First date with Nickel selected as venue generated great
excitement. The website photos are beautiful and as I entered the restaurant,
reality did not disappoint.
Unfortunately, the waiter was too busy being fabulous to
even recognise that I had walked through the door, so after being ignored, I
visually located my dinner partner and sat myself down.
We were located at the couples tables at the front of the
restaurant and although I was alarmed at first (I didn’t want my neighbours
listening to my first-date banter), I was somewhat relieved that this was
impossible. The restaurant was so noisy I could barely hear my date. He also
complained of the distraction of passing foot traffic on the...
Upon prompt arrival they forgot about reservations even though we called to confirm earlier.
Unwelcoming first impression by the women - no smile or anything. told us to go to the bar and they fix our table up. No room at the bar, we felt awkward. She was not friendly.
We were finally seated and that was that. Down the back next to two couples on either side. No wine menu given or even special run through. We flagged a waiter down and put our food order in. Funny guy but could not hear him as they have concrete floor and its so loud. We all had scream at each other as the tables depth is to far - to move in close to have a conversation. Not easy to chat. Lighting is very bright as well.

Unfortunately I think that this establishment is a victim of their own success. The food was ok depending on what you ordered but service is really their downfall. Understandably Saturday nights are definitely the busiest nights of the week for any restaurant, but it seemed the place was under staffed. It took us half an hour and yelling out to wait staff to be served, even just for drinks! Took hours for food to come out. When they called to confirm my online booking it was more than a week later and they told us that we're being sat at high table due to a function, which they long knew about when I made the booking. Most restaurants I've been to follow up on bookings the day after for onli...

The food was gorgeous we are the Morton bag bugs and the beef with potato galette.
Like others have said, the service was terrible from the very beginning as soon as we walked in the door. We had to hunt down staff to order drinks and food. My cocktail was terrible. Extremely sour. Our deconstructed cocktails came with no explanation of what anything on the board was.
The atmosphere also isn't great, lighting way too bright and I don't remember hearing any music. The decor in the restaurant is beautiful but some of the seating is quite awkward.
Would come back only for the food- only if they get new staff!
Forgot to mention: the waiter chased us outside once we had paid and left to go...
Decided to do a walkin on Friday night, we were promptly seated at the high bar in the back which was more than acceptable as the place was packed with diners. We decided to indulge and share a dozen oysters Rockefeller as an entree and they were some of tyre nicest I've had in Australia, not up to the standard of the traditional ones you'll have in the states, but still impressive. Mains were confit duck and the scallops, both of which were incredible...topped off with a wonderful Grenache, it wad a prefect end to a great day. Only downside was our waiter was obviously new and learning the restaurants software system, which caused a couple of minors issues, but they were totally understanda...
Great dining experience the food was amazing nice influence of French and Spanish food. The waiter was hilarious and his know how about all the wines was impressive

Had brunch here which seems a bit out of place for a dressed up restaurant, but I was willing to give it a shotStaff were quite pleasant and attentive.
Very disappointed. Nice enough decor and drinks but service was marginal and no one cared that I didn't eat most of my meal (which was inedible )
