The food is made to a good standard. Nothing crazy, but that makes it nice in a way too. Classic fare.

We had the tempura squid and beef tartare for entrees and ocean trout and spatchcock for mains and finished off with a shared apple tart. All dishes were beautifully cooked and presented. Service was perfect. Worth a try.

We had both vegetarian and gluten free dietary requirements in our party of 8 people and they were so nice and made sure that everyone was catered for and ALL the meals were delicious. We did pair them with the wines and this really enhanced the meal. Overall for a student run restaurant it was impressive. Great location.

The food is made by culinary students and floor staff consists of hospitality students, and most of them from overseas which brings incredible exchange of culture and personality. It is great to interact with them and their professionalism makes you forget they are still being trained. The food is excellent! The price is very cheap for a fine dining restaurant in Sydney and the quality is undeniable. It needs to be booked in advance and usually weekends are very busy. You can always try to walk in but it is not recommended.

The food below was from a set menu so they had alternate drops of each of the three courses. Pictured below are the bavette steak with bone marrow, pan roast mulloway (fish), toasted lime and coconut parfait and chocolate cremeux. The fish course was my favourite, the sauce had such a great lemony/butter flavour that worked well with the white-meat fish. Tempted to try to recreate this at home!
