1884 Wine and Steak Bar

very disappointed

I've heard of this place from The Entertainment book. I made a booking for 8 people (for 8pm that night) at around 10:30am and have requested a copy of the menu emailed to me but have not received it until 5:30. By that time I have already left home so the menu was useless.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, the host took a long time to greet us, leaving us standing at the threshold of the restaurant. When they finally noticed us and showed us to our seats, it took about 15 minutes before the menu was given to us - minus the wine list. We sat there with the menu for another THIRTY minutes - waiting to order, the waiter was just walking past us and did not take notice nor did he ask if we were ready to order. We finally got sick of their service and left the restaurant.

This is not acceptable considering it was not even busy, they only had 1 other table occupied. The entire place was empty for a Saturday night!

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Such a shame considering the ambience of the place, very intimate.

The one and only aspect I've enjoyed was the ambiance of the restaurant. It is located within the Somerset Gordon Place serviced apartment at Bourke Hill. That building is a heritage building and it is beautifully kept. Visit blog

It was a very beefy yummylicious dinner. Lovely Visit blog
