We booked for a 5 course degustation and I was expecting all that goes with that, given the price…read morerange. However, we waited 4minutes for the first course to arrive.. While tasty, I really couldn't see what the wait was for though. The staff, while friendly were not very attentive in my opinion and we hardly saw our host. I felt rather neglected and disappointed by the whole experience, especially how hyped it was and our previous experience at the FoxHole. I felt really let down and extremely disappointed. Honestly I don't think I will come here again and anyone considering eating here should be warned. You can honestly get better food and better service elsewhere considering the money you have to fork out at this place. I definitely do NOT recommend coming here!! It's been over an hour sine we've been seated and still not had the 2nd course ! This absolutely unacceptable. The gin is underwhelming and the food lacking. An hour and 15mins into service there is hardly any food to be seen on any of the tables around us, in fact no food to be seen on any of the tables. Shocking, just shocking. Two hours into service we have had 3 small dishes, which we had to share! I honestly am sooooo disappointed I can't express how much. Please do yourself a favour, do not waste your time or money on this overpriced shit hole!

Then disaster struck when our food tray was accidentally knocked off the table while I was trying to take a selfie. I felt so embarrassed and sorry as I thought we wouldn't get to try the delicious looking sweets which were still left on the tray. The staff were fantastic. The young manager, Aran (I think that's his name) promptly moved us to another table while he cleaned up and even replaced the sweets and despite me offering to pay for them they replaced them without extra charge. Fantastic customer service. He restored our afternoon and we came away feeling we had a very positive experience despite what happened because he managed the situation so well. Thank you so much. We highly recommend this place for the experience of Gin and Tea and for its great customer service. I definitely would like to return with a few more friends and experience more of this cosy fun place.

Unfortunately I can not recommend Lemon and Sin…read more There has clearly been a lot of effort put into the decor and menu, but the whole thing doesn't quite fit together. The goal seems to be a kind of wine bar experience with tasty food as an accompaniment. The drinks list is extensive, as it is expensive, so if choice is more important than cost then you may find what you are looking for. I did enjoy my gin and tonic with natural tonic water and quality gin. On the menu reads well, if a little eclectic, with mushroom Arancini sitting alongside Panang curry beef. We ordered the mushroom arancini, along with a curry prawn hotpot and the panang curry beef. The arancini was tasty and packed with mushroom flavour, but a little gluggy, would go well with a nice glass of red wine. The prawn and beef curries were both tasty, if a little on the small side, could do with bulking out the portions with vegetables or rice. The curries were served with roti which if done well may have held the meal together.... but the roti were cold and rubbery... so a miss there. The service was also slow and unprofessionally mis-timed. We also ordered a beetroot salad with orange,walnut and blue cheese, again a great concept and a tasty dish, but the presentation and presentation and delivery was a little dissapointing. All in all Lemon and Sin is a promising offering that under delivered for us. They pull together fine produce and drinks in a comfortable and pleasing location, but the delivery fell short on value, portion size and service. Gordon is a tricky and competitive restaurant environment, characterized by well to do families,retirees and professionals. Although the budget family diner is typically successful people will be willing to spend a bit more for a quality option that balances value with premium produce. However if you want to charge wine bar prices, the food needs to deliver a little wow to keep the clients happy! A restaurant in this area can not afford to drop its guard and under deliver, because they are not likely to get another chance from the choosy clientele of the upper north shore.

I had a flat white, a Bloody Mary, and then I ordered two breakfasts (yes two). I couldn't pass up eggs, but I also couldn't forget their pancakes. So I settled on the healthy stack, which was two pieces of toast smothered in goat cheese, tipped with rocket, tomato, avocado, and a poached egg and the. I got the pancakes with ricotta, Caramelized bananas and hazelnuts. The flat White was good and so was the Bloody Mary. The bloody was oddly sweet with a kick to it, but I liked it nonetheless. I did not like is hefty price tag though, as it was 18 dollars for a pretty small drink. For the food everything was delicious. The healthy stack tasted exactly like it sounded and it was a huge portion with two huge pieces of toast. And the pancakes were equally delicious. The ricotta was awesome And the whole table was glad I ordered them. Overall I would be back and I wanna check out their bar. The place is so cute and homey so I would recommend. Just bear in mind they don't do split checks and only except two cards if you have a large group.

Just off the main road in Oxford Square, The Commons is easily missed but a beacon of green plants out front promises an usual attraction and welcome. Matched by its wood interior and exceptional warm staff is a smile on anyone's face on a cold night. Unwittingly expecting something so different, this place hit all the right notes and needs. A Sunday night blackboard menu presented the whole main menu of the night as well as their specials. A Honey Risotto is the choice of the night for a warm filler with others selecting an equally choose dish of deliciousness. A quiet night meant the food is brought quick with all smiles warming our smiles as well as out stomachs with matching wine to each dish it's recommended too.

The Winery is a beautiful space. Dark, yet well lit by natural light, with decor and furniture to match the elegant look and feel.

This area is also lushly appointed with furniture and decor. We sampled oysters which were some of the best I've had (and I live in MD and eat oysters all the time!). We also had some sausage roll which was ok, but not my taste with the chorizo addition. Overall, great visit!

All the drinks on their menu were adorably named, gorgeously decorated and super delicious! Each candy inspired cocktail that I tasted had a nostalgic twist featuring yummy childhood treats. On top of that, the waft of food fresh out of the kitchen smelled wonderful and I would definitely want to give that a try next time. We went on a Friday night, during happy hour. All the tables were taken so we had to stand at the bar but it did not take long for a couple of seats to free up. The main cocktails are very decently priced during happy hour at only $10, but their normal price range is a little expensive for me. When this little bar is busy, it is very loud and not really a spot for conversation. But if beautiful and sweet drinks are your thing, absolutely swing by!
