    Love the charming theme and great cocktails. Went for Wednesday steak night and it was delicious. Skinny fries were yummy too. Service was super slow last night. Hope it doesn't happen again!

    Beautifully moody & sombre atmosphere, great list of Gin cocktails, liquid nitrogen bar and the most delectable food. The service was good. The food and wine was divine. Highly recommend it.

    My God, the food is good. And totally unrecognisable from its American diner origins. Scampi - amazing; mac and cheese - awesome (although penne not mac); succotash - great; maple bacon - too salty :(

    The two Japanese inspired cocktails are fabulous. Others on menu - including signature sorbet cocktail - is much too sweet for my liking. Duck liver parfait was excellent.

    Specialised cocktails and jazz. Tucked away, it's loud and lively, dark and fun. Food was delicious if a little overpriced (small bowl of fries was $10, even smaller bowl of chips was $8)

    Home of the world's first 'liquid nitrogen bar trolley'. Anything on the cocktail menu is a little bit awesome but start with the hearty Graduate if it's your first time.

    Steak night. First one was cold. Second one had loads of inedible parts. Collard greens were almost inedibly hard and raw. Ok fries. Any green peppercorns in my sauce?! AVOID for food. Cocktails ok.

    Re-imagined 1,3 and 4 are really strong - you might get drunk with one cocktail!

    Good cocktails but sad that everything that made this place special is now gone. No mixing at the table. No special glasses. Like a regular bar these days.

    They do great cocktails with 'dark' spirits. You could never go wrong with their 'old fashioned'.

    Mad-scientist-style cocktails are made using such ingredients as liquid nitrogen. Try the Martini of Tomorrow.

    Order a drink made with liquid nitro and revel in your own yuppiness.

    This new bar harks back to the days in Kings Cross when dinner and drinks meant something more than a taco and a shot. Read more

    Unfortunately the quality of the drinks have declined significantly. The steak is really chewy and overcooked.
