Dining in a former police station

The restaurant sits behind the walls of a historic Sydney Police Station building, and the setting is a large part of its appeal. One visitor says some of the old prison cells have been turned into private dining rooms, which makes the evening feel different from a typical Japanese restaurant. Lanterns hang in the stone courtyard and the upper balcony, giving the entrance a warm glow after dark.
