Quotes

"Behind the woodcock is a lot of thought, a lot of classical training and a restaurant experience for those passionate about flavour"... " North is a talented bloke and no slouch in the kitchen his skills are so sharp you can cut yourself just thinking about them"... " North's style is reminiscent of English-French food, popularised by Marco Pierre White and now Gordon Ramsay".
Mathew Evans Good Living

"This is beautifully crafted food that shows a maturity well beyond the chefs years, presented with flair and balance in flavour…simply stunning. We just love it!"
Eat&Drink.com

"The food is French / Mod Oz and nothing short of superb, presented with flair"... "One of the few places where main courses are every bit as good as the entrees. Desserts, so often the weak link, shine"... "Value for money is astounding".
Franz Scheurer - Australian Gourmet Pages

"This is beautiful food, a reminder of what a revelation French cooking can be when artfully prepared in a modern, Sydney context".
Kerry Boyne Sunday Telegraph

"North's classical training shines from every plate – evident from beaming faces around the room"... "Intelligent seamless service, and a remarkable-value bill just adds to the overall pleasure. A true gem"!
Jane Adams – Cuisine Magazine

"When you discover a great new restaurant, there's always the temptation to keep it to yourself. Particularly when there's wonderfully crafted French food in a low key dining space. "
