Bartolo

Dined here mid Feb. Wanted to try their bottomless brunch however there was a minimum of 4 people so just opted to get a few things. Our table was initially inside however the the tables inside were so loud that we couldn’t even hear our table talking. Thankfully we were switch tables to outside which felt much more relaxed & more easy for the ear. The service was friendly & fast. The food was also tasty & would like to come back here to try the pasta dishes.

The staff were really lovely and the atmosphere was great just out of lockdown. The food however was pretty average for the price and felt the menu was limited. The oysters were great. But then went for the 900g rib-eye between two probably a mistake on my behalf as it’s Italian restaurant but was overcooked and for $98 was definitely overpriced.

Attended on Valentine's Day and it was overwhelmingly busy. Very romantic and dark setting with candlelight. We thought the food was very average yet you did receive a lot of items on the set menu. However, unsure if it was worth the $90pp. Most of the dishes were received cold like the Steak and Pasta. However, main critique was the unsatisfactory waiting times, I understand its a packed night but we spent 40 minutes seated without ordering while waiting for drinks (which was just Champagne) and 20-30 minutes between each course. Was a good night, regardless.

Aside from the food that was quite tasty everything else was very disappointing. The manager who was working on the Sunday was not helpful or accomodating at all. We had a booking at 1pm and they had us outside however it was quite windy so we asked if we could sit inside until 2:30pm and we’d be happy to move when the 2:30pm slot arrives however she was not helpful at all. The portions also for 5 people was so little. It was equivalent to shares for 2 people. And on top of that she charged us an extra $100 until we had to reevaluate the receipt and correct her.
