Wonderful evening and dinner. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and creates a great atmosphere with the live piano. Came here with a voucher, the head waiter was very frank and sometimes rude. I had the trout and my partner had the gnocchi which were both great. Recommended but without a voucher, quite pricey.

Used spreets voucher. Food and ambience are just perfect. The only complaint was we've got to have the wine they offered, can't choose other even if they are under $30. Waiter is professional but tended to be a little rude, coz we used the voucher?

The legend is still alive. Its definitely due for renovation, but this restaraunt is in my top list. Light, soft music and furniture from the 60's, its very cosy and perfect for dinner. The menu doesn't have much variety, their daily specials complete the menu. Steamed vegetables are still served by the waiter Silver service and they make sure that you feel like a king. From the food selection, I can recommend grilled fish (john dory) cooked to perfection with vegetables that taste very fresh.

During dinner waiter was making sure that every element is in order. The Wine selection is amazing. The value considering that you feel very important and special is great. Don't get surprised if on wednesday night you dine with only 6 people in the restaraunt. It looks very very private.

Elegant place for dining, had a restricted menu for 14 people. The Lamb rump and jindalee beef fillet are recommended. Live piano player was great.

I have been coming here for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. The waiting staff are experienced professionals and have been there a long time. Good to see you again Victor. The food is wonderful and fresh and a great variety.
Sitting there makes me like being on the Queen Mary. I hope to be back soon.

We've recently been to this restaurant for our anniversary and it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I don't know why there is even one negative review on this site, but they probably don't know what good food and service is like!

To start with, our orders were taken as soon as we closed the menu! The service is excellent, one waiter had all our room under control and he was just fantastic and very professional. He kept filling our water glasses all night, and I checked that he attended to the other tables just as well. We received a complimentary pumpkin soup as a starter in a cool long shot glass (so did the other guests) which tasted fantastic. The food came out in a reasonable time,as we waited long enough to know that it was not some frozen reheated stuff but it didnt take a ridiculously long time either.

We ordered prawns for the entree to share and it was beautiful, (coming from a person who's not so crazy about seafood!). I had the ocean trout and my boyfriend had a steak for the main, and we ordered some roast potatoes and a salad on the side. All these dishes came out at the same time, perfectly done as we asked them! The potatoes were just perfect, the salad fresh and tasty. My boyfriend is especially picky (Italian background, really knows his food) and nobody can ever make his steak rare, it is usually way overdone, and he did not have a complaint all night! The dishes were reasonably sized, nothing like those totally ridiculous portions that some restaurants serve where quantity matters more than quality! At this place, sizes are still generous, and neither of us could finish our meals.

The atmosphere is great, the music is kept low and you can actually talk to each other! At the end, I got some tea and got some more complimentary stuff like biscuits and mints. We didn't have to wait for our bill for ages, and the prices are reasonable. This page does not give the correct prices about this place, as the entrees are all under $20, the mains were mainly around $27-35 and the desserts around $10-15. This is normal even in a no-big-deal restaurant with horrible service!

It is a place where we'll definitely return!

Beautiful. But sadly this type of fine dining (Edwardian style) establishment is gone and replaced by ugly noisy modern eating places where you can't hear yourself talk.

Esperanto transports you back in time, a time where a meal is enjoyed in the quiet elegant ambience of soothing live piano music, silver service and good wine.
Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Good traditional food and none of these fusion stuff they dish out.

I was thinking Winston Churchill & Humphrey Bogart must have dined like this in their time, so civilised and stress free. This is probably one of the last remaining places in Sydney that oozes elegance and class.

You're kidding right ? These reviews can only have been written by staff members. If you think the food here is a 10, you'll find the MSG laden highly sugared sweet and sour pork at the local bowling club a revelation !! You'll have to rate that an 11.

Response from Management:
No matter what restaurant, City Tattersalls always strives to source and use only the freshest and finest quality products available. Our menus change seasonally to ensure we use produce when it is in prime condition. Our reviews are not written by staff, judging by winning first placed Gold in the 2009 NSW Chef's Table Award for Culinary Excellence.
