It appeared to be a beautiful restaurant on Glebe Point Road. Decent decor that would catch anyone’s attention. Had a look at the menu and it looked quite appetizing. I normally have a habit of asking the wait staff to recommend the best items on the menu. The waitress seemed zapped as though I asked her to come out on a date with me or something. She looked at me all puzzled and said everything on the menu is good. Not a very good first impression.

I decided to go for some basics, I ordered some garlic bread and the prawn risotto. It took them more that 25 minutes to get the garlic bread. I was starving by then. When it finally arrived, man I was so disappointed. They served me garlic bread which was soaked in butter. I am sure if I had squeezed the oil from the bread I would collect enough oil required to bake some cupcakes at home. I did not eat the garlic bread. I was simply amazed how a kitchen staff can get garlic bread this wrong.

After another 20 minutes the prawn risotto arrived. The dish had 3 prawns, I swear 3 prawns and a handful of cooked medium grain rice (not the rice used to make risotto). I felt like I was having Asian prawn fried rice served to me as an appetizer in a yum cha restaurant. An absolutely mockery of a wonderful dish called ‘Risotto’. If you have $25 to donate to Roxanne I would suggest you to go there or else you are better off having a burger at McDonalds.

Lovely restaurant, first visit. Service a tad keen but friendly. Shared the soft shell crab for entree. Never tried it before, not that impressed with the texture. The prawn and scallop risotto was very yum and my friend enjoyed her grilled salmon. Would definitely go again.

The Moroccan lamb cutlets were delicious — my partner wished she'd had that instead of the steak (which was fine). Neither of us loved the triple mash — it has parsnip in it, and to me it tasted a slightly sweet. But the garlicky spinach that came with my lamb was great, and the broccoli that came with her steak was nicely done, tender but not overcooked. We shared a very nice sticky date pudding and ice-cream for dessert. The service was fantastic. The waitress couldn't recommend the lamb or steak from experience, being vegetarian, but said the lamb cutlets were the most popular (now I know why!). She couldn't recommend a red, not being a wine drinker, but fetched the other waitress, who recommended a shiraz I subsequently enjoyed. Both were friendly as well as professional, and it really added to the pleasure of dining there. While they were busy, they didn't seem harried — there was quite a calm vibe to the place. The background music is also quiet enough that talking is easy. The night we were there, there were several family groups having a good time, but the long crimson curtains, candles and general look make it a nice place for a romantic dinner.

This restaurant does fabulous lamb cutlets and grilled salmon fillet. TBH, I really fed up with frozen fish in nearby cafes. Nice to have something fresh, healthy and delicious.

A few years ago, living in Glebe I used to walk past this restaurant with its opulent, Moulin Rouge inspired decor and vow that next time I ate out I would go there. Almost 2 years on, I finally made it to Roxanne.

Not sure if it has changed hands, but the funky decor has given way to "Nursing home" chic, complete with plastic flowers as table settings and bright lighting.

Many meals were no longer available (strengthening the idea that it has changed hands) and these were crossed off the paper menu with a permanent marker making it difficult to read the reverse side.

The food was uninspiring, the quality, at best, that of cheap pub bistro fare, and it was served a little cold too. I had the chicken katsu, and it tasted very processed, the version you would expect if McDonalds took on this Japanese mainstay.

I waited two years to visit Roxanne, but it seems I missed the boat.

Response from Management:
Thanks for visiting Roxanne. Yes, there was a change of management in the restaurant. I guess you probably dined in Roxanne 3 months ago. During that peroid of time, we had problem with the menu. We have fixed a lot of things now and we are planing to undertake some huge changes regarding lighting, decor and menu recently. Maybe next time, when you are around Glebe, you will walk pass a brand new Roxanne. Cheers!

We dined at the restaurant on Wednesday night for dinner. There were 2 other groups that were also dining that night apart from us.

We ordered the Chips side dish. (good size chips). Katsu Chicken, BBQ meats and the Atlantic Salmon. Once we ordered the food, it came out promptly within 20 minutes. The service was excellent and the food came out fresh and hot. The waiter took initiative and offered the menus and collected the plates at the appropriate moments.

Overall it was a good experience. Highly recommended.

Saturday lunch seems to be quite different to the experiences described in other reviews. We found the service, while friendly, to be hit or miss, and more than once we had to work hard to get some attention. Sandwich fillings were tasty, but there was a lot of bread for the amount of other ingredients. The salad vegetables were fresh and delicious, though the salad dressing was unusually spicy.

Nice intimate restaurant. Went with my wife early on a Sunday night. Service was good and not rushed even though there were only 2 tables occupied. Food was pretty average though. Had the BBQ plate and all meat selection were dry & overcooked. Not too expensive but shouldn't have been with the food quality.

They recently changed management, which has resulted in a different style of menu. They also seem to have more professional waiters.

We frequently go there on Sunday night (as it's one of the few nice restaurants open Sundays). Another attraction is that the place tends to be quiet and free of hectic, nice for a peaceful evening.

The food is, if anything, better than before. I had lamb chops, which were just perfect, and my partner had pasta with soft shell crab, which was really nice too.
