Great restaurant really loved it. First time we tried this restaurant as it was recommended by friends and we loved it. The food was amazing and the portions were great value. The lamb was a hightlight as well Aa the homemade tiramisu. Will return again.

Went last night and at first was impressed with the setting and service. Once the food started to come out I was Not impreesed at all. Herb bread was salty and thin with a bit of dried mixed herbs. My main was beef fillet with rosti, the rosti was cold in the middle, should not use microwaves for rosti. Beef was nice but I guess anyone can open a packet. My wife had the duck with beetroot, duck had no flavour and the beetroot was plain boiled and was boring. Sauces were nice but once again with the packet thing.

We also had the fries which looked to have been microwaved or left over from the staff dinner as they were inedible, waitress knew but remained quiet. We skipped dessert as we were so disappointed to have wasted our time and money. Could be a really nice restaurant with some decent cooks, considering the menu was very small we expected those dishes to be nice, then again it is the Hills and we should have known.

I become weary when someone invites me out in the hills as I've been disappointed on a few occasions. Though, I must say my friends made an excellent choice in taking me to Allure. The food and service was very good. The menu is rather small but I like that. I'd rather they do less well than more poorly! It also goes to show that you can have good food and value in the Hills. Has a BYO policy too which is handy for some. Highly recommended.

We have been to Allure about 10 times and have never had a bad meal - always very high quality and one of the best restaurants in the Hills District. Good value especially as they are now BYO. Service is always good - the only negative is they sometimes clear plates before everyone has finished.

Went with friends for dinner, upon arrival we were quite pleased with the staff. During dinner, the service was great and we never had to wait too long for any drink orders or requests made. Our mains were amazing and dessert was just as good if not better. My only regret was not ordering an entre but when I return I will be sure to not make the same mistake twice.

I was taken here by a friend for my birthday. It's a fine dining restaurant in the Hills District, but with the quality of food and the great service you could believe you were in the city. The waiter was attentive without being overbaring, the food was served promptly, cooked to perfection and living up to expectations. We both asked for our steaks to be cooked medium rare,but realised we should have said medium, the staff were happy to take it back and have it cooked longer, much to our appreciation. Will be back for sure.

I loved Allure, even though its been around for a while we haven't had a chance to go yet but we decided to go last week for dinner, we didn't have a booking but the staff were very accommodating.

The food was great, the menu had a wide selection of choices, making it hard to pick....but we had the tapas to share for entree and then I had the eye fillet and my husband had the fish of the day which was so fresh. The portions were a great size and the food was very well cooked and fresh.

Even though I was full we shared the mars bars crepes and they were heavenly. The waiter explained the desserts are made on the premises and you could tell.
I loved everything about this restaurant and I'm bummed I haven't been there sooner but I will return to experience all the other yummy stuff on the menu.

Allure is a nice change from the usual Hills District slop, the menu is great, and the food is of acceptable quality. I do, however, find the menu to be slightly over priced given the location. The wait staff are all attentive and friendly.

My only gripe with Allure is the seats, please, for the love of god, get some comfortable chairs for your customers! In fact, I find the chairs so horrible, it has stopped me from dining here. If I find them bad, and I am 23, I am sure the more senior clientele have a much harsher meal.
