Chiswick Woollahra

Excellent service (thanks to Fleur) and fabulous food, with relaxed ambience and friendly time constraints. Attentive to birthday girl and special requests. My only complaint was that summer pudding, just not up to scratch (grainy, oversweet). Needs a rethink. Otherwise a great group experience.

our booking was for 8.15 pm on a (wet) Friday evening. The restaurant was very full, with consequent high noise level (this being typical of modern restaurants). There was no delay in taking us to a table or in the service of food and alcohol. The menu was varied, and my partner and I selected from the entrees. When it came to the main course we both chose from what appeared to be smaller/lighter dishes. Chiswick gets a BIG plus for offering some medium sized main courses as well as full size ones. Partner chose the tuna, I chose the prawns, with green leaf side and a bowl of chips. All excellent. The dessert list also was suitable to anyone who watches sugar intake - many restaurants ignore this and overload dessert with sweetness. Our table was in the middle of the room, and as diners thinned out, our waitress VERY thoughtfully offered to move us to a quieter corner. This was greatly appreciated, and the tip reflected our thanks. Possibly more of an 'occasion' restaurant than a casual meal one, Chiswick nevertheless is highly recommended for any time.

Me and my partner went to Chiswick for the 1st time over the weekend, and felt that the place and the was were good but it was too pricey. The restaurant and the gardens are beautiful, the staff were friendly and really appreciated the fact that they use their own veggies from their garden. The food was also good (we had the barramasalata and kingfish crudo as starters and the duck and cod as mains) but I just thought it was overpriced. I have been to many restaurants in Sydney and feel like I have eaten similar quality dishes at a lower price elsewhere.
