   Absolutely mouth watering. We had the peppered steak and the lamb. So tender and juicy I would highly recommend this restaurant!

   A French restaurant that will not disappoint. Thank you, Chef Julien, for a wonderful evening. We started with Sydney rock oysters and the snails - sublime! For mains, my husband had the lamb and I indulged in the beef bourguignon with ratatouille and greens to share. My husband practically licked his plate and I was not far behind! Our group certainly couldn’t get enough and we may have indulged in desserts, all of which were spectacularly decadent and delightful. We won’t give away all the treats on offer but we certainly cannot wait to return! (The French onion soup and quenelles of snapper looked delicious). This is truly the reinvigoration of French cuisine in the Southern Highlands and should not be missed. Our new favourite. Thank you again for again for a wonderful evening.

   Incredible tasting food, great portion sizes. What we paid for two people was less than expected and did not leave hungry! Definitely recommend trying this place.

   Hello Sue, Thank you for sharing your feedback, we are sorry you did not enjoy your food. Your guest and you had the duck confit which is cooked for 6/7 hours and our tomato tart which is baked twice at different temperatures. Wine wise you had two glasses of our wine by the glass which are from 2021 as mentionned on our wine list. Please feel free to email us directly or call us to explain more details about your experience and how we can improve. Best, Julien

   The food was fantastic- absolutely delicious. However, we were there for Christmas lunch, prebooked, menu preselected and prepaid several months beforehand. Reservations were every 15 minutes but the staff just could not keep up. We sat for an hour before getting our wine and main course. The staff were lovely but overwhelmed. As to ambience, we were seated in a dull white box room on uncomfortable plastic chairs. I know there are other parts of the Brasserie that are delightfully quirky but this area was very uninspiring.

   When you provide your menu choices a month in advance, and the restaurant does not believe you, was disappointing. After showing 3 people a text message, they finally believed that we had a requested a vegetarian meal. Disappointing that the restaurant couldn’t get it that we wanted gluten free as well, was the final straw! It took 45mins to get a wine menu. Overall, we would not recommend this restaurant nor ever go back. Disappointing that this was Christmas Day also.

    The food was good, but the service wasn't. It felt like the staff were all on their first shift, ever ( in hospitality) or performing a scenes from Fawlty Towers. Constantly having to ask for cutlery and drinks. Staff world reach across the table infront of customers instead of walking around to place the food infront of the person. No one checked if we were ready for the next course, food simply arrived at uneven intervals. We asked for a drinks menu to order a beer, the staff member instead just brought out "a beer". They had selected a brand at random and brought it opened ,with a glass, placed it on the table and walked off before we could say anything.
