   The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious We had the crispy eggplant to start…. It’s absolutely delicious and disappeared instantly For main we had the Miso roasted cauliflower. Lemongrass sate, crispy soybeans,sesame. Absolute heaven. We sort of licked the dish and sauce was so delicious The staff are very friendly and helpful Fantastic place for a pre show meal or a catch up with friends Highly recommended.

   A Captive Audience: We made a booking at Miss Pearl for 9:15 after a performance at the Recital Centre. I was not informed when making the booking that the full menu is not available at that time. So it was 'snacks' and 'small plates' only. We ordered a few small plates and kept a menu in case we needed more. Once our 'small plates' we fully understood the meaning of 'small'! $26 for the smallest portion of Salt & Chilli Squid I have ever seen in a restaurant. The other portion sizes were not much better. My 'post mix' diet cola was weak. $12.50 (I think) for a small bottle of local mineral water. Then... within minutes we were told the kitchen was closing... actually the whole restaurant was closing. No sooner had we placed an order for some extra 'small plates', our bill landed on the table. ~$160 for snacks, 1 glass of wine and two diet colas. Oh... and it was c-o-l-d! I guess it was the first cool evening of autumn but...

   Good food and service but the air conditioning was far too cold

   It has always been a great place for a pre-theatre dinner for us. We look forward to it and always enjoy the warm welcome and good food.

   Great place to have dinner before a show. They have a special pre show dinner available . You don't have to have that; you can eat whatever you like. Sashimi was delicious. Duck bun was good but nothing special. Fries were great and lots of them. My wine glass appeared to be under filled but overall a great place to eat.

   We have pre theatre meals there often! Not up to usual standard! Menu change?

   Hi Judy, We are sorry to hear that your most recent visit didn't meet your expectations. We introduced a new menu earlier this year with new, fresh dishes. We hope that you will give us another chance.

    We enjoyed a delicious, great value pre-theatre banquet delivered in a comfortable hour's sitting. All the dishes were tasty and well balanced. Great mocktails and super attentive service too!
