Staff at the Freyja were all awesome! Special thanks to Nary who was so patient and helpful with our pre-order. I had a great birthday lunch here! We love the “Avocado” the best!

Excellent service delivering an innovative degustation menu. I loved the wine pairing. We sat at the bar facing the action in the open kitchen. It was a highlight watching the finely tuned chef team in action. A great experience. Highly recommended.

This place gone downhill significantly since it was opened. Food is bland, overpriced. We have 2 steaks ordered - both were wrongly cooked. Medium was rare (uncooked), and rare was burnt. Lamb rack had hardly any meet, just fat on it. 44$ for a waffle with roe+butter? Bland menu that has not changed for years. Cocktails served in tiny glasses and also bland and uninteresting. Attention to details is poor - one guy was served stout instead of normal beer, took ages to replace it. Wine on the list was not available, took ages to fetch the other one. They push overpriced French wines (like everywhere in CBD). Wine bottle was always taken away somewhere, which was really annoying. Don't bother with this place.

Really unusual food. Cabbage entree in particular was delicious. The veggie main course was unusual but for our palate not in a good way. Four star only because of this as the rest of the dishes were sublime.

We came to celebrate our 19 year anniversary. Aside from them saying “Happy Anniversary” at the entrance and when we got seated, we did not feel like they made our evening any more special than any other regular booking. If you are not going to do or offer anything for a special occasion, then why even ask?! We had the set menu with the optional wine pairing of $85p/p., it started good, then went ok and then it finished strong with a nice dessert. Overall I don’t think I would say it was good value for money; we probably would’ve chosen something else and avoided the set menu, The service was ok, nothing out of the normal you expect from any restaurant. Maybe we are a bit old fashion but we probably wouldn’t form come back given we spent $500 plus $7 for cc surcharge.
