The kitchen pairs local produce with global technique: a tagliatelle with Angus ragu and a slow-cooked lamb are the plates guests name most, with ultra-fresh herbs, citrus and vegetables from local growers and the restaurant's greenhouse. The kitchen describes its style as light and honest rather than heavy, and the menu shifts with the seasons. Wine is given equal billing alongside the food.
