Unlike the song, which gets annoyingly stuck in your head, this little gem is anything but tiresome. What you will find on the menu is an interesting fusion of Asian and European dishes. Perfect venue for a quiet and romantic dinner.

Chef's signature dish Char Grilled Lamb Cutlets is a must try. Alternatively, you can share a Mixed BBQ Plate with your friend if you are really meat lovers. For those who love seafood, you will definitely enjoy the house special Mixed Seafood Hotpot in rich spicy Napoli sauce. There are also many other innovated meat and seafood dishes you can try out in Roxanne.

Risotto and pasta dishes are also available at very reasonable price for casual dining, which is perfect for a quick pre-theatre meal.

Been here twice. Service was ok. Both times food was Very average quality, on the smaller portion side and thus Very overpriced.

It's pretty inside though and close to the free Broadway Shops car park and that's pretty much it.

Lavish decor makes for great ambience. Think red velvet curtains and recessed chandeliers. Unfortunately, the positives stop there. The food was terrible and the waiter kept hovering over everyone. We ordered the scotch fillet and the atlantic salmon. The salmon was nice enough with crispy skin but was served on cold veg and tasteless mash. The "scotch fillet" looked and tasted like a cheap cut of beef you could buy from coles/woollies and was also served on a bed of cold spuds. We've had better $5 pub steaks! there's lots of other restaurants in glebe to try. Don't waste your money on this one.

I brought some New York friends here one night, and it was Ok. The food was fairly pleasant and the atmosphere good. Service wasn't great but we were talking the legs off the wooden chairs so it didn't matter. So thought might try it for lunch on a Saturday. Now Saturday in Glebe is always busy what with the markets, the strollers (both human and baby transport) and the general "scene" so the fact that there was plenty of room seemed odd.

Well, soon found out why. The staff were so completely disinterested they could hardly bother to come near us. You could say to them "hullo, hullo" and you'd think they had forgotten to turn their hearing aids on. (They were all young, btw).

The food was very scanty on the plate for quite a high price, I could go through it in detail but can't be bothered really but honestly shredding up some lettuce with a tasteless dressing and putting some protein source on top of it does not make a meal. And not even a bit of bread came with it. Time passed, we finally ordered some dessert which was the best thing about the meal, and for the two of us it cost $60.

This is such a nice space, in such a convenient location, you'd think it would be a perfect place for lunch. Well, it isn't, and looking back on it, dinner wasn't so great either. Give it a miss.

Went using a voucher. Great value considering voucher. Shared entree plate of soft shell crab, salt and pepper squid, fruit salsa and dumpling, dumpling great! S and P squid sadly lacking salt and pepper! Soft shelled crab very mediocre.

Main course was Fantastic! Moroccan lamb cutlets best I have had for many years! Partner had scotch fillet which was very good and cooked as asked and very tender. Couldn't have been better. Dessert... lemon/lime pie shared, again, think they left out the lemon/lime... more like a cheesecake. Needed icecream to go with it. 2 glasses of wine completed the meal. Would I go back? Yes. Prepared to give it another go.

Service needs tightening. Bit slack on collection of dirty plates and things seemed to come out a bit haphazard. Could be due to the fact that only 2 waitstaff were on yet it was very busy. Needed another person on the floor.

Response from Management:
Thanks for reviewing our restaurant. We carefully will look into all the issues you have pointed out for us! Look forward to seeing you soon!

Ok food, nothing special except for the lamb which was very nice. Service was outstanding, friendly, pleasant and very attentive despite the place being full on a Sat evening and us having a $39 voucher (for 3 courses + wine). I marked the value down because I consider poor value paying $104 (the undiscounted price) for the meal we had.

Response from Management:
Thank you for your visit. We will start our exciting new menu from next week. I believe the new menu will deliver our customers with better taste at more reasonable price. See you next time!

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.

Response from Management:
Thanks for visiting Roxanne Restaurant and sorry for disappointing you. However, for the risotto, we only use arborio short grain rice. If you didn't like the way our chef cooking the risotto, we do apologize for that.

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.
