Australasia Restaurant And Bar

Hadn’t been to Australasia in a while. We were pleasantly greeted by Judah who give us a run down on the menu. Unfortunately, the only vegan big plate wasn’t available however the rest was. We decided to order lots of small plates and sides which were organised by Judah and brought out in ‘waves’ which meant we had a constant stream of good food! We were both very hungry and around 5 small plates and sides each was adequate to fill us both up perfectly (we can eat…) We were slightly worried that the small plates dishes wouldn’t be filling but we were pleasantly surprised. The service from Judah was excellent, I am glad our evening was in his hands. We eat out a couple of times a week and this has to be the best service we have experienced in a very long time. There was a slight hiccup with the coffees but running a bar and restaurant ourselves, we inferred that this was human error and no fault of Judah’s himself. That being said, we were in no rush and the coffees did arrive after some time so we were happy. Judah made sure of that. We had come here for a special celebratory occasion and it did not disappoint. I didn’t rate the edamame beans dish all that much however this came out first, and the rest of the food and service made up for it. I honestly feel that the experience would have been average without Judah. However he made sure we had a lovely evening so hats off for that, big thanks! Last time I came to Australasia it was slightly pretentious however this time they took a slightly more casual approach, which as a younger couple made me and my partner feel at ease and relaxed to enjoy the food and our drinks. Our wine was topped up without asking, same with the water. Judah was friendly, as was the other waiter who brought a wave of food and it was easy to have a laugh with the front of house staff. The food was excellent and I highly recommend the tempura avocado, shiitake dumplings and tempura popcorn which were my personal favourites! However they were all very tasty. Thanks to Judah for making sure we had a nice evening.

If I were on a date I might have given it a higher rating, I think because we were a big group our food arrived after 4-5 glasses of wine despite having a set menu booked for us in advance. Regardless, the food was spot on, the atmosphere was fun and the cocktails were delicious!!! If everything was managed more efficiently it would’ve been the perfect dining experience. Kudos to the chefs 👌

The food was amazing. the service was as good as we've had at Michelin Star restaurants without the price tag. Chris, who looked after us, was phenomenal. Engaging, interested, and attentive. The price tag attributed below, was us buying expensive wine. They didn't have what we wanted in stock and they discounted the next best thing because of it. Would go again and again. Top notch, keep it up guys.

Great atmosphere and decor. Chic but cosy. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We (2 of us) had 4 small plates, followed by mains, then a shared dessert. You can see the chefs at work in the kitchen (not just at the pass) and they clearly love what they do. One chef was dancing along to the music! We booked 3 weeks in advance and could only get a table at 5.45pm on a Friday night. Top notch, highly recommended.

delicious. definitely different and especially loved the sticky belly pork skewers! coconut rice was quite dry tho and not what i was expecting. overall a good experience. did go for a birthday which was mentioned to the staff when booking, but seemed to be no acknowledgement of it. would've been nice.

Wir waren als Geschäftsessen zum Sushi essen dort. Wir hatten zwei verschiedene Sushi-Platten, Edamame, Garnelen Tempura, eine Flasche Wein, zwei Flaschen Wasser. Alleine die Präsentation des Essens ist der absolute Hammer. Und es sah nicht nur unglaublich gut aus es war auch super lecker Eine klare Empfehlung (Translated by Google) We went there for a business lunch to eat sushi. We had two different sushi platters, edamame, shrimp tempura, a bottle of wine, two bottles of water. The presentation of the food alone is absolutely amazing. And not only did it look incredibly good, it was also super tasty A clear recommendation
