This is a great little find. Great food matched by very attentive service makes for an excellent night. And it is BYO only. Will be back again soon.

It is fantastic when once in a while you find a diamond in the rough of all that is restaurants in Sydney. We 'walked in off the street' because from the outside the ambience looked great. Little did we know, we would be treated to some of the best food we have sampled in our 3 years in Sydney, which was complimented by family members from Europe who have travelled a fair bit around Australia saying this was the best 'tucka' they had sampled on the East Coast.
Food was fresh, service was fast and Ray & Wayne were absolute darlings looking after us. We cannot share any negative views. Even if we wanted to, we could not give a negative comment! Dutchies off the street.

Razors Edge has never let me down. The service in this place is impeccable which is led by the owners who really care about this wonderful Enmore institution. The menu changes with the seasons and offers up really heart felt food. It is a warm inviting place and I will always keep coming back to the wonderful ambience and food it has given me and my family and friends.

Having read the reviews, we turned up prepared for anything. What we got was a very good evening. The service was attentive without being obsequious and the food was very good, fresh ingredients and beautifully cooked. I've paid a lot more in other places for food not as good as this. The pictures of the restaurant online don't do it justice, it's a lot more stylish and comfortable than these pictures lead you to believe, especially the outside courtyard.
I would have no hesitation in either going back again or recommending it to friends. I'm glad the management took the time to defend themselves from negative reviews here, based on our experience, we didn't find any evidence that would support the negativity expressed by others here.

We had a terrific experience at the Razor’s Edge months ago and were looking for a restaurant to celebrate Pete’s birthday, so returned again. Recent negative reviews on Eatability worried us somewhat, but the booking was made and we were on our way, so there was no turning back. Staff greeted and settled us with their usual caring manner, highly apologetic for two of the options on the menu no longer being available.
This is not a problem as it suggests to me that produce is fresh enough that it isn’t stored in bulk in a freezer to be simply reheated and, as I told the waiter, as long as we’re advised, it’s fine. After divvying up dishes so that we got to try four, instead of two, options, we ordered and waited in the cosy nook at the front of the restaurant. The kangaroo with sesame and kim chee was interesting, the kangaroo could have been any kind of red meat it was so thin and it was over-shadowed by the texture of the sesame seeds and the robust kim chee.
Pete had a head of roast garlic with goat cheese and toasted, buttery bread, surprisingly simple but perfect. Our chosen mains were delightfully different, eggplant cannelloni and crispy-skinned duck breast. Both were delicious, although not quite spectacular. We finished with a shared cheese platter. That the restaurant is BYO and we were able to have 2 entrees, 2 mains and a dessert for $100 means that the restaurant is a winner in terms of value.
While everything was perfect, the food (except for the roast garlic) did not knock our socks off. Even so we are keen to return again and again to try their variations on classic ingredients and enjoy the venue, service and value.

I've dined at the Razor's Edge twice and both times I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Perhaps, because I go out to relax, eat and have a good time and not for the purpose of picking on everything. Good on management for defending itself.

I was contemplating bringing a group of friends to this restaurant but given the inconsistency in the reviews, and the defensive comments from management on this site, I am going to pass.

I have eaten at Razor's Edge through several incarnations and have always enjoyed the experience. Well, maybe when they were a risotto only eatery it was not so crash-hot. Last week's experience was a good one.
Service is friendly, attentive and informative (especially the warnings of what's playing at the Enmore theatre, so you know what crowds to expect and when, when you book). Everything was well timed to meet our theatre deadline.
The restaurant was not full. Prices are high enough to push most of the passing clientele to the cheap Thai places, but aren't overpriced for what you're served.
Food-wise, a little disappointing this time. A cold soup that promised a bit of zing, but didn't deliver and a salmon (substitute for the ocean trout) was cooked perfectly, but a bit bland. Desserts were spot-on.

Good little restaurant all round. My wife loved her dish, my steak was cooked perfectly, although the steak itself was no better than a decent pub steak. Service was prompt and friendly (my only minor complaint was the waiter not noticing the empty beer glasses, I find it frustrating with BYO that they take your own beer away from you and then you almost feel bad for interrupting a passing waiter to ask for your own beer back when they're not noticing that your glass is empty! Not a major issue, but something that I believe marks out great waiting staff from the good).
Value was good, side dishes maybe a touch pricey for what you get but they did comp my side dish as I opted for the steak without the risotto, which is the sort of thing you hope happens rather than expect to happen. Being a fussy non-foodie (I'm a simple meat and potatoes man) I often find myself in nice restaurants because my wife enjoys a much wider range of food than I.
I often have to face being the fussy sort who has to ask the waiter for ingredients to be removed from a dish or ask for 'just' this or this 'without' all the trimmings, then you play the waiting game unsure if they really 'got' that you are a fussy moron who doesn't like all the stuff that chefs love. I found The Razors Edge to be pretty good in this regard, my steak came with some sauce around the edge and a knob of something (herb butter?) on top. As long as the items are easily removed, ignorable or avoidable, I'm a happy chappy.

It's been a while since I've been to this restaurant so I thought I'd check out the reviews. I am amazed at the management responses to the bad reviews. They are so sarcastic and cutting. Instead of being genuinely interested in the reviews of paying customers, every negative comment is responded to with vitriol. Surely people are allowed to have and express their opinions, and there may be something management might learn from these reviews.
I am too scared to go to this place if that is how the senior staff treat their customers. I also wouldn't want to eat food made by such grumpy people. From my memory of the place a few years back, the atmosphere was tense and the dishes quite unusual, some worked for me, some didn't.
