Wow. Just wow - gorgeous space and beautiful and delicious food. I’m an omnivore but the feed me menu was very generous and has amazing dishes…couldn’t pick a favourite! Definitely come hungry as it’s a lot! Absolutely love the cocktails too - great service as well. My only regret is not being able to make room for dessert. Highly recommend for a date

Located in hipster centeal this is a yummy veggo set menu eats. The food was flavoursim though at times a little salty. Plated on an eclectic range of dishes and appeasing to the eye. A few variatons for the set menu we opted for the two course an extra side- pakoras which were yum. Lots of wine choices and a few cocktails and beers. Only one dessert sorry to say. Not cheap but good to treat yourself. All staff were charming and reflective of the locale. We advised in our booking it was our anniversary but wasnt acknowldged. A little noisy and the opening hours on door advise from 5pm but its 530pm.

Perfect place to take your besties or to impress your plant based date to a fancy/special dinner. We had the feed me menu and my gosh do they feed you! Every dish was presented in such a unique way which made the dining experience fun and unique. My favourite were the flat chickpea fries! So good!!

We booked for 6:30 on Sunday outside and it was completely empty. Just after ordering they seated a couple right next to us in a completely empty room. I found it odd when there was so many other spots available. They were loud and it was not an enjoyable experience. I had been here 3 years previously and had a great experience but the food this time did not equate to the money they were charging. A very simple tomatoes dish, not even cut nicely, with chimichurri sauce was 24$ and barely a whole two tomatoes which I don't think are real heriloom.The salad cut in half was fantastic as was the lions mane but the main sweet potato with extra 15$ truffles was not worth it. They grated the truffles and the flavour was barely there. Overall it was nice but we were charged 10$ for 2 glasses of sparkling water...

I have been here a few times over the years and it’s always a lovely time! The decor is dark and industrial, separated into a few sections so it feels like you’re sitting in an intimate restaurant wherever you are seated which is nice as it is a huge space.There is 2 feed me menu consisting of 2 courses or 3 courses, dessert is extra which is a little strange for a feed me menus, especially if that’s the only choices you have. You will not leave hungry if you opt for the 3 course one. Even for meat eaters you will be satisfied! The flavors are a mix of Asian and Mexican influenced. The flavors were done well and a good variety & use of all the ingredients to make the dishes.Standout dishes would be the crispy mushroom butter cup - so light & fresh with the crispy texture of the fried mushrooms.The profiteroles - the pastry was so light and the filling so fluffy, absolutely divine. The truffle panisse - it’s addictive and the truffle shavings on top was the perfect finishing touch. These are from the first course.The black pearl mushrooms in the third course - the sauce was delicious and reminded me of a traditional Chinese dish my mum would make!To finish we had the brownie which was so decadent and can easily be shared. The ganache and vanilla cream are a perfect accompaniment to break the density of the brownie. The poached pear is super rich and sweet, a little goes a long way.For drinks there is a great choice for wine. I myself am not into sweet drinks so a lot of the cocktails weren’t for me but the cherry Negroni hit the spot very well!Our waiter Luke was very friendly and efficient. He was very chatty and food came out in good timing and we were not left waiting for anything. Whether you are a meat eater or not. It is a great dining experience for everyone!

Transformer was a thrilling adventure into the unknown for us. The menu was thoughtfully crafted. Choosing the set menu gave us an entree to deliciousness, starting with knockout flavour combinations of our first 6 courses. And the delight continued with energizing and moorish mains. The generous serves were much appreciated but we'll have to go back for dessert.

Feed Me menu for dinner; it was fine.The starters were nicer and more interesting than the mains which seems to be the case with every feed me menu / degustation ever, unfortunately.Chickpea panisse were the standout. Loved them!Watched the waitress drop a knife on the floor whilst resetting an empty table nearby.. then proceed to still put it on the table instead of get a new one...And I ordered a glass of sake but received a cocktail (which was nice… but double the price and not what i felt like). So, service is lacking in depth of quality despite being friendly.Would return for casual drinks and snacks but wouldn’t come back for a special occasion.

The food was pretty average. There were some pretty unique flavour combinations but they just weren’t that tasty. I think they decided to use some wacky ingredients, call themselves fine dining, and double the price. We spent nearly $50pp on food and left feeling hungry. It wasn’t terrible but wasn’t great either.It was a bit disappointing because when I booked online I selected the checkbox to indicate we were celebrating my birthday, which the staff member also mentioned over the phone when I rang to confirm something, but it wasn’t acknowledged on the day. I was hoping for a happy birthday or a slice of cake or something, given the option is there in the booking system.
