An authentic Japanese owned hidden restaurant & lounge bar over 80 choices of Japanese whiskies.Spend the evening in a relaxed atmosphere just like those cozy, underground Dining bars in Japan !Not only are there whiskies to enjoy but also champagne, wine, Sake, and Shochu.To accompany the vast selection of drinks are the delicious bar snacks created by my brother, Raita Noda who is  a celebrated chef and previously owner chef at Rise (Darlinghurst) & Ocean Room (Circular Quay). Currently he’s the owner & head chef at Raita Noda Chef's Kitchen (Surry Hills).We're constantly thinking about the best combinations of spirits and snacks and how to bring out the best in both.
We are at our happiest when we can help you experience unique flavours which you can't find with food alone !!

    Solo diner from Hobart .stumbled on this place in May and as soon as I decided when I was coming back to Sydney for a visit, this was the first place I booked! Catered to half serves also! -Focaccia w truffle butter/EVOO -Yellow fin tuna & peach -And probably the most insane carbonara ever Tried so hard to finish my tiramisu but was defeated. Wines were well priced and delish! Had very attentive waiter in hat providing nice chats and wonderful waitress who gave me great brunch recommendations! Book the bar! It’s a vibe! See you soon!

    We arrived to friendly staff and seated quite quickly or ordered was taken and we were eating with in minutes of sitting down. It was happy hour so ordered drinks from the bar which made them quite reasonable, it was Wednesday so the restaurant was a lot quieter than we had experienced in the past . Food just kept coming and it was all lovely. Had my fill thought it was Christmas again. Very happy good job all round Braza . The tipping on pay screen was very new to me getting more like America

    From the moment we entered "Neptune's Grotto" I knew we were in for a splendid evening. And we weren't disappointed. I am a big fan of a short Menu where you want to try everything on offer. And this is exactly what was displayed. The food was superb and the extensive Wine List was deletable. Heavily leaning on Italian Wines -and rightly so - there was something for every price range. The food was superb, the décor romantic and the whole experience made me sad we had to leave. But we will be returning.

    Looking for somewhere to have dinner on a Sunday night in the city and found Roast Republic. The host directed us to the Texan BBQ Board with a side of beef short ribs for the 4 of us. It did not disappoint - A variety of meats that all tasted so differently and so delicious. Too full for desserts and we didn't touch the chips that were o nthe boards either.
