What a mind blowing experience. I could not believe how much flavor was in the smallest things on my plate. I found the food challenging in a good way and the overall experience very exciting. It may not be a cheap meal but it was certainly worth every dollar.

Special mention to the Goats cheese dessert which was so tantilising my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Can't wait to go back!

Whilst the restaurant was pleasant I think the food was too overworked and the dessert was so ordinary I can't even remember what it was. It was also the most expensive meal I have had for a long time and definitely wasn't worth it.

The food and ambience were good. The vegetarian dishes were good. The rest average. Do not expect value and will leave a hole in your wallet. Staff not friendly and you get very little attention. Not sure what the hype is all about.

We had the vegetarian degustation menu. All the dishes were great and some were truly amazing. It's not cheap but a great culinary experience for vegetarians. Service was both efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We'll be back!

Fantastic food, the tasting menu is great and broad in the dishes that were covered.

The matching drinks were nice, especially the female-brewed sake we were lucky to trial on our last visit.

Pre-drinks at the bar before a meal are always great fun, the bartender is always on-hand to create something new to suit tastes.

My only regret is not being able to have enough room left to also indulge in the dessert tasting menu... hopefully next time!

Exceeds expectations for a small casual looking corner bar. Well deserved reputation for great vegetarian options. The dessert tasting platter definitely has the "wow" factor.

We went to the Bentley for my partners birthday, staff were aware of this and we were looking forward to going as we had been meaning to try this restaurant for some time.

I was contacted twice on the day to confirm the booking and after reassuring them we were coming we were left waiting 10 minutes for our table after the reservation time, after arriving 15 minutes early, and having a drink at the bar. People seated after us were serve drinks and food before us. At the end of the meal we were charged for drinks we did not have and to top it off the head waiter clarified with the bar staff, in front of me, she said she didn't have these drink, did you make them for her'.

It was a disappointing end to what was meant to be a great night out. I would not be recommending this restaurant.

Two of us booked for early Saturday night and we got the tasting menu. I eat everything and my partner doesn't eat red meat but they were happy to adjust each of the courses adding or removing ingredients or simply serving an alternative dish. Service was very good with attentive and pleasant staff and only a couple of points missed but it was probably the best aspect of the night.

One dish was left, a fish (can't remember what) in a white source but it was strange tasting. The rest of the dishes were nice but only the dessert was outstanding, at the end of each we weren’t wow'd and I went home a bit hungry which isn't what I expect from a $120 meal. I think they do a dessert tasting menu and I'd only go back for that.

Food at Bentley's was nice, although I'm not sure if you could taste the "two hats". I thought the restaurant was quite crowded, with tables pushed too close together and, therefore, lacking intimacy, but the atmosphere was relaxed and non pretentious. The service was good and if you are looking for a good meal out with friends rather than a romantic evening with your partner, Bentleys is a good choice.
