I would give this zero stars if I could. Writing on behalf of 8 people here. We are writing this…read morereview because we wrote to them and received no response. I have never once had an experience at a restaurant that was this disappointing. We made a booking for a private room - the cellar room for a party of 8 for a christmas party. We were told that the private room was only available at 8pm and chose Beppis over other restaurants. Although deposits were only required for 10 or more people for private rooms, they required us to pay a deposit even though we were a group of 8 and we paid it anyways. We also called and confirmed the booking with the restaurant on three separate days prior to the dinner and on all three occasions we were informed that the booking was for the private cellar room. When we arrived they told us bluntly that the private rooms have been booked out since october and just gave us a random table at the restaurant. We would have gone to other places but it was late by then (we also did not want to have dinner at 8pm but they told us the room was only available then). No refunds. It was their nonchalent reaction that really gave us the shits.They said something along the lines of "What do you want? If you want to file a complaint - go ahead". This is absolutely misleading. We understand that it is not the waiters fault and they gave us a round of limoncello shots afterwards but it was terribly disappointing. Also... telling us Mark Walberg visited your restaurant a few days before does not help the situation. The food was alright; the ambience was intimate - nice interior. We were really looking forward to celebrating christmas at Beppis but this... was a whole new low.

So you feel like some fancy itallian do you? Well you picked the right place.... Beppi's prides…read moreitself on being excellent Itallian food - and it is - if you're willing to pay the price.... Beppis is a tiny little restaurant off from Stanley Street. It's the kind of place you would need to know about in order to find it. As soon as you walk in you know you're somewhere fancy - it just has that vibe (or maybe it was the valet service at the front that gave it away) There is a wonderful atmosphere inside - and on any given night the place is PACKED. I suggest you book early for a special occasion. The food is wonderful but it comes at a price - literally. This place really is expensive.... So start off can I recommend the Funghi di Campo Portobello Marinati in Varie Erbe Miste - Baked portobello field mushroom marinated and baked with mixed herbs ($28) - that's right you're paying $28 for mushrooms or Fiori di Zucchine Ripieni con Ricotta e Funghi Porcini Home grown Zucchini flowers with ricotta, basil and Porcini Mushroom filling ($32) - yes ladies and gentleman - thats your starters.... In fairness, the food is delicious - but it really really expensive... Now for mains go for - Barramundi Selvatico alla Griglia con Pate d'Olive - Wild Barramundi fillet grilled and served with olive pate and lemon ($41) - which is simply scrumptious but will leave you still a bit hungry - so make sure you can also afford sides ($9) It is a wonderful place to eat, but it really does cater for the upper class.... if you are saving for that once in a lifetime meal - I think Sydney does have better on offier....

Loved the authentic Italian food, creative cocktails and cosy atmosphere…read more The boys who run Fiore are also authentic Italian, and they serve up some traditional style dishes they had as children. The menu is varied, with different specials throughout the week. For example at the moment Thursday is mussel night and they offer a special of black mussels, bruschetta & a glass of wine for $30pp. We checked this out last week and the mussels were just beautiful. Definitely worth a trip to check it out, it's a great find for the inner city.

The coffee was so awful I couldn't even finish it... and I don't even consider myself THAT much of a coffee snob. Breakfast was okay, but ordinary and limited options. I wouldn't come back for just that again. It is a great location, and the staff seemed lovely. I'm under the impression they are probably more of a dinner venue rather than cafe? So terrible first impressions, but could possibly be talked into trying it once more one evening.

A few months ago it changed…read morehands and while the brand, menu, and prices have remained the same, I have to sadly say the quality of food and so much more importantly the LOVE in the food has gone. If you had asked me six months ago, I would have, and did say, that it was the best Japanese food I had ever eaten and represented exceptional quality at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, after two recent visits since changing hands, the Sashimi is clearly not as fresh, ingredients seem to be lower quality across the board, the owner doesn't know the menu, I had to point out what I was ordering and tonight I was served croquette that was ice cold in the centre and had to send it back as well). I *hope* these are just teething issues, but, after two identical visits, I can no longer recommend Asako and for the lower quality produce, the menu now seems expensive. Sad times, I wish the new owner the best, but, won't be going back again.

Thankfully this place isn't just looks - backed up by a creative menu and good coffee, E6 is a gem in the rough, shabby chic amongst actual shabby. I loved the internationally inspired menu with dishes like Huevos Rancheros, an 'Ode to Borough Markets' cheese toastie, coconut sticky rice porridge and my fave, fried eggs with tomato herb salad and dukkah on beetroot spread and flatbread - YUM!! The coffee's probably the best espresso style coffee in this neck of the woods, which isn't a hard feat but they don't let that be an excuse, treating the 5 Senses beans with respect and producing a great cup, whether the milk, black or iced. It's great to have just one more option on my short list of local cafe gems but if I were you, I wouldn't make a special trip here if I lived further afield - keeps the line shorter for me!

The cost for each brekkie/ brunch was around $12-17. There's also free self serve infused water available. The serving size for the Full English Brekkie was definitely sufficient and filling. The scrambled eggs were on point; the perfect balance between runny and fully scrambled. Just everything served on the rustic board was perfect. The pancakes were served generously, with a neat thick stack of 3. They were nice and light and fluffy. The mocha and latte were also amazingly good. The mocha was just the right amount of chocolate against the coffee, just how I like it! Highly recommended :)

This came with two eggs on ONE slice of toast. Had I ordered just the toast ($8 for two slices) and two extra eggs ($3 each) it would come to the same price with more toast. The coffee was very good though. I'm dropping stars because considering the price, one slice of toast and two eggs is outrageous. Repeating my sentiment though, go for the coffee!

This seems to attract smokers, and I think there's a hookah going on sometimes too. The interior restaurant may suffer from this, however. As a rather self-righteous ex-smoker, this would drive me mad on any potential repeat visits, but I think there's interior courtyard seating too out the back, so maybe that would be an escape. Then again, maybe it would just be more smoking section... The service is pleasant and friendly, the waitress was happy to offer us explanations of their traditional Lebanese dishes and made some introductory suggestions, which I never mind at a new restaurant or new cuisine. I have had food like this before under other labels but the Lebanese spin seems to be unique added spices and ingredients, like pomegranate seeds in the side salad, and a distinctive pita-like bread with thinner texture but equally delicious and perfect for dipping. The kebabs were tender and the side dips were garlicky and yummy. All in all a cute new place which I recommend trying, especially since there's not many restaurants with similar Middle-eastern cuisine in the immediate vicinity.
