My husband and I must have caught this restaurant on a bad night as we were very disappointed with our dining experience. We did only stumble across The Rooster on a foggy night whilst being unable to find the Indian we had been recommended to go to.
The sour dough bread was very tasty, but left us and our table bathed in a coating of crumbs which was only cleaned up after the main courses were finished. For starter my husband had the lamb kidneys which were tasty and I the pate, both of these were of a good standard and the portions were very generous.
But the Venison pie, both of us stupidly had the same dish. We tend to choose dishes in restaurants that we wouldn't usually cook at home and the venison sounded like a good choice. The meat was as tough as old boots and full of gristle, I was very disappointed with the quality of cuts they must have used. The pie was $28 each and not to the standard of a cheap pub meal. Neither of us were able to finish even half of the pie.
The staff did not ask for any feedback. I wouldn't dine here again.

We went here a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday night. Loved the atmosphere that allows you to feel as if you are in a traditional European family house. The service was a little bit slow at first and we were about to walk out due to being unattended after 20 minutes waiting while the other patrons who came after us were being attended first.
But gradually the service was improving. We had cheese souffle and escargot for entree and lamb rack and seafood casoulet for main, and a mango merengue (could not really remember the real dessert name) to share for dessert. The souffle's sauce was lovely but the souffle was a little bit too sweet for my other half's taste. The escargot was good as I expected. The cassoulet was served with tomato base sauce instead of creamy sauce which made it 'lighter' for my taste, but still nice.
The lamb rack was excellently prepared medium rare as requested. The dessert was also lovely. We spent $196.00 for two including 3 glasses of wine, tea, coffee, and an additional sour dough bread. It was a pleasant experience. But I don't think we would call this a French restaurant. It's more a West European restaurant with French taste.

Maybe I am getting a little jaded, but while the location, the service and the wine were very good, most of the food my partner and I selected was very average in both taste and presentation. You can pretty much tell what the food will be like when the salad which arrives on the plate looks like the kind you are served in shopping complexes, an iceberg lettuce leaf acting as a container for pieces of tomato and cucumber.
The goat’s cheese tart tasted half-ok but the presentation was discouraging, the kidneys tasted only of lamb urine, and the orange duck, while passable, lacked any real zing. I think this restaurant is overdue for ‘rebirthing’.

I had a wonderful evening here with all my friends. It was a special evening for all of us. I am glad we chose this restaurant. Some of the most memorable dishes . Lovely wine selection too. The service here is quite personalized and upbeat as it is a small place.

My wife and I ate at the Rooster over the January long weekend. It was fantastic.
This is a restaurant that knows it's not 3 star (or 3 hat) quality and doesn't pretend to be. Instead it is a quality establishment with excellent food, service and atmosphere at very good value. I would definitely go back again when next in the mountains.

Easily the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. The service is wonderful, lovely, polite and informative gentleman who is attentive but not intrusive and wonderfully thoughtful. The food is fantastic, myself and another had the Munster Cheese Souffle which exceeds all reviews. It is to die for. For mains there was the duck which was fantastic and the reviews of the other dishes (forgive me I can not remember) were just as good. Finally with a creme brulee that could break hearts, we rolled out of there happy and full.
It was an experience, we were allowed time to let each course settle and to go out onto the balcony to gawk at the amazing scenery between meals. Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant.

What a little gem this restaurant proved. On the coldest October day in 25 years we had booked in for dinner and really we were not feeling like venturing outdoors for our short drive from Wentworth Falls. So glad we did as the food was fantastic. As it was a Wednesday night there was only 2 other tables of 2 dining so service was spot on.
As the food is not prepared we were aware there would be a little wait before our orders arrived, however, the yummy sourdough bread kept us happy till our entrees arrived. Our entrees of cheese souffle and goats cheese tart were beautifully presented and we gave them 10/10.
Our mains of Cassoulet and Veal Escalope were also top ten. The side dish of vegies (which was included in the $55/person for 2 courses) was one of the best I have enjoyed with asparagus, corgettes, runner beans, broccoli served on top of potatoe grattin. We both were full to overflowing as we rolled out the door to the bitterly freezing night having had such a wonderful meal.

Quality French dining in the mountains. Escargot is excellent. Waiters very attentive and the meals were arranged and customised very well to suit our 2 adult 2 child family. We will be back for sure.

We went to the place for my boy friend birthday. Love the place and ambience! The waiter (forgot to ask his name) was such a gentleman, he was so patience to explain the menu since I had so much question. And I thought we've been seat the best table, we enjoyed the view so much. What a great night!

I came here with my parents in 1992 and it was such a special place. The food, ambience, service. I came back again recently (I had to pay this time!) and am not disappointed. Please try and keep it to yourselves how wonderful it is as I want a place to come next time I visit The Blue Mountains.
