What Laurie Carter likes about Boffins Restaurant and Bar:
I treated myself to dinner here and enjoyed delicious medium rare eye fillet (I needed some greens with it so a side of beans and pancetta was in order) and a tasty citrus tart for dessert.Unfortunately when dining alone separate sides does make the meal a little expensive - but it was all great quality food) View all feedback. What Adriana Alemán doesn't like about Boffins Restaurant and Bar:
The last year has been a disaster for this restaurant. The menu now parodies Courgette's exquisite multiple courses with choices, but the food is tasteless. The service is haphazard. Friendly? Maybe, if you get a student who is working his/her way through ANU. The wine list has shrunk from adequate to desperate. The University Club which points to this place as a home for its members ought to get someone in to re-eva... View all feedback.

Nice booth in the corner on a quiet night. Greatly enjoyed Barramundi and Scallops. Fresh, tasty salad. Wine by the glass.

Really enjoyed my meal here! Soup for starter and then kangaroo. Was absolutely delicious and service was very good.

An impromptu dinner was surprisingly very good - the lamb cutlets were superb. Would be good to see rose by the glass.

While Boffins has faced challenges over the past year with a disappointing menu and subpar service, recent reviews suggest that the restaurant is still worth a visit. Customers have enjoyed dishes such as medium rare eye fillet, salmon, kangaroo, and gnocchi, all prepared with care and attention to flavor. The wine list may have diminished, but the house wine remains acceptable. Patrons appreciate the variety of options available, from vegetarian to meat dishes, and the generous portions offered. Although some cost-cutting measures have affected the overall experience, the quality of the food and attentive service continue to make Boffins a favorite dining spot for many.
