The food itself was very tasty. Garlic prawns, beautiful. Pork ribs tender and juicy. However, a bit on the expensive side. If you wanted anything green you had to order a side salad @ $24!It was very noisy, conversation was difficult. Service was fast, so fast I was still eating entree when the ribs arrived! Felt like a short order restaurant where getting as many people in and out was the order of the day.

Leaning down from his open kitchen, chef Simon Sandall looks relaxed and happy as he chats to regulars sitting at the bar. Sandall was the quiet achiever behind celebrity chef Matt Moran for seventeen years. He began as head chef of the flagship restaurant, Aria, and ending his innings as group chef of Moranâs restaurant group, MorSul (which has now merged with Solotel). As you might imagine, for a man who catered the Sydney Opera Houseâs New Yearâs Eve party with more than a thousand guests, a suburban 72-seater is a walk in the park.A walk in Boronia Park, to be precise, located in the leafy green suburb of Hunters Hill. Youâll find Sandall's restaurant, Boronia Kitchen, across the road from Boronia Park Public School, which his kids attended. It was through being a local resident that Sandall was able to watch his local Italian, Il Bolognese, wind down, and step into the breach when the owners finally called quits. The red and green neon has given way to simple white; and spaghetti bolognese has been turfed in favour of a delicate quintet of Scallop Tortelli ($26). With ephemeral skins, the tortelli are so light they seem to hover in your mouth on a cloud of fragrant yuzu. It gives way to a burst of scallop when you sink in your teeth, with apple matchsticks and thinly-sliced pickled daikon adding texture and keeping the plate from being too âlemon butterâ cloying.Weâre tucked on a tan leather banquette â another new addition to the space - in the second, nearly full, sitting, on a Saturday night. Nobody in the kitchen is even breaking a sweat. Floor staff are plentiful and friendly, as youâd want from a neighbourhood, all-day eatery. Weâre cleverly down-sold to an interesting 2016 San Marzano âEstellaâ Fiano ($48/bottle). Itâs textural with some funk in the trunk.By also purchasing the quirky brick fortress next door, Sandall has the space to include an impressive wine cellar list. The building also houses the commercial kitchen for the catering arm of his own empire, and the offices for his restaurant consultancy business, as well as a kitchen garden and 21-space car park in the rear. With all that experience, you didnât think Sandall would be content just running a simple, suburban eatery, now did you? Consider his prowess over a sesame-seed crusted slab of sourdough stuffed with light, sweet prawn mousse and dotted with yuzu mayo. that heâs casually dubbed Prawn Toast ($22). It cleans up the funk in our Fiano, leaving behind pretty lemon and minerality.This paves the way for Merimbula Rock Oysters ($24/6). Presented under glistening orange pearls of roe softened by an almost Asian ginger marmalade, you get a hint of briny oyster that may be too narrow for oyster purists. Seamlessly integrating Asian influences into likeable and coherent contemporary Australian comfort food continues into the Seafood Curry ($34). Feeling vaguely Sri Lankan in origin, this dish teams barramundi, clams and a plump king prawn in a coconut curry broth dominated by curry leaf. Itâs faintly bitter, but the seafood is cooked well, and the juicy scorched cherry tomatoes add some balancing sweetness against grilled bread rather than rice.Snake Beans and Kale ($9) is a bit too healthy/worthy, and not quite lively-chilli, enough for me. Replace them with Duck Fat Potatoes ($10); while your cardiologist might not appreciate the switch, your palate certainly will. Boiled then roasted in duck fat before being fried, these crisp, fluffy-centred, rosemary-enhanced spuds are the best potatoes Iâve eaten in quite some time.For our final dish, we're cleverly steered onto the 2018 Ochota Barrels âSheâs Lost Controlâ Fragola ($82/bottle). If youâve always wanted to be a red wine drinker, but never quite made the jump from rosé, this is the drop for you. Itâs like a short, sharp raspberry juice, thatâs quite refreshing, with a deceptive salty lick thatâs brought up when you consume it with Duck Cassoulet ($36). Sandall makes this usually intense dish is made every-day accessible with diced mortadella and de-boned confit duck. It's tomato-rich, making it eat almost like a thick minestrone soup under a crisp breadcrumb crust, freshened up with chopped parsley. It made me wish that winter was already here.It's certainly easy to see why Hunters Hill locals are all telling their Eastern Suburbs friends: âweâve got a restaurant nowâ.

Bondi Pizza was born in 2009 out of a passion not only to bring you authentic thin pressed pizza, but also to create a dining experience that captures the essence of what is Bondi Beach... relaxing, vibrant and Fun!

Place was pretty crowded with lots of people passing by during late night shopping. Pizza of ham and pineapple - pastry was thin and unexciting, sweet potato chips portion was reasonable and the Greek salad was fresh. Wait staff was a trainee who was both polite and efficient. Otherwise, this was a meal which was not memorable.

Our friends spoke very highly of this place so when we walked in this noon, my expectations were on the high side. Surprisingly, the food, coffee and service surpassed all expectations! The food came without much of a wait and I enjoyed every bite. From presentation, to taste, all the way to their pricing, I found myself scanning the menu trying to decide what I will order for my next visit.

We were a large group there for a special 0 birthday and were in a private room. The staff were very accommodating in helping with the planning of the night and also very helpful on the night. The food was full of flavour and everyone was happy with their choice. Service was very good. Street parking is available but best to get there before 7pm unless you want a longer walk to the restaurant as there are other diners in this area. Inside Bistro 54 is very pleasant - a nice ambience. Would definitely recommend.Hi Aussie Traveller50, Thanks for taking the time to review your dining experience. We are so pleased to hear that everyone enjoyed themselves at the birthday. We will pass on your kind words to the staff. We look forward to you visiting again Kind RegardsCaryn Medak

A family member had his 50th celebration in one of the front private'ish rooms. The variety of food on the menu was very good and mostly seasonal. I highly recommend the Risotto of Spanner Crab and the Pepper Crusted Kangaroo , which was cooked to perfection. We were well looked after by RobertFor couples or smaller gathering, I suggest requesting one of the tables over looking the river as the views are greatThanks for making this 50th memorable

I only went here because my colleagues wanted to, I remembered my last visit. Cutlery didnât look clean on arrival, and the replacement was bent. Food was uninspired, and the steak tasted burnt. It tasted burnt because it appears they put the steak on a red hot grill, where is stays until the grill has burnt the meat where it contacts the meat. So the pattern of the grill is burnt into the steak.Beef & Reef, the prawns cost more than $1 each. ($7 extra for six prawns.)The chips were not hot, and they were soggy. Service was not good, reaching across the table to serve and clear.

Peter, the owner gave us personal attention. He is very knowledgeable about food & clued up on vegan requirements & researches all of their ingredients. He couldn't have been more helpful & it was a pleasure chatting with him. We had a vegan breakfast & a warm salad.Both meals were tasty & generous. Our only comment would be they were very similar & could perhaps be improved by the addition of some different textures. Otherwise an excellent choice. This place is a stylish, quiet hidden gem amongst the crowded chaos of McQ Centre & a real credit to Peter.
