Grazing did not dissappoint. We had the Pork and Salmon as entrees, the Duck, Beef Cheeks and a side of Greens for the main course and the Quince Tarte Tartine to finish off. All was well presented and full of flavour. An added bonus was the P.J. Reid Pale Ale on tap, brewed for Grazing by a Canberra brewer. All in all, highly recommended.

If you go in the summer, they have a special menu, which makes it cheaper than most posh places in Canberra (and it's better than all with the exception of the 2617 group's offerings. On the summer menu, don't miss the Ox Cheek and if you can tell me what the unexpected flavor is, please PM me. Great wine selection. Worth the trip. Recommend staying our there, too.

The menu is full of classic dishes beautifully presented and of a very high standard, thank you chef. Scallops to start were the best we have had, pretty good for a restaurant far inland. My main of beef cheeks on mash was worthy of a 10 from Pete & Manu and dessert of chocolate trilogy finished off a fantastic meal. The warm chocolate filled fondant topped with a chocolate drenched blackberry was perfection. Trust me, this place is good. Faultless and attentive service too from owners who are obviously passionate about their business.

A new eating marvel has arrived in Canberra. From the moment you physically approach XO you sense…read moreyou are about to experience something special. Instantly the magnificent black and white mural on the outside wall, with a dash of red lips captures one's attention. It is defining and divine. Come inside and you are greeted by a serene, minimalist but highly attractive fit out. It is really elegant with one wall of the restaurant so effectively back lite and the opposite displaying some of the fine wines that are available. A variety of seating options including sitting at tables, at high tables or the long table, the latter two both on stools...there is something for everyone. Most of all it is really comfortable. It has highly effective soft lighting which adds a sense of calm and the focus on reducing is noticeable. And a deft touch is that the chefs are visible to all those dining. The menu is really interesting in its structure particularly with three categories prior to desserts. Starters, small plates and larger. The highlight of the visit is definitely the food, and the headline should read something like 'modern flavours overlay authentic dishes.....the dishes are fresh, fragrant and fascinating'. Over two visits we have enjoyed nearly every dish. Some of our early favourites include the Shantung Bao, with its twice cooked pork belly with cucumber, pickled daicon and ginger'...a stunning starter and the Steamed Dumplings are so good too. From the Small Plates we enjoyed the Xiu Mai, the slow cooked vietnamese balls with tomato sugo while from the larger the Barramundi Fillet was exceptional. So too were the Crispy Lamb Ribs in a sticky plum sauce.... a must have dish. All plates are for sharing which adds another great dimension to experiencing all the flavours and tastes. The wine list has really been carefully matched with the dishes and an added feature is the strong orientation to the high quality local wines. Notables local wines include Nick O'Leary, Clonakilla, Ravensworth, Eden Road and so on. A great list and something there for everyone's preference and palate. One of the best wine lists I have seen. The XO team are a delight, they are caring and sufficiently attentive. The whole focus is on the customer, the quality, the satisfaction and enjoyment. XO is a marvel...for a new eatery experience this was the best I have ever had. I can only imagine how good this place with be in a next few months...a 10 out of 10 experience on both occasions.
