Went to Floretine last night for the first time and was disappointed.

The service was great with nice friendly, attentive waiters but the food was awful. I had the risotto with Moreton Bay bugs and it was bland and tasteless except for an overpowering taste of chilli. Thought the food and the value were awful and will never go again.

I really love this cafe. The ambience is spot on. It has a very relaxed breezy feel but still with a hint of fine dining. Sitting outside or by the open windows on a sunny day is lovely. The food is very nice. We found the service really slow in trying to get the bill but at least they are not wanting to 'get us in and out'. Love this place and will definitely return.

Our first time at Florentine was amazing, we was quickly greeted at the door and taken to a table. Our drinks arrived swiftly and our dinner order was taken without delay. They had just launched their winter menu and I thought the quality of the food was outstanding, they have an extensive wine list that complements their seasonal menu. We will definitely go back.

The lamb rump dish I ordered was appalling. The lamb was tough and fatty, and was served with peas and equally fatty pieces of pancetta swimming in a thin dark brown mixture. It is the most visually unappealing meal I've come across na restaurant in a long time Despite leaving most of this inedible dish and pointing out to the waitress that the lamb was disappointingly tough, there was no apology and I was charged the $31. I will never go back to Florentines again.

I am a repeat offender for many reasons. I am a Dairy free gluten free diabetic and I still manage to receive a good meal, because the food is cooked for you, fresh good produce and a great wine list, the specials are to die for and the service is so attentive and friendly, even on your first visit you feel like a scene from Cheers. The place kind of reminds me of a better value Botanical. Love it.

The food was fantastic but portions are quite small, especially the steak dishes which means you have to buy additional side dishes. I thought it was excellent value for money. 1 x starter to share, 2 x mains, 1 x side of fries, a bottle of good red wine and 1 x dessert = $100! We got one dessert free as the maitre d' asked us to move tables at one point. It has a lovely atmosphere and is candlelit. Advise you to book ahead though.
