I made a reservation several weeks in advance. However, upon arrival, I was shocked to find a dark building with a homeless man sleeping on the verandah and a full voicemail message bank. I promptly reported the situation to Deals online, and they have since credited my account. Unfortunately, I was unable to sample the food at the restaurant. Instead, I ended up enjoying a wonderful meal at a Greek restaurant on Macleay St, which received my money and vote.

The food was delicious - the french onion soup was excellent - well balanced flavours -although probably better suited to being a light supper rather than en entree we couldn't resist it for old times sake. The Coq au vin with mashed potato was also very tasty and substantial - dense rich flavours - glad we ordered the sprouts which were perfectly al dente as accompaniment. The chocolate mousse was light and fluffy - took me back 30 years when this was always on a french menu - and my husband loved the tart tartin with creme and icecream. I remember this venue from years ago when it was a popular Japanese restaurant. The space has great potential which has not been realised in this incarnation - makes you feel a little awkward as first time diners - needs some attempt at warmth and inclusiveness in the decor . Our waitress Beth was very pleasant.

Then we asked for coffee and she said she was unable to make coffee! I checked twice that she had said that and I had heard correctly. No coffee. Having said that the meal was very pleasant. Would I go again? Not sure. It was a very cold wet day and no fire was lit in the fireplace which was a shame as it would have added to the ambience

WRONG charged for at end of meal, duck pate very poor, not enjoyable, had duck as a main forget it, dessert pavlova, yeah right little meringues brought in the packet from Woolworths non caring, nothing like how the menu reads on their web site lovely terrace setting. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AND WILL NOT GO BACK! Service - under staffed.

The menu had not changed one iota (could do with a bit of a revival), the restaurant decor is depressing and makes you feel like no one cares. It's very quiet and you feel like everyone can hear your conversation (hate that!). Last time, I asked for a Kir- this is a very typical French drink which in any normal French restaurant, you do not need to explain what it is... The waiter acknowledged and brought me back a cheap champagne- I said: this is not what i ordered: the manager (or whoever was working there) changed it but the 2nd time they brought me the wrong drink again- when I said I didn't want it, he said it was too late they had opened the bottle. I didn't touch it but still got charged for it (seriously?!!) On top of that, when I asked for another drink (a gin & tonic; I thought this would be straight forward), the waiter bought me 2 separate drink elements that weren't even the right ones- I mean how hard is it to get a gin & tonic??! There are much better options for good French restaurants in Sydney (Bistro Felix/ Sel & Poivre/ Tastevin/ Bistro Papillon/ Pelican.. so don't waste your time on this one.
