Went here for an office party. The food is quite amazing, the restaurant is set in a gorgeous area and the staff do cater well for a large group. Thumbs up.

Went here with high expectations for first time for my birthday as a group of 9. Food did not disappoint, ambience was wonderful also. Service was spotty and value even worse.
Mentioned upon booking 4 weeks earlier that we were using our Entertainment card. Upon arrival mentioned we were paying by Citibank and would like to utilise the free bottle of wine offer. Waiter got the order wrong, despite checking 3 times although made up for it with a complimentary entree.
At end of evening we pulled out our entertainment cards and were told couldn't use Citibank and Entertainment offers together. Was told wine was $22 but received bill and it was $40. Was also charged $6.50 cakage which we knew beforehand, but charged $10ea to our 3 and 5yr old for their cakage. When we queried the bill with the senior staff, he said "we can't give you free main and free wine. We have to get something out of you."
Disclosure of the offer conditions and actual cost of products (wine, kids cakage surcharge) before ordering would have been appreciated. Won't be going back.

Outrageous! I booked for a group of 11 for a birthday. The restaurant called to confirm the booking. I informed them that we would be bringing a birthday cake and I was told that the cake surcharge would be $71.50. Unbelievable considering we would have spent well in excess of $1000 for the lunch. I cancelled the booking and rebooked somewhere else that welcomed our money. We didn't have to pay a cent to bring the cake as the owner was delighted to have 11 customers with expensive tastes. The owner of banjo patersons really should take course in what is good customer service as he has no idea.

Having dined at some of the top restaurants around the world, this one is right up there with them. Couldn't fault the perfect friendly service. Food five star and the ambience just perfect. This is class and style folks.

My partner and I spent a Tuesday evening at this restaurant and we were really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. Our waiter was excellent and knowledgeable, attentive but not overbearing. We both had the Beef Tenderloin, which was excellent and enjoyed a Sticky Date soufflé and Baileys Coffee for dessert. After being let down at so many places around Ryde we absolutely loved this place we were so happy to find somewhere close to home that was so excellent.
Comments about poor value for money are inaccurate. We were both very satisfied after bread, a main each, a shared dessert and two alcoholic beverages for just over $100.00… Quality service and food.

We went here on a Wednesday night, the waiter was so friendly and helpful, he really made the night. The food and the view were also fantastic! This was all complemented by a great wine list. A great restaurant for a romantic special dinner.

Great food! I had the scallops & the chicken breast which were cooked perfectly but the little dollop of sauces on each plate left me wanting more. Sadly, the drink service was abysmal with my empty beer left to lament for an hour without so much as being asked if I would like another. Later in the evening it appeared as though all the waiting staff were on a break as I looked around for more than 10 minutes to try & get the waitress to deliver the gluten free petit fors she promised at the start of the night. Overall good value but I want to enjoy a drink with my meal & not have to ask for someone to refill me.

My wife and I ate at Banjo's last night. We really did enjoy ourselves! The food was lovely. We had the risotto (excellent) and the snapper (perfect). But we found the layered brulee and biscotti a little flat and disappointing. The wait staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is terrific, with a sunset over the river and a lovely ambience in the old stone cottage.

Fantastic night out went here on a saturday night with my wife and everything from the moment we walked in until we left was impressive. There was a unique variety of options available from the menu, we had the duck and the quail. Both meals were very enjoyable, however, the duck was particularly good, the serving size of both meals were spot on. We were offered freshly baked rolls and complimentary sides with our mains.
The wine menu was extensive and it also had a selection of half bottles for those who need to drive home. The creme brulee was nice with contrasting flavors of lemon and lavender. The service from all the waiters was outstanding, attentive friendly and helpful with making selections from the menu. Its refreshing to experience service of this standard from all the staff.
The venue is a quaint little cottage with views of the Parramatta River. Ask for a window seat if available. The music selection matched the mood and ambience of the restaurant. It was also reasonably priced for the quality of the food presented.
Overall a great place which I would strongly recommend.
