What to eat? Start with edamame beans with sea salt while you work out what to order.

Then impress your dining companions with a sashimi platter that comes out on a bed of dry ice ‚Äì it’s literally smoking. For mains, head chef Ian Pengelley is famous for his Thai basil, duck and watermelon salad and hoba miso Chilean seabass. Simply scrumptious!
