    The guacamole is amazing here, after having nachos to start I ordered another bowl of guac to go with my meal. Great in summer too just hide away and sit outside by the canal.

    Tried a few starters & mains all delicious - though I recommend having a fish dish as well so not too heavy - esp with sides (which you want to, great mac & slaw) eat more starters than desserts

    Hidden behind Kings Cross station in a striking modernist building just by the canal, the perfect setting for an intimate date or special celebration. The crab burger is a signature dish. Get it.

    On our table we had the ceviche,prawn fritters and cod croquettes. I left nothing. The Fernet Branca float was a biblical experience. We had a great meal in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

    Watch the swans by the canal, drink the Asahi, have the fried chicken and corn. Great place if the sun is shining. Doesn't accept cash tho so be warned.

    Hot wings were amazing and the soft shell crab burger was a revelation. Don't miss the jalapeño and maple slaw either!

    Definitely have more than one Habanero Margarita or a Rock Hill, a bourbon, Benedictine and Martini blend was perfect to sip outside watching the canal life go by Read more

    Chicken wings and the soft shell crab burger with avocado are worth the visit. Good cocktails. But give a miss to fried chicken

    Tucked away in a lovely intimate hideaway by the canal. Ambience is great in the evening. Food is pretty unique but nothing exceptional.

    Buzzy place with a good vibe. The food is decent, not amazing but Robbie behind the bar will make up for any shortfalls - a true gentleman.

    Imagine a soft shell crab, battered, in a bun. It doesn't get much better than that. Just don't forget to order the chips.

    Tables outside with heaters are perfect for relaxing and watching canal traffic drift past.

    If you don't like chilli like me, this place is a nightmare; everything has chilli on it, even the bread ;_;

    Crab burger is good, but the pineapple dessert is perfection on a plate.
