The restaurant includes elements of molecular gastronomy and is split into three areas - a dining and bar area on the first floor, private rooms on the second floor, and an alfresco space on the terrace. Pooley, also from Australia, joined the restaurant in June 2012, at the age of 28, having previously taken an apprenticeship at Sydney's multi-award winning Quay restaurant under celebrity chef Peter Gilmore.
