My partner, two friends and myself came here last night for dinner as we all live nearby and read great reviews about this place… I haven’t been this dissapointed with food quality in a very long time. The entrees were overpriced (had the pigs head, the terrine and the scallops) but all of them had great flavours, which excited us even more for our mains dishes. The french onion tart was bland and was plain, as well as the mussels. We ordered burgers also, which at $28 were no better than a McDonalds burger, no joke. Worst one was the steak and frites that we shared, juices from the steak flowing into the plate and making the frites soggy, steak was clearly not rested before served. It was tough and the quality was terrible. Also, burger, steak, mussels, ALL with frites on the side. I know its a french kitchen but maybe little bit more creativity to offer side dishes? The service was good, as the lady clearly was doing her best, but they were clearly understaffed as it was hard to get their attention. Bill came up to almost $100 a head, which was a rip off for the experience we had and the quality of food and will not go...

The steak frites was way too expensive to have a line of gristle across the top of every slice and to be served with fries but without a garden salad. And serving it without a steak knife? Sheesh.

Maybe if they were filled with lobster and in a 1 hat restaurant I’d let it go, but in a pub with a big table of rowdy Waratahs fans at the next table? At a table without a table cloth much less good settings? Hell no. And we had to tell the waiter in cut-off denim shorts to turn his back instead of standing right over us watching to add a little more pressure while we went right past the tip option on the EFTPOS terminal. Next time we’ll stay downstairs and order the...
