I’ve dined at the Tasting Room 4-5 times for dinner and it’s been unfailingly good.

If you’re a beef eater you can’t go wrong with the Beef Wellington – after trying it on his first visit my husband has never ventured any further. I’ve worked my way through the menu and have always had good meals – though the gnocchi is overpriced at $27 for what is effectively some pasta with some tomato sauce and ricotta.

The hands down winner on the dessert front is the chocolate fondant which is cooked to order and absolutely divine. Someone from The Cornerstore in Brooklyn should visit for a lesson in what a fondant is supposed to be! However the creme brulee and apple tart tatin are also scrumptious.

As someone else has mentioned – if you want to hear the person you’re with ask for the a table on the left hand side. On my last visit we got seated on right (same side as the bar) and it was so insanely loud we literally had to yell and each other to be heard.

The service every time I’ve been there has always been efficient and friendly.

My sister and I dined here on Saturday night at Easter weekend. We arrived just after 6pm and were seated in the bar area (on quite high seats, but still comfortable). We shared the halloumi dish as a starter which was nice but nothing too spectacular.

I was having trouble deciding on my main, to the waiter suggested he take the menus away while we had the starter, and would bring them back afterwards. However the starter plate was cleared and no menus were returned, I had to go and ask for them.

My sister absolutely loved the pork dish and was still talking about it the next day. I had the Beef Wellington and asked if they would swap the potatoes for the vegetable of the day (beans and broccoli). They did this at no extra charge. However the serving of broccoli was one piece. The dish included a large pile of confit onions – tasty but too much. The Wellington was really really good, the beef was flavoursome and tender. The waitress said it would come out medium and it was.

Overall an enjoyable dining experience but perhaps a little too noisy, as we seemed to be seated in the bar area. I will return.

Ok went here on a friday nite and wanted to start our meal of with a drink on we have had before and was impressed manuka mule – received the drink which looked like it had the entire mint bush shoved at the bottom not to mention it tasted terrible decided to leave then and there. Just walkin out the waitress firstly asks us if we have paid for drink we reply yes but advise its terrible and she goes onto say it mite be because it was made in the wrong glass!! Never going bk there again.

Not bad, slightly expensive for the food available. But atmosphere is good

Took the partner here for his birthday, nice atmosphere. He got the pork belly and I got the calamari to start with – they were nicely cooked, but we both felt they could have been seasoned more. I had the beef wellington for my main, the pastry and gravy were delicious, however the beef was a little overcooked for my taste and abit dry. Desserts were fantastic. Great service, and a good all round experience.
