I was impressed by the delicious food but not by the way they handled my booking! I booked about 4 weeks in advance for a group of 17 people - I was travelling to Sydney for a 9 year reunion - I requested an early time of 6:00pm to avoid crowds and the rush. They tried to force a minimum $55 set menu on us and I requested to have a la carte. They called me the night before and very rudely told me that we would have to come earlier at 5:30pm and leave by 7:00pm because we would clog up the kitchen?! I thought they were going to cancel on me last minute so - we dutifully arrived earlier the next night, and then received absolutely awful attitude from the Manager on arrival to rush through our order. We were told by the bar staff to go get drinks from another venue across the concourse because they didn’t have what we asked for, and then some of my guests got told off by the Manager for doing so?! I also got harshly told off by the Manager even though I didn't even buy any drinks from anywhere else? The service was slow as they were training new waitresses. They took ages to clear our plates and seemed reluctant to offer us dessert and coffee menus - the restaurant didn’t get full, we didn’t clog up the kitchen and we ended up being there till 10:00pm - so what was all the fuss & carry on for in the booking process and at the beginning of the evening? We spent $840 (including a tip) but they still charged me an extra $12.50 presumably for using a VISA card but didn’t tell me that so I only noticed it later on my credit card statement?! Overall we had a great night because it was a great reunion and the food was good but the service really let this place down and I...
Read moreI recently had the most wonderful experience at Teddy Larkin’s. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with Valentine’s Day decorations that added a special touch to our evening. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, setting the perfect mood for a special evening.
The food was exceptional, served hot and fresh from the kitchen. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavour, truly a testament to the chef’s talent. My suggestion is the garlic prawn for entree and the Scallops! My favourite ❤️ I finish with Lobster Mornay for main course.
We had few cocktails and it was an absolute masterpiece please order the Lychee coconut and Chilli margarita. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and each sip was a delight.
It was a quite busy night but the staff remained cheerful and attentive throughout the night. Their warm and efficient service made us feel truly welcomed.
Needless to say, Teddy Larkin’s has quickly become my favorite spot in town, and I can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for delicious food, impeccable service, and a charming atmosphere, look no further – this...
Read moreWe have eaten at Teddy Larkins at least 10 times, however on our most recent visit this week we were very disappointed. The service was extremely slow and unattentive especially giventhenumber 9f staff members floating around doing nothing. We had oysters Kilpatrick, which were nice however the rack of ribs we each had were very disappointing. I think they must have changed their basting sauce as the ribs were tastless and quite greasy underneath. The sauce is usually flavoursome and the ribs one of the dishes Teddy Larkins are well known for but on this occasion they fell well short of their usual flavour and taste. We ended up leaving half of our main course each as the flavour was so bland. On leaving the waitress didn't even question if there was a problem with the meal or why we were both leaving half our food and going from forks down to requesting the bill. They didn't seem interested in obtaining any feedback and so we paid our bill and left. Probably for the last time as I don't think we will...
