Love this restaurant. Eaten here about ten times and every single time I have loved it. Revolving menu so there always a surprise or two to try out! Great service. Nothing is too much trouble. Brilliant food of course.

Taxi Kitchen is an exceptional place for lunch. I brought my sister-in-law here to celebrate a milestone birthday, and the staff looked after us incredibly well. They were so kind! The menu features a fantastic modern Australian and Asian fusion, leaning slightly more Western, and every dish was outstanding.
