I know have trust issues. DONT TRUST THE CHEF! What a sad disappointment. Paid $170 for my partner and I to dine with trust the chef. What we got to share- First serve- 2 slices of bread with butter- the butter was yum Salmon- was ok but not great, the flavours didn’t hit. Second serve- Brussel sprouts- this was actually yummy and my favourite thing. Beetrot and walnut- the flavours were nice but the two dishes didn’t compliment each other and was weird to eat alone. Main serve- Chicken dish - chicken was over cooked and the chicken skin was tough and disgusting Cold Carrot dish- didn’t go with the other dishes and the flavours were not there for me. Potato bravias- was yum but potato alway is. Dessert- a chocolate mouse and berry dessert. We left it as again flavours were not there. Nice atmosphere however the servers changed about 5 times and when asked what they would recommend I was told that they had not tried anything on the menu except 1 drink so couldn’t recommend anything. Will never go back and definitely not recommend. Over priced for below...

I’ve now had the pleasure of dining at Odeon twice, and both experiences have been absolutely top-tier. The first time, my partner and I chose the "Just Feed Me" option—which I highly recommend. It was not only incredible value but also a beautifully curated journey of flavour. Every dish was thoughtful, exciting, and delicious.

The second visit was just as impressive. I took my mum before heading to the theatre, and the staff were so considerate of our timing. They ensured everything flowed smoothly and that we were well taken care of without feeling rushed—such a refreshing experience.

The food? Outstanding. The flavour combinations were bold yet balanced, and each dish felt like it had a story to tell. The wine pairings were also on point—clearly chosen with care and a deep understanding of the menu.

The service, the atmosphere, the attention to detail—it all adds up to something pretty special. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Odeon to anyone, whether you're after a relaxed, flavour-forward experience or a pre-theatre bite. I’ll definitely...
