I love moody, darkly-lit places, sprinkled with candles, and hidden nooks-and -crannies where you feel both far away and still a part of the bar. And Palmer and Company certainly delivered. The drinks were very good. There was only one miss. I ordered a caipirinha, and they said that the fruit would be strawberry, and I asked if it was sweet, and the server said, “a little bit, but not really” and it was far too sweet. I drink Cachaça plain with a little bit of lime, because Cachaça has such a funky flavor that it really goes well in a caipirinha, which is a very bare-Bones drink, allowing the Cachaça to shine. But, in this case, the cachaca seemed buried by the strawberry. If this were a bolder, darker rum, perhaps, but Cachaça is exquisite and really does not deserve to be overpowered. The other drinks were good, and our server took his time with me, giving me samples of wines. Most of the reds were too light, but they definitely had one winner! I’m trying to adjust my California palate to Australian wines. Australian wines are great, but I like a big juicy Cabernet, so I’m trying to find my balance here. They also have an exquisite champagne list, but I’ve been drinking so much bubbly lately that I opted not to have any. The offering that we enjoyed the most (believe it or not) was their interpretation of steak tartare... on Doritos. Perhaps we were craving a little slice of back home in the states, but tartare Doritos was a seemingly ridiculous idea that really worked! The Tartare was lovely, and the cheesy Crunch of the Doritos enhanced the other elements that they put on the mix such as avocados and jalapeños. It was messy and a little odd, but, for some reason, it did work. My husband also had a spicy pork jaffle. Basically, a jaffle seems to be the equivalent of a pressed Panini sandwich, and reminds me of when we go camping and we bring the cast iron sandwich-makers and cook them over the fire. It was a fun idea. And I had a… Hotdog. I have been eating such interesting and high-end food all week that I reverted to a hotdog for one of my last meals in Sydney. It was okay. I would say, for future if they’re trying to make a regular New York style hotdog they should dial back on the onions, and really amp up on mustard. But overall, fairly authentic. Server was efficient without being obtrusive. He was there when we needed him, but mostly was absent, But seemed to intuit when we needed something which was great and it made the experience seem even more intimate. I believe we came through the wrong entrance, because later we saw a host bringing people from another room and greeting them. We entered from the side alley through a back door, but it made it even more authentic to feel like we were walking into a speakeasy. The host who was seating patrons seemed really peppy, so I’m glad we found our way on our own. I was not in the mood for peppy. Overall, a five star experience featuring interesting food, finally crafted cocktails, and a beautiful dimly-lit interior with comfortable seats.

what a super cool place. we popped in for some Sunday evening drinks. managed to easily get seats (6pm on a Sunday) . Our waitress was lovely and super helpful (don't remember her name but she was originally from the uk - and if you read this, THANK YOU for such wonderful service). anyway she helped reccomend some cocktails and they were amazing. we were then hungry and we had heard of Mr Wongs... turns out it's right next door and owned by the same group. Anyway, our waitress then helped us secure a table and took us through to our seats. really truly amazing service and super friendly cool atmosphere. and the drinks were awesome. thank you! we will be back!

We met after work around 5:30pm and the music was blaring. Way too loud for this early in the evening when you want to be having a conversation. It might be fine for later when the mood is high and people are in party mode. Apart from that, the venue is nice and the staff are super helpful.

We had a wonderful experience Saturday night. 7 of us turned up around 9.00pm and it was quite busy. No spare tables. Carmen the beautiful host that’s always so lovely spotted us and said she has a special table for us until 11.30pm. We were so grateful. She took us to a lil private room. Always such a fun night. I just love Carmen’s energy. She really makes such an effort to make everyone’s night really special. Love her!! Belle
