Recently attended with a party of 14 others for a special function. The meals ordered were very pleasant and the ambience was good. The only sour note to spoil what was otherwise a nice evening was realising some days later (after having found the receipt) that I had been charged for a main that was not ordered and also overcharged for corkage. The corkage in particular had been costed out on the bill at $10.50 per bottle unlike the $9.50 as advertised. My mistake really, I should have checked the bill at the time. I was under the albeit misguided impression that staff would have totalled up correctly.
Was highly recommended by a work colleague which was in contradiction to some negative reviews. I can confimr that my colleagues assessment matched our experience on Feb 23rd. Ambience, friendly waitress in Ellen, good wine list and excellent food. We will be returning soon – Ray
The atmosphere in here is nice. Our waiter was pretty helpful and friendly. We ordered a few entrees and the ciabatta bread was really nice. I orded the steak, chips and salad meal, and at $35 you would expect a decent piece of steak for this price, half of my steak was fat and gristle and couldn’t eat it. Was a let down, considering the rest of the meal was so nice.The BYO option is not advertised very well as I didn’t know it was.I would come back again but probably would rather try somewhere else new instead first.
I have to agree with the last review and I meant to post a review earlier.I went to the restaurant in May with my sister. After booking in advance I was told by the waitress that my booking had been taken by someone else with the same surname – incredibly! Also I was 10 mins early so this was not because I was late. I had given them my phone no to differentiate myself from others who shared the same surname, (as was later confirmed by the waitress, so it was a totally weird/lame excuse).I was then offered a free drink and maybe dessert at the bar, where I waited for my sister (but not at that stage advised if there would be a table on offer at any point of the evening). She could have dealt with it a lot better than she did since they had screwed up. My sister was less than impressed with this scenario when she arrived, but was determined to stay to make a point.We both ordered fish and chips – meal was ok but not a lot of effort presentation-wise despite the price.Dessert sounded exciting being cheesecake, but I think it is probably one of the worst and definitely the most expensive I have ever had anywhere. It tasted like rancid butter – that seemed to be it’s main flavour in fact. The raspberry sorbet on the side was made of raspberry cordial no less. This was my second (and last) time at the bistro. The drinks were free but not the dessert as it turned out.Just because business is booming due to slim-pickings because of the quake it seems some places think they can get away with any old service or food.Strongly recommend you do not go this establishment.
Terrible place to go! Went there with a small group of friends for a drink, manager was really rude. Obviously thought his restaurant was far too good for us, despite the place being virtually empty. He critcised us to another customer (with in our earshot) for only purchasing a bottle of red wine to share. Would definately not return.Head to Chinwag Eatthai Victoria Street, Aikmans or Number 4 instead.
I went to Leinster Road Restaurant a week ago now and found it to be a fantastic place to go for dinner and a few quiet drinks.We walked in and was greated by a lovely young waitress. She seated us in a big lush booth which comfortably seated our party of 6.The acoustics were great but the mix of reggae one minute and jazz the next didn’t really do it for me.I chose Thai chicken salad and my partner had the beef fillet with french fries and salad. He seemed to enjoy the beef and i totally loved my Thai chicken salad, just such a great mix of flavors.We decided we would share the cheese cake, was perfect size to share after a filling meal.Over all the food was great and so was the service even if a bit reserved, but the waitress answered every question we had about the menu.Defiantly will be going back, prices were reasonable and the service was great.
This place is young but has class. The table waiting is a bit ordinary but the food obviously carries over from when the chef was at Barcelona. Not cheap, needs more marketing but is class food.
