La Luna Bistro

Reviewed By MICMIK1

We’ve been a fans of Adrian Richardson from way back. So it’s only logical that we were keen to taste his food for long time. The only reason being that La Luna is a rather pricey restaurant. However, our wish came true when recently we visited with family for a special occasion. All we can say is that it turned out to be a great experience and surpassed all expectations. Fantastic food and service. My reaction when I faced my 330g medium/rare Porterhouse was, OMG, I’ll never be able to eat all that...surprise, surprise, once I took a bite, just couldn’t stop...it was to die for! And so it goes for everyone around the table. And then, it was dessert time... the taster plate was definitely a blast with other family members. My Affogato topped with a gorgeous French pear liqueur was just Devine. Expensive? Yes! But who’s complaining? Many thanks Adrian and staff for an unforgettable night. Keep up the good work!Thanks Lovely it was our pleasure

Transformer Fitzroy

Reviewed By Cherie B

Great expectations and initially we felt perhaps they may be realised- certainly we were welcomed and explanations were thorough and confident. Our Brussel sprout dish was delicious, tacos were ok. Egg plant dish was over seasoned and lacked sufficient dimension in taste. Flan was quite delightful - well balanced, fresh, original, however we almost didn't order dessert as we were informed our table was required - despite having to call someone over to ask for dessert and despite wait staff removing plates, glasses, filling water but not mentioning this or suggesting dessert for over 25 minutes.'Luckily' following our disappointed response they allowed us to stay where we were. Not too sure why we were not informed of the time limit and why staff did not move the orders along if this was the expectation.As for the music- my ears are still ringing. l note another review observes issues with volume so perhaps it is time to select a lower volume setting!!Staff can be abrupt and with all the offerings in this area we don't need to see if it is any better next time.

South of Johnston

Reviewed By NicoleMaggieP

My sister and I visited twice as we loved it so much. We were staying for a few days while our mum was in hospital! The first day my sister had the omelette and I the chorizo and mushroom poached eggs. Both delicious. The second day we thought we would share and had the French Toast with pear and bacon...Amazing and plenty for two of us! Service was spot on!

The sour beer was interesting. The empanadas were yum. The interiors are pretty cool. From hearing about the place I kind of expected more but it was a perfectly fine quick snack and drink stop.

Reviewed By bmurphy1969

This is a great suburban bistro/bottle-shop. The restaurant space is lovely and the menu has a good hearty selection. The chefs do a very good job on the entrees and main. The Prosciutto/roasted fig/tomato/burrata is fantastic. The main was a dry-aged duck breast, but it came in a sort of pasty - which took my by surprise...but...it was truly delicious and I could have happily eaten another one! The wine list is extensive and seems to be priced at 'bottle-shop" prices which is a nice change. The only issue we found was with dessert. We went for the crepe suzette but this interpretation is not as good as the original/expected version. The crepes were cold and had dollops of flavoured cream inside them. It still tasted ok, just not what they were made out to be. Service was good. Would go again, but ask more questions as I was ordering.

Dans le Noir?

More than a restaurant, Dans le Noir ? is an international brand with a unique concept where patrons dine in complete darkness, guided and served by amazing and unexpected staff. An original experience that has intrigued and awakened the minds of millions

Cutler & Co

Reviewed By Meredith W

This was a special occasion dinner with our family and Cutler & Co certainly didn’t disappoint. The service was first class, friendly, professional and attentive while the ambience was wonderful. The sommelier was especially helpful and knowledgeable when deciding between two wines on the list.The food was delicious except for our daughter’s fish which was unfortunately over cooked. She was disappointed as the dinner was in her honour and she didn’t enjoy her main course. However, my husband thought his chicken was divine while my other daughter and I chose a vegetarian pasta which was flavourful and filling.The whole table were particularly taken with the entrees although Serrano ham was substituted in one of the dishes as the restaurant had run out of bresaola, which we thought would be a highlight on the menu provided. The two dessert options were nice and there was also a wide selection of cheeses.Despite a couple of minor issues I would have no hesitation in recommending Cutler & Co for a wonderful night out.
