I found Bluestone on an online search engine and rang for a booking at 3:30pm for the same day. The lady on the phone was lovely and (as I was only asking for a table for one) juggled a few things and got me in. I chose to have the degustation menu with wine matching. First thing - you get... More

If you want to have just drinks, you can - or if you want to get together with a friend (or group of friends) for dinner, you can do that too. This place is great - live music on Thursday night and really good food. Great wine list and good service. I'm back here, definitely. More

We dined at Bluestone for a family member's 40th birthday and had a table of eight. The service was attentinve and the meals were fantastic, with an extensive international wine list. It has an upmarket atmosphere and is perfect for a group booking or an intimate dinner for two. We also had a gluten free requirement and this was no... More

We often frequent the restaurant for its great service and amazing food! The ambience is also quite romantic, although can get noisy at times - they are very busy, even on mid-week. Their dessert selection could be improved though... we often feel led down on our last course, after such amazing entree (scallop... yum) and main! More

In an era where restaurants seem to be judged on whether the chef has appeared on a reality restaurant show (and there are plenty to accommodate so many restaurant chefs!!!) it is refreshing to see that the winning formula that the people at Bluestone Restaurant and Bar has followed for mostly a decade has only varied to meet the wishes...

We were a large group of 15 who ate upstairs in the restaurant after pre-dinner drinks in the bar downstairs. This was at their suggestion, and they arranged a reserved section for us which was nice. Service couldn't be faulted all night. Food was very good, I only heard compliments, especially about the scallops special. Atmosphere was nice, as is... More
