Central Park Cellars

I came with two girlfriends at 2 p.m. on a Friday afternoon. I was a bit nervous about how it would go because we all had babies. However, we had such a wonderful experience. The staff were so accommodating and were more than happy to have us there! In addition to the lovely staff, the wine and cheese platter were divine.

A food article on the Age brought us here to taste the flawless tiramisu. It was indeed the best tiramisu my wife and I have ever tasted. We also enjoyed the anchovies fillets, charred octopus and dry aged rib eye. Love the ambience too. Staff was friendly and helpful as we have a toddler and baby with us. Overall an enjoyable dinner. We will return again.

We had an enjoyable evening here. Service by Mick and team was great. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all good. It was a pity they had run out of steak over the long weekend. The burrata was my fave. The octopus was also excellent. Will return and would recommend.

I don't know what happened here but it wasn't good. I came with my gf and order steak + tacos with the clear directive we only had 45 minutes. I know that's tight but they seemed confident with it. Anyway, since this is a one star review you already know they didn't meet the time requirement, which caused me to be late to my next appointment. The tacos were good, but pricy. The steak meanwhile I did not enjoy. I thought it was strange that the waiter didn't ask for my preferred doneness, so I brought this up to the waitress who said "oh it's usually medium rare, that ok?". Non-standard but that's fine with me. Anyway, I'm not a steak expert, but so you decide from the pictures, but I would say it's closer to medium well than medium rare - whatever the case, I didn't enjoy it, and the side salads I ordered were pretty whatever too. Finally, when I went to pay the bill, I brought up the issue with the timing and my opinion on the doneness. The waitress just said "ok". That's fine that they don't care, but I ain't coming back here and nor should you.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Central Park Cellars. The food was genuinely delicious and perfectly prepared, showcasing the talents of the amazing chef. Complimenting the superb meal was the service from the amazing staff, who were attentive, friendly, and made our visit feel special from the moment we arrived until we left. We highly recommend this spot!

Service: Perfect service. Friendly welcoming staff who take the initiative to make sure you are having the best experience. Very attentive. Atmosphere: Calm and spacious settings. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Tables can be arranged for larger groups. The live music added a chief vibe. Loved it! Food & drinks: We had the charcuterie board and dips (pictured). It was lovely. Especially the capsicum dip! My friend had an espresso Martini and she verbally commented every time she took a sip. One particular quote was, "best espresso Martini I've ever had!". And she's had a few!

Food nice, great wine list. Terrible terrible service. Twice, so not a one off.
