    The ambience of Rubicon is probably one of the best I've ever come across. There are 3 separate areas with noise absorption panels which are incredibly effective! I was disappointed with the very expensive food although my partner did enjoy his seafood main course. In essence it wasn't value for money.

    Hidden gem in the Griffith Shops. Plenty of close parking. Comprehensive menu covering all the proteins accompanied with an extensive drinks menu.

    Ambience was quite nice and service was very good. Oysters were fresh and delicious as was the sashimi. Sadly the octopus was a bit tough and chewy and the duck breast quite bland. Overall pretty good though for the price I have had better fine dining at other restaurants.

    Absolutely delicious at every course! Honestly, the Japanese dressing on the oysters was a taste sensation! We ordered three starters, one main and a side of greens and I was so glad we were able to try so many dishes because all of them were fantastic to eat and beautifully presented. The range of wines available was well suited to the menu. The waiter was lovely and made us feel very welcome, even after all the other guests had left.

    We had a lovely evening at Rubicon. The wait staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable and recommended some lovely wines. The food was excellent. My dining companion and I particularly enjoyed the entrees - zucchini flowers with fetta and the grilled octopus. Outstanding. Very nice atmosphere too. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

    This is the second time we have had a large family occasion at the Rubicon and once more we were treated to excellent food and service. We chose the banquet shared plate option and it was perfect for our group. Members with dietary needs were well catered for. The wine cellar is extensive and varied. Our waiter looked after us so well, attentively and with good humour. Our large group - 15 - was discreetly and conveniently placed. We will be back.

    We had very special guests from overseas whom we had not seen for 43 years. My daughter recommended Rubicon and it was absolutely fantastic, caring staff, good service, wonderful atmosphere and excellent food. The staff were helpful. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

    We returned on an interstate visit. Rubicon was as special as we remember it with affection in past years. Service, food and ambience excellent. And all for a reasonable price, including wine list.
