One of my favourites. I like the concept of sharing, the items on the menu and the portion size are just great. I don't know what else I can say to make you go there and try. Just go!

This place is fantastic. I took my girlfriend here on Saturday for her birthday and we ordered the degustation for $75. Is was absolutely perfect and I would recommend it to anyone who wants great food, great service and great value.
The atmosphere is warm and cosy, the service is welcoming and friendly and the food is extraordinary. Definitely now one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney.

Many moons ago, as a P plater, a wise man told me it was harder to drive slowly than to drive fast.
A quiet Monday night put Aperitif to the test, but unlike many restaurants that drop the ball when it's rolling too slowly, the quality shone through this evening.
It's a space that still managed to be warm and intimate despite only having three tables on the go.
It was also really nice to see, what I assume is the owner, manning the floor on a quiet night too.
I just got the sense it's well run, takes pride, and it has an instinctive grasp of the right level of service to fit the occasion.
The food was excellent - white bean and truffle soup was light, fragrant and delicious. Sweetbread and snail cassoulet was a taste sensation and just the right serve size to counter its richness.
The quail was tender but a bit lightly seasoned for my taste, however the scallops with, I think celeriac puree and osso bucco jus, were delicious.
I generally don't have a sweet tooth, but the rose water panacotta was a beautifully balanced dish - I'd even consider sacrificing a savoury dish to have it again.
From start to finish I was thinking about friends I could introduce to this fantastic little joint. Enough said.

Yes, everything absolutely perfect. I have been here several times and it is quite easily my favorite little french influenced restaurant. The food is brilliant. I remember having some kingfish carpaccio special that I could have eaten for my entree main and dessert! Even something so simple as these sauteed peppers we had were pretty good.
The ambience is really good because it has soft lighting, appropriate music, and there are usually people in there. Service was at a very high standard. There was a christmas party for Lord Nelson Brewery out front and even so we (and the other customers inside) were not forgotten! We met the owner and their sommelier who were both very personable and sincere.
Value: Mostly what you would expect from a restaurant of this calibre! Thank you for the complimentary dessert I had been talking about all evening. I would not have been so bold to stuff myself with it otherwise.

I'm absolutely speechless. Apertif has trumped every other late night dining spot in the cross across all aspects of what constitutes a great restaurant. Food and Apertifs? Incredible. Impressive list of drinks and food served as "tapas" - for the sake of your palete, please try the quail. Ambience? The perfect setting for romance. Had an amazing night with the man. Service? Outstanding. Waiters knowledge of the menu blew me away. Value? Would gladly hand over the cash for the above! Highly recommend.

Excellent dinner. One of the best meals I have had out in Sydney. The steak was perfect, never had better. Not a huge place so the service was quite personalized and slightly quirky. The dessert was not quite up to the standard of the other two courses but it was still good.

I dined here last week with a group of friends. The food was tasty but the serving size was only enough for someone with a gastric bypass. My vegetarian friend ordered the pumpkin canelloni which, unfortunately, for her never arrived. The desserts, however, were simply heavenly. All in all it was an ok experience.

Waiter was well informed and very helpful, every plate the right balance of flavour (try the onion tart and the chorizo and egg), large plates were very generous. Extensive drinks list, good selection of French and Spanish wines.
