We sort of fell into this restaurant searching for a different one that was full on a Saturday night. We arrived just as another table was leaving, so got in right away. (RESERVE on a weekend, in any case--it's small and full.) We both had excellent starters and mains. The wine was good, too, but I chose an Australian one... More

full review and pics at: http://wp.me/P1Ilcf-a0 Bentley was a surprise for me. I’m sure for the many people who have known about this restaurant for the last 6 years that will seem a stupid thing to say, but although I had heard whisperings about this place, seen a few Facebook check-ins and photo uploads, it never really made it onto...

Located along Crown Street this restaurant serves excellent food, in normal portions for a normal price or...in taster portions with a wine pairing. Ask for their exhaustive wine list for wine pairings. More

Unexpected from the outside, this bar-style restaurant serves gourmet food. The degustation menu is a great, the only downside to it is that the place is mostly packed and the small ktichen and the service are at their max, so it takes quite some waiting time in between. Great, extensive wine list with a great selection of European wines and... More

If you want to eat at a top restaurant, but want to keep the costs down, I would strongly recommend the 5 course set lunch menu at Bentley. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely top notch. The lunch menu offers almost the same as what you would get at dinner, but at significantly less. Highly recommended! More

I had lunch here a couple of weeks ago and it was fantastic. I'd had drinks here a couple of times previusly and tried the bar menu which is great, but lunch was even better. It was a business lunch and after looking at the menu, we opted for the $55 (I think) set menu - 5 courses - it... More

We were very excited to be going back here, having first been shortly after it opened, and having been wowed by the innovative desserts in particular.  We had the pork belly and the potato and leek for entree. The vegetables in both dishes were quite tasty and the pork was tender, but I was struck by how small the portions... More

I had heard that this was a great restaurant but had one of the worst experiences ever! Terrible service from the sommellier who didn't give a ####. The food was either undercooked or too well done and didn't taste that good either. A total waste of money. More
