Restaurants near Federation Square

Fantastic, friendly staff. Lots of menu choices and particularly impressed by the number of gluten free options. Food was so delicious ( I'm pretty sure my husband will be telling everyone he meets about his red curry 😂). Thank you Waterfront for a lovely experience.

Amazing food, beer & ambience . We went on Christmas Day & there was an excellent crowd management & service

You simply cannot go wrong stepping through the door…whether it’s the trattoria or bistro, your experience is nothing short of wonderful food care of the staff who make the whole thing look so effortless. Love it love it love it.

If you want a review of the steaks at Meat Maiden, scroll on. I didn’t order steak…which is perhaps akin to going to Red Rooster and not ordering chicken. I went for the miso cauliflower, perhaps not the first choice of most diners. But I made our reservation because I knew my mega-carnivorous husband would love it. And he did. So yes, the food was excellent. Go for the food. But waaaaaaaay better than the food were the staff. Unlike the current trend for waitstaff to make it obvious they’d rather be anywhere than taking your food order, MM staff all genuinely looked like they wanted to be there. They were joyful, engaging and had each other’s backs. They worked together like a well oiled machine and it was fun and heart warming to watch. I’d go back for the chips. For the crème caramel, for the cauliflower and the donut. My husband would go back for the burnt ends and the pork belly and scallops. But most of all, we’d go back for Nathan and the rest of the staff.

My first dining experience here although my friend has raved about this place for ages. So I booked based on her recommendation. Fabulous place - food was excellent and wait staff were amazing and helped to elevate what was already a great experience. Hugo and Sean provided expert knowledge of food (and sake) and made sure that we were well looked after. Will definitely visit again - awesome experience !
