Indifferent service. The coffee's okay but why would I go back again when the staff just don't seem to care.

Tried three times but no change, at least they're consistent.

I found very little of Mr Mangan's influence at Salt Grill. I'd describe the menu as standard 5 star hotel fare with a few (I recall three or four) "signature dishes."

Someone once said to me "don't sleep in restaurants and don't eat in hotels." Me thinks that's wise advice.

If you don’t live in Balmain Bistro Bruno is certainly worth travelling to.
Food, wine and service to please the customer. Relaxed, sophisticated and interesting, everything is just right! I left feeling thoroughly satisfied with my experience.

Coccos is my choice for the best Italian on the North Shore. Pizza is particularly good.

Terrible Terrible Terrible. Perhaps, "authentic" Mexican food is not for me. Uninteresting and stodgy.

Service was terrible. Main courses brought to the table only minutes after entrees. I mean our entrees were untouched. Waiter couldn't understand our problem. Large servings but most of ours went into the bin.

The obvious conclusion is, if this authentic Mexican food (as Dos Senoritas claim) then better not to eat Mexican! I couldn't possibly recommend this place to anyone.

Five visits to Ma Duggans since May 2011 and quality has fallen each time. Last week I had the pie and it was just disappointing. Perhaps, it's time for some self assessment.

Good yum cha, however, I've been there several times and quality seems to vary. Service is okay (it's a yum cha so don't expect silver service!) Certainly the best I've been to in Chatswood.
