Fountain 77 - GLEBE

I really wanted this to be a 4-star review, but I just couldn't justify it. It wasn't too bad, the staff were really nice, the food was hit or miss, the

Foods OK but I definitely won't be rushing back. The front courtyard is relaxing and watching the world go by is a huge plus.

Horrible serviceIt took 30 minutes for a jug of sangria I mean Sprite$28 for a pitcher of Sprite and rotten fruit.

Absolutely awesome restaurant, extensive indoor and outdoor area. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered gnocci, polished it off and had to order another portion as it was soooo good. We will be going there again. Food and service were absolutely excellent.

Selection of food was solid and varied and authentically Italian. Huge dining areas, perfect for entertaining large groups of 16 or so. They have a gorgeous section out the back that feels like home and an impressive garden with dining chair set up in the front. Our meals arrived quickly and the staff were lovely. Prices are very reasonable. The only reason I haven't given 5/5, is very odd. There was an older man there, wearing all blue, (maybe by the name of Arnie? versus the women who mostly wore all black. In any case on a number of occasions I saw him speaking down to the women. Even then, my partner and I didn't pass judgment...until he seemed to grab one of the women's arms and tell her off on several occasions, almost dragging her to an area where some guests had just left. We couldn't tell what it was all about. The man always seemed friendly to us, but I've not seen women treated in this way in Sydney. If it wasn't for my partner and respect for the business I would have confronted this man about what I saw him do. I have such mixed feelings about this place. The food and staff were lovely, but I think I need to speak to this man if I'm to consider eating here again.
