If we had to name a few of our favourites pieces that make Mr. Vain
There’s a certain stillness as the piano player begins singing “that song”, a moment with the person sitting across from you, the first bite of “that dish” you’ve been hearing about.
The chaos from the buzzing kitchen’s clanging plates under clouds of steam, the cocktail shaking bartender, the team gliding through the floor, the laughter of our guests.
The romance as you enter from the high traffic Ann street, through the doors to a warm uplifting ambience, the way the chef carefully plates each dish, memories being made as you glance over each table.
Mr. Vain isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a feeling
