Description

The reviews for this restaurant are mixed, with a consistent theme of bland food but great drinks. Many customers found the food to be lacking in flavor and quality, with some even opting to leave and finish their meal elsewhere. However, the bar staff and atmosphere received high praise, making it a popular spot for drinks. One reviewer had a negative experience with a group booking, citing issues with seating arrangements and incorrect charges. Despite these shortcomings, the chicken wings were highlighted as a standout item on the menu. Overall, the general sentiment is that while the food may be lacking, the bar and drinks are what make this establishment worth a visit.

Overpriced and confusing taste. Duck ramen was a combination of jap ramen noodle and viet pho soup. Definitely not great. Fried chicken was overpowered by sweat sour sauce. Cocktail jug was for sure refreshing but underwhelming in terms of taste and presentation. Very disappointed

One of the worst experiences i've had. Flew down from Melbourne and caught up for dinner here with friends and made a group booking (2 weeks in advance). From the get go i was sent the wrong form, then i was double charged for my deposit (and refunded in the end), I made a group booking for 13 people for dinner and when i arrived i was lead to the bar with a small table and 5 chairs. When i brought up the fact we had 13 people they said well you have that whole area pointing to one corner of the bar. Eventually we were squished into the tiny eating space upstairs with 3 round tables awkwardly joint together. We were then incorrectly charged for a dish we did not order and also had to cancel 3 dishes as we had waited for over 40 minutes (and all other people food had come out). How hard is it to get at least 1 thing correct. The only upside was the waitress (who mentioned she was new ) was very apologetic and genuinely sympathetic. Management is poor and would never recommend this venue to anyone. In terms of food everything was overpriced and average (or below), except the chicken wings. They were the highlight of menu.

I have bought OurDeal  voucher fro Seven Dish Banquet  and have made booking to come for dinner  using online booking tool from the voucher.  The booking was confirmed by Email. But when I came at booked time, the door of the cafe was closed, and nobody answered to my knocks to the door. I have tried to call to provided by booking confirmation Email phone No 02 9947 9025, but have only response from answering machine. I have left a message, was waiting another 20 min and went away. My Saturday's evening was ruined, and I have lost $49 paid for the voucher.  I wood recommend to avoid this place, especially using any voucher

I don't typically think of myself as someone who enjoys hidden gem restaurants, but I'm starting to appreciate them more. The Grasshopper is located in a quaint alleyway.

I believe it was our bartender's first day on the job as she checked the ingredient/direction list 10 times before making our drinks. It was a bit surprising to see her working alone in a nearly empty bar.
