Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had high hopes for the L'Heritage because of its romantic location and the menu appealed to us but unfortunately the service experienced was truly lacking compared to what one would expect from a restaurant of this calibre and cost. We arrived for our 19.30...reservation (which was the latest time we could reserve) and from the moment we sat, we felt rushed and not appreciated. We were finished and bill paid by 20.45 which for a restaurant like this - too fast. The staff were pleasant but there was something about the service that just lacked. The food all tasted good, was it amazingly authentic French food that would draw me back, maybe, but when combined with the service experience, unlikely. What went wrong? - There was no bread offered, very few restaurants don't supply bread when you dine. I accept this may be one of those restaurants. - One of the menus had a different specials card, I accept that happens and we brushed that aside. - We asked for a bottle of sparking and still water. We have no problem with restaurants using filtered tap water systems which create their own supply in glass bottles they bring to the table. For this restaurant it is Purezza, I accept their is a cost involved but I think it is rude if you charge per bottle and arrogant when you take away both bottles when they aren't empty to replace with new ones and then charge for the new bottles as well, not a one time charge. Could I have raised it when I paid the bill - most certainly - but I shouldn't have to. You have already lost my custom at this point. - We ordered the Ceviche for a starter. Within a few minutes it was at our table. I accept that food is often prepared but to arrive at the table no more than a couple minutes after ordering gives one the feeling of being rushed. - Within a few minutes of us finishing our Ceviche, there was no question posed whether we were ready for the mains, they just started arriving. For the most part, the food was good. The french fries with the steak tartare were slightly overcooked and more rouille would most definitely added more flavour to the bouillabaisse. - While I accept that some restaurants pour their glassed wine at the bar, in such a cosy and romantic restaurant the experience would be so much more if the 2 glasses were brought to the table with the bottle, the bottle shown, then poured - not walked in and plonked down on the table with one of the customers being served their glass by leaning across the table in front of the others who are eating, instead of walking around. Truly disappointing service experience.More

L’Heritage is a good French restaurant in a stunning location. This was our second visit - six adults and two small children for a family celebratory dinner. Although this is by no means a family restaurant, it’s helpful they provide a simple children’s menu. All...of us had a main course and dessert. Our mains included beef, fish, pasta, bouillabaisse and duck. Then a variety of classic French desserts. Everything was good. Prices are consistent with other quality dining in Sydney. Staff were pleasant and responsive. Some comments from other reviewers here are difficult to understand or misleading; one example, midweek parking was $7 for two and a half hours, not $20 flat rate.More

Visited recently as a friend had gifted me a voucher for dinner. I have visited ripples at chowder bay many times and never noticed this restaurant so was very excited to try somewhere new in this beautiful location. The restaurant itself is oozing with charm...and feels very luxurious. We started with oysters and pate with some champagne which was all very nice. For mains I had the sous-vide chicken which was also lovely. My husband ordered the fillet steak special which sadly was quite disappointing. The steak itself was cooked beautifully however the dish was really let down by the sides. The salad was simply mixed lettuce leaves tossed in a vinaigrette dressing and about 2/3 of the plate was what looked and tasted like frozen oven chips. At $65 it was really a let down. More what I would expect from an RSL rather than a fine dining restaurant. Such a shame as it would have been so easy to make the dish a real wow with a little more effort.More

From previous reviews of this restaurant, I was already dubious but my friend had booked it to celebrate a very special birthday so we went with an open mind. I rang to enquire about parking and also to advise of the birthday celebration. They were...not at all helpful about the parking advising simply that it’s metered street parking. Ladies, take some flats, as I did, so you can comfortably walk the distance from where you might have to park to the restaurant. Parking was a flat fee of $20. We were early and were offered a seat at the bar whilst we waited for our friends. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and the barman was friendly. Re the food, the stand out was the beef tartare. Unfortunately the snails and the bouillabaisse were under seasoned and the duck confit was very dry. When asked how the meals were, we mentioned that the duck was a bit dry and were told that’s how confit is meant to be. We have had confit many times before and it’s usually much more tender. The duck and the barramundi were also very small meals. Service was generally slow. Given that the restaurant was not booked out, we were surprised at how slow the drink service was, having to ask on multiple occasions where our drinks were, and having to top up our own drinks. Overall, the restaurant was disappointing and not good value. We won’t be returning.More

Location was great and the decor pleasant but that is where it starts and finishes. Apart from the escargot and bouillabaisse it was difficult to find a true French dish although many had French names. The Bavette a l’échalotte was tough and tasteless and at...$52 was way overpriced. The baguette at $6 had been cut earlier and had dried out. Bad practice! The Jasper Hill Shiraz shown on the website is listed at $98 [still}. However, we were told this was a mistake and its real price was $210. Really! It would have to be the worst "French" meal I can remember. We should have gone to Ripples as originally planned. There will be no return visitMore

Really nice atmosphere, a great location, and experienced and professional staff but the portions were very disappointing. I had the bouillabaisse for my main course and it looked like a starter portion when it arrived. There was 1 small piece of each type of seafood...mentioned on the menu so pretty much 8 mouthfuls. I was also expecting a nice chunk of bread but instead got 4 small crackers. My wife had the Barramundi, which was also a small portion. I walked out feeling ripped offMore

L’Heritage is a taste of France in Mosman and a celebration of l’escargots! The wine list is superb and varied. And the proprietors are genuinely interested in their clientele. Faultless and will go again soon!

I was keen to try this restaurant having had Julien owner and French chef cater for my birthday last year during Covid He told me then he was opening a restaurant on this site so I was keen to try out over lunch The decor...is very French. Service excellent with staff very knowledgeable about the menu both food and wine You cannot go past the pate. So delicious For main course we had a seafood linguine to die for with lots of delicious fish This restaurant is really worth a visit Not only are the views to die over Chowder Bay but the ambiance and service will make me return many times moreMore
