Me and my partner often eat out a lot and chose to see what Shepard was like based on the reviews. I honestly didn’t expect much as we do eat out often and thought it’ll be nice/normal but was actually blown away and really enjoyed my experience.! We were seated right by the kitchen and as we arrived the service was so good and they were very welcoming but not annoying at the same-time. The food was an experience and I actually tried majority of the menu there as it all looked so good as it was coming out.! As the food came out because we were next to the kitchen at the bar the chefs served it out and explained each meal and man was the food good.! I found out after that the owner was actually serving us with his head chef and man what an experience.! Again I do eat out often and there are plenty of good eats out there but I really did enjoy my experience here leaving a tip and the food was so SO Devine.! Thank you Shepard for the experience here will definitely be sure to come back.!

Following recent news of Shepherd's closure, we just have to make a final visit to the award-winning restaurant! We had previously visited for brunch and that was an amazing experience; tonight's dinner was no exception. We were seated at the chef's table again allowing us to watch all the action in the kitchen while we dined. We went with the a la carte menu, staring off with the wild venison entree, followed by mains of the duck mole and the moki fish dish with our choice of a glass of red and white wine respectively to match, as well as the asparagus side. I was initially apprehensive about the wild venison carpaccio but I have to say it was the highlight dish for me - the mix of walnut, tamarillo, honey, truffle and cheese together with the tender venison was just delish! To finish, we shared the sour lemon cake, another delight with warm cake served with cool mascarpone parfait. Cost us $183 all up. It's a real shame to see Shepherd go, so glad we go to enjoy them one last time. Shepherd officially closes their doors on 26th Nov so you have a week left to go support them!
