Aubergine

Went for a group event for $30 set Lunch menu. Restaurant was very busy on Thursday noon. Food and service was good , atmosphere was superb. I ordered Baba Gounush for starter , chicken schnitzel for main and Sticky date pudding , Tiramisu for dessert. Portion size was very good , it was a good value for money. I highly recommend this for group or even small gathering. You won't be disappointed.

Food: we had the lunch special: For starters, we had 1) baba ghanoush: good portion and taste. 2) Pumpkin soup: very small portion of watery soup that tasted nothing like pumpkin soup. For mains, we had chicken schnitzel, good taste and portion. Service: We felt that the restaurant was understaffed for the busy weekend, hence the service wasn't the best. Servers seemed to be avoiding eye contact with customers, so it took some time to make an order and it took around an hour for our mains to be served. One of the female staff, had a grumpy/stressed? face which, although was not directed at us in particular, still made us feel uncomfortable - we expect servers to meet and serve us with a smile rather than a poker face. The two younger female servers who were on shift yesterday (9.12.23), were both lovely though. We will still be back as generally, Aubergine is a good restaurant that provides good food and nice atmosphere.

My recent outing at Aubergine was an absolute delight. This place has a fancy vibe with everything looking spick and span. But what truly stole my heart was their Sticky Date Pudding! For anyone who wants to enjoy a bit of fancy dining with a side of fantastic desserts! Can accommodate to Halal food requests too which was lovely.

First time I've ever been here. The food was amazing. First time that I've ordered a side salad and it was a decent salad with a variety of goodies in it. It was divine, and so was the squid. Unfortunately, our meals took quite a while to come out, and then staff never returned to ask if we wanted any more drinks. We had to get someone's attention.

It was better than I've anticipated. The waitress immediately asked me if I wanted water, I said yes. Water was tap like I requested. After I ordered a lemon lime bitters and scotch fillet, I didn't have to wait too long. The way the staff did service was great. They were generally very attentive, and were the same towards other customers. I can see why this place gets busy. Scotch fillet tasted good. Broccoli was well cooked, though I was hoping for a little more broccoli. Roast potatoes were also well cooked. They also had some spice which was mild. I assume it was added to live up to its Mediterranean cuisine. Though it was still good. The sauce was generally good. Most significantly, the steak itself was decently well cooked. Environment wise, it have enough seats for people to sit in. Even the outdoors have enough tables for people to sit. I like how outside was not too bright. There was enough shade. Music was not played too loudly, which did not disrupt the experience. Also, despite the limited amount of toilets, I've been in one and it was clean. Overall, atmosphere was good, food was great, and the way the staff did customer service stood out to me the most. Let's see if future experiences, continue to be similar.
