Parramatta RSL Club is a great, inexpensive venue for food, entertainment and drinks…read more They have shows in the auditorium and Turbo Trivia on a Tuesday night which starts at 7:30 pm. Turbo Trivia is hosted by the notorious drag queen Portia Turbo. It's always good for a laugh and it packs out. Be sure to get there early to secure a table. There also is a Board Gamers meetup group that meets on a Monday night to play board games. Check meetup.com and search for the group Game Lovers for more information. The club also has a restaurant with Asian and Aussie cuisine which is reasonably priced. Discounts if you're a member. There is also a cafe who's serves coffee, tea and cakes. There is also a outdoors smokers area, snooker tables, pokie machines etc. Membership is cheap and also gives you access to the Castle Hill RSL Club for discounts for food and drinks, which is owned by the same people. Membership at Castle Hill RSL costs about $80 a year so having this access is a great bonus.

Recently opened for a few weeks, i have been meaning to try the restaurant. So a friend and I…read moredecided to stop by. You can choose to sit inside or in the outdoor courtyard which we opted to as the word heaters were mentioned. The courtyard is beautif Since they are still relatively new they menu is currently limited to two pages but they keep adding specials every week. The first page consists of tasting plates - Antipasti plates and the second consists of mains. We were advised that they encourage people to share all the dishes. We decided to get 4 items from the tasting menu so 2 cheese and 2 cold meats which came to $30 and bread was included for free! We got a basket of assorted crisp bread, crackers and multigrain to have with out tasting plates. I would have to say it may not look like much but the tasting plates can get filling so if you are getting mains as well best try not to eat all the bread! Staff were very attentive and helpful when it came to the selections on the menu. Overall, good first time visit. Looking forward to going back to try some of the mains. They also serve breakfast from 7am to 11am - I also would like to try this.

I ended up here by accident after the queue at another place was too long - and I'm glad we did!…read more First of all, if you come on a Sunday for brekkie make sure you take advantage of the 3hr free parking directly behind The Emporium in the parking station. What first really hits you about this place is the appearance. They've really gone to a lot of trouble and expense to give it a european feel and it works. There is a bakery and cafe window on one side opening out onto a small paved area with seats if you just wanted a coffee and a small bit to eat. If you head inside its divided up into three main parts; inside, upstairs, and the covered courtyard on the side. Just look at the photos - the place looks amazing. I'd read other negative reviews about their coffee - I usually go a latte with an extra shot and the coffee I got was as good as anything I'd had anywhere else. Foodwise I had the truffle oil scrambled eggs with parmesan on sourdough. I have to admit when it came out I though the serving was a bit small. But as I worked my was through it I realised it was just right. The staff were amazing too. It was almost like the service you get in the US - always topping up your water, checking on you, etc. Nothing was too much trouble. About the only downside I saw were the prices on their wine list - if drinking there doesn't earn you the Yelp high roller badge I don't know what will! They're great for a lazy breakfast and I'll definitely be back to try out their lunch and dinner offerings!

We picked Alex & Co for its location by the Parramatta River and the large, open dining spaces…read more There were tons of other restaurants as we walked down Church St, and we almost wanted to try something else, but in the end we stuck to it because we were comfortable with the menu choices of standard western fare (pizza, burgers, pasta). When we got there for lunch service on a Saturday, we were told that we could not be served in the main dining area because we didn't have a reservation, despite it being less than a quarter filled. That was fine, but I just found it really weird that for such a nice and large restaurant with so many servers we had to order at the bar and basically got no service. The bartender was nice enough, except when the host went by and chided her for pouring the drinks too full. The food tasted good though and the ambiance was good. 4 stars for location, ambiance, and food 2 stars for service

Passed by here and decided to give it a try before I go over for lunch next door…read more Upon entering the door, was greeted by a young chap. He asked me whether I would like lunch but I decided to go for specialty smoothie instead. Ordered "yellow smoothie" made up of banana, pear, orange and pineapple with milk or soy milk or almond milk. Needed some vitamin C to fight my cold. I was the first person who popped by here so I can't really comment on how the food arrive (fast/slow). I like how the smoothie is presented. In a glass bottle. Not too sweet and chia seeds are added (bonus). It has the pulps of the orange/ pineapple too. The portion is pretty good too for an affordable price. I like how the store is designed. Modern yet classic somehow. I like the color matches - from wall to furnitures. They provide lunches as well and their menu is a combination of Aussie and Italian menu. Do check it out if you are around this area :)

They've gone with a New York theme with heavily graffitied walls, hip hop beats & deli style sandwiches, meats & jaffles. The cocktail list is split into 3 sections of classics, modern & creamy all coming in a shade under $20 a pop created by genuine experienced mixologists. If cocktails aren't your go they also have a mixture of craft beers, a variety of wine & of course straight up spirits. Staff are all friendly, knowledgeable & happy to help.
