So, $30 to sample everything at lunch sounds like the next best idea. Jetsetting Joyce Hi Ruth

The "sharing plates" are smaller (but still quite substantial) versions of the regular dishes, at about $10-$15 each. Really good value. With a group of friends, you could easily sample everything on the menu, plus sides, for about $30 each. .-= Ruth´s last blog ..<a href="http://ruthlessreads.tumblr.com/post/349755305">The youngest food blogger in Melbourne?</a> =-.

I can only think of one other restaurant in the city that focuses on native foods (Tjanabi at Fed Square) and I think it would be great if restaurant embraced the ingredients more often. The kangaroo was definitely a highlight! Jetsetting Joyce Hi Gabby

The food looks amazing - the sort of fare you'd normally only find in north Queensland. Can't wait to try the kangaroo dish! Is this the same Damian Styles who was founding chef at Taxi, Fed Square?
