At some point in your visit to this glamorous grill room you will feel compelled to say 'wow'. It might be when you first see the city skyline by day or at dusk; when you're handed the glowing iPad winelist; or when your 1-kilo wagyu rib-eye arrives straight from the wood-fired grill. Designed as a platform for chef Teage Ezard, BLACK is all woods, copper and leather, with an equally glam menu. Entrees are a strength, meticulously mannered and fun to eat. Cubes of tuna ceviche in a tangalicious dressing sprawl across the plate with sesame, blood orange, ponzu and curls of cucumber; and soft and squishy crumbed pork terrine plays hide and seek with miso-sesame wafers and pickled shiitakes. Steaks are all grain-fed and any extras are extra (chips, salad and even sauce), but an angus rib-eye is lightly crusty outside and supremely tender within. A playful partnership of clover honey parfait, honeycomb and ginger biscuit is worth one final wow.
