How sad that the commentary below does such a disservice to Kitschen and how quickly the world changes. We had dinner Saturday last and the food and service were simply first class. There has been a distinct regime change at the restaurant and Kitschen is somewhat more than "charmingly incomplete". The food has improved beyond expectation and the preponderance of Italian has given way to elegant simplicity in its "modern Australian" menu. Great food, good wine and good company - we had a great night. Thank you!   (MoTzu - December, 2008)

I went for a birthday party with a group of 12 guests. Service was inexperienced and slow. The waiter repetitively asked whether we wanted to order pre-dinner drinks even after we declined. When clearing dishes away, the waiter held his palm out and expected us to place the dishes in his hand instead of picking it up from the table. The piece de resistance came when our ice cream cake was bought out and served- entirely melted. Notwithstanding this fiasco, we were charged cakege fees each. Will not be returning there again.   (Linda - September, 2008)

My meal was delicous. My husband ordered a scotch fillet steak, which was like rubber, very thin and over cooked and not medium rare as requested. He did not even attempt to eat his steak as it didn't look very nice at all. The waitress didn't even seem to care about how disapointed he was, she just said se would let the chef know. He was extremely disapointed. We also had to wait over 1 hour and 15mins to recieve our main meal and there was only 6 other couples in the restuarant.   (May, 2008)

their blackboard menu is ever changing and modern, and all of the menu is most certainly very tasty and delicious, and the service is first rate, and the owner and her staff are always friendly and courteous and most helpful with advice about wine selection or explanations of their menus   (November, 2007)
