    Been here multiple times and it truly never disappoints. Shout out to the chef & team for setting the bar high with every dish served and of course, the FOH team for always making us feel welcome and taken care of. 10/10.

    Exceptional lunch as per usual. The team was welcoming and attentive, the food was delicious and we couldn’t fault a single thing. The kale salad and gnocchi were the standouts for us. Thanks Spek & Bone team!

    Good food but doesn’t live up to the hype. The Melting Pot is far better by a country mile.
