Degustation is an amazing way to eat. It holds my short attention span and keeps both mind and tastebuds interested. However, there is a certain amount of prep involved to commit to a degustation. For one, it takes a strong mind to pass up on lunch or an arvo snack. You have to commit to it and prepare to indulge.
There is a lot to be said for ‘above awning retail’. This is because, for one, there is always a view. And for two, traversing a flight of stairs brings a strange sense of anticipation - a feeling that you’ve stumbled on something before the rest of the world.

There's another, unassuming, "Harry's" in town that's (ahem) clawing for your attention. From the moment you're greeted by the neon-lit ‘live seafood' sign, you know there's no turning back. It's everything the name promises... and more.

Rumour has it that way back in the 1980's Uchi Lounge served as a one stop shop for Japanese business men wanting to indulge in the delights of Sydney while maintaining the culinary comforts of home. High-class ladies of leisure dripped in Dior made conversation, and afterwards did some dark deals to a Coltrane soundtrack.
In Victoria Street terms, Dragon Den has done its time on the main drag and proven itself worthy of community scrutiny. Decked out in Vietnamese décor decadence (water feature and all), it's a dining experience with a spectrum of flavours.
Ostensibly Vietnamese, the menu is also made up of Japanese and Chinese inspired dishes.
