Bar Brosé - Darlinghurst

Good drinks menu and bar space with great service but I would not recommend going for the tasting menu. The starters and mains here were very disappointing. Small portions (6 mussels for a group of 4 people), too much bread (one course was a cheese toastie) overall there was not one dish out of 7 that we would order again.

Heard mixed reviews of the place so we tried it with a group of friends. A large table of 10 was booked but unfortunately not all could make it. Still had to pay for all 10 so a warning to charge your friends who cancel on you! The dinner was a hit and miss. The lamb and beef were fantastic as were some of the other dishes. Some were a bit too much of a fusion (gnocchi with Chinese sausages?). The 7 or 8 course dinner (lost count) was only $60 though! So fantastic value. Obviously spent more on drinks but that's normal.isnt it?

Loved this place. Walked into the smell of freshly baked cheesy bread... They know the way to a girls heart! The rest of the evening was delightful. Cocktails perfect, wine list carefully selected, menu carefully constructed with a delicious variety of dishes to try. We ordered a few too many entrees to try the mains or desserts, but that is the beauty of a tapas style menu. Great for a casual evening with good food, wine and friends.

I was really looking forward to my dining experience, Bar Brose was recommended to me by a colleague. I booked well in advance for an early Friday dinner (6.30pm) on the 24th of March, however was seated in the front bar area. we opted for the feast, however had no idea what we were getting which I was ok with as it added to uniqueness, but it all went downhill from there. food was presented terribly and not explained to us. everything was tasty but it was spoit by the plating. the raw fish was rough off-cuts, not attractive garnish, the late night sandwich was just a flat full sandwich, not cut up, just slapped flat on the plate. the beef looked like vomit but again once I flipped it over to the cooked side and fixed it up a little, I was able to get my friend to even contemplate to try it. the staff were friendly, but it was almost like the restaurant prided itself on the 'I don't care' attitude in presentation and explaining the menu that when dessert was served I was told that it was the last item. so I don't know if we were meant to have 4, 5 , 6 or 8 items to share. I really felt I was served whatever they wanted on the night I got the leftovers. really sad about this as it was recommended to me and I chose a visit from a dear old friend special get together as an excuse to try Bar Brose. perhaps the usual chef was off that night?
