read moreWhile 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.
