Rogue Cafe - Surry Hills

Good portion and tasty food. The lasagna was really big. Pasta was good too! The lamb one was tender and cooked to perfection. Dessert share plate is a must try!

I'm not sure how this place has gotten such high reviews. I booked it as we decided to do Valentine's tonight. Loving Italian food, I was super excited, having read the reviews but it ended up being massively disappointing. The service was all over the place. We waited about 20 minutes for our drinks orders to be taken. Our waiter was lovely however but I just think they had too few staff on duty. The memu in a word is.....boring. Plain and uninspired. We got the bruscetta and arancini balls for starters which were nice. For my main, I ordered the gnocchi with mushroom and pesto. The gnocchi were doughy and bland, far too many peas and a generally underwhelming dish. My boyfriend got the salmon which was literally just popped on the pan and fried up. Zero seasoning. Served with an olive and anchovy tapenade which was simply awful. We didn't opt for dessert because at this stage, we'd just had enough. Very overpriced for what you get. We paid $160 in total and left the restaurant feeling dissatisfied. Won't be back.

Liked the place and food was ok overall but found it a bit pricey for what I've got. Service was slow. Location is good, in the heart of Surry Hills.

My partner and I really enjoy coming here for dinner. It's a nice small place with very friendly and attentive staff. The menu is quite small, but hey it's a small restaurant and I guess it helps the chefs pump the food out at a good pace. Also I like that I don't have to hold a large menu and read so many options. As for the food, I've never had a problem from entrees to dessert. It has always come out perfect every time! The only bad thing I can think of is finding parking! We parked somewhere in Redfern and got an Uber to make our booking on a weekend.
