a posh burb but the service is unimpressive. Every one is like I will be back. Katsu chicken roll is tasty.

Incredibly delicious lunch in an uplifting open garden courtyard setting. The grilled calamari salad offered the most tender calamari I’ve ever eaten that paired beautifully with the lime, mint, coriander, cucumber, sugar snap peas, vermicelli noodles, and peanuts salad. Our server, Sergio was so kind, hospitable, and made our experience so special. Will come back for lunch again soon.

I have had the ricotta pancakes, lobster scramble and nourish bowl and all were tasty. Coffee also good. However would say it’s on the pricey side.

Up there with the best ricotta hotcakes I've had! The green bowl wasn't available at 10am? The waitress didn't disclose why but my guess was they ran out of produce? They served an alternative which was basically a whole bowl of kale and 1 egg. This needed some work - additional flavours, textures and perhaps another egg? Especially given its price point. Otherwise, the atmosphere was great and the hostess was very friendly.
