Folonomo

Magnificent food, great service and great atmosphere. We will come back here again and definitely recommend to others. Best dinner I've had in a while

Gorgeous venue, gorgeous food, amazing cocktails and beautiful art. We will be back. We LOVED IT. We went for the 7 course sharing menu as there was 4 of us, honestly felt so at home, conversation was flowing as this delicious food kept coming out, the portions were bigger than I expected as well!!

Great little restaurant with delicious food. I'd probably describe it as Modern Australian with a middle eastern twist. Lovely ambience with friendly service (though the server forgot our side dish!). Great experience and will go again.

Delicious comfort food with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern touches, friendly professional service and a 'profit-for-cause' concept. The ambience is rustic and sophisticated with ambient lighting. Highly recommended.

Food was great and well presented. Service was prompt and good but a little pretentious. All dishes were perfect except the steak. All the medium rare steaks ordered came out well-done and the one well-done came out medium...

Spectacular flavours. Low lighting in back area makes it difficult to read the menu. Please steak knives with steak. Difficult cutting with knives provided particularly end pieces of rump. Look forward to next visit.

Was great 6 months ago but this time the food was really average. Don't have the apple pudding. The sponge was really really dry and the chocolate option just dry biscuit . Very disappointing .

The restaurant is really nice and the idea behind it is great. Get there early because we got there at 8:30pm and unfortunately they run out of the only meat dish on the menu. Great atmospheres and service.

Great vibe, great food and good cocktails. Staff were friendly and attentive and serving portions generous. Menus change as they rotate chefs but the fish we had was excellent

Beautiful food and flavours, presented well and friendly, helpful staff. I have a lot of intolerances and the staff managed to cater for everything !!

Such a beautiful restaurant with high quality food at good prices. I can't believe that it is also a non-profit! I will defiantly be back. The dishes were something special.

What a surprise. Didn't know what to expect. The food was very eclectic with a south Asian feel. Everything really went well together. We will return for more.

A really nice seasonal menu to share. We very much enjoyed the food & the ambience and the staff were friendly and attentive. Folomono is making the not for profit model work so well without compromising on quality - win-win all round. Thanks!

The food was fresh with strong flavours, had to send the beef back to the kitchen, looked like it hadn't touched the grill. However the staff where rude, pushy and slow, it took over 20 minutes to get the bill delivered to the table and when we got sick of waiting the waiter told us to remain seated all transactions are taken at the table and ask outright what we would pay for service.

Awesome healthy food and atmosphere. Excellent Service. Would be definitely going there again with friends or relatives. Go to place after a cricket or rugby game.

Great experience will go back again ....good service, friendly staff and good food ! Would recommend to a friend to go! Great atmosphere loved it

Everything was delicious and zinging with freshness. Loved it and happy to be part of a community supporting the work and vision of these guys.

amazing food and service on a cold and busy night. waitress was really helpful and lovely, food was delicious (a little small - was said that it was for sharing, which you could with maybe two, but if you're a big eater probably order an extra main), and ambiance was great.

Had a booking at 6:30 and to be out by 8:30, however we never felt pressured to leave and it was a Friday night! Left at 10:30 pm after a fabulous meal and sensational service, great vibe.

Was average food, table too small for 4 people. Service was good, nice decor inside and good luck to location. Overall was just average for us.

Between 4 of us we shared 8 dishes out of possible 12(?). 2 were spectac - prawn threads & kingfish. The menu had changed that day - and the chef. They need to extend their wine list & stock. Need more sparkling wine options. Great service

Warm environment, the fore was burning in the corner. Easy share plates, especially the entrees. The tapioca dumplings are good. We shared our mains as well. Nice wine list too.

This is a not-for-profit restaurant with 100% profits given to charity - which has amazing food & service. Book now you'll be pleased you did!

Food excellent, as is bare brick, funky interior, not too noisy. Sunflower risotto a stand-out. Profits go to,charity so even better. But sadly no longer BYO.

Healthy fresh and delicious food. Great cause, staff were fine. The dessert we had was incredible: baked pear and lemon curd with some kind of cake. Wine list a touch on the expensive side

We loved wandering through the art gallery upstairs before we were seated. The food was amazing. The wine delish. Looking forward to going back again.

Great food, wonderful service. We were warned to leave room for desert and the advice was excellent. I'm just looking forward to my next visit.

Folonoma has a lovely atmosphere, great service and delicious food! They also do a byo on Tuesday.. This is worth a visit and is for a worthy cause!

What a great place to dine! This was my second visit and again I was not disappointed! Do yourself a favour and get along to enjoy a wonderful experience of yummy food and great service!

Incredible food : attentive and knowledgeable staff and a good wine list . Great that they are giving profits to charity as well. All in all a great evening

Fantastic food and incredible enterprise, we'll definitely be back with friends. Service understated and music was great unlike recent experiences. Steak was great, crab was fresh 6 stars!

Fantastic dining experience. We will definitely be returning. As a non-seafood eater I was very impressed when the waiter suggested they could replace the King Fish with eggplant. Yum yum yum!

Food was very tasty, definitely recommend the rump steak. Ambience has a hipster feel to it. Worth trying. Best to go with a group of four or more so that you can try more of the menu, which is designed to share.

We had a really lovely experience at Folonomo. Great food, great service, great ambience and all for a good cause. Thank you! We will be back!

The food and service were fantastic. Beautiful surroundings and ambience. And such a wonderful ethos, using profits to fund charitable initiatives. I'll definitely be back!

Very nice food, (risotto our favourite) good service, nice decor. It was a cold evening outside so the courtyard was not the most comfortable. Perhaps cushions on chairs ?

Great atmosphere, incredibly delicious food, elegantly presented and so healthy. Great wine selection. Fabulous wait service. Slightly loud, but they turned the music down a bit for us, which was so kind. Would definitely come again!

The food and service was excellent! The ambience was lovely. I'm coeliac and it was no problem to cater to my dietary needs. I'll be back for sure!

Having been to Folonomo before I had great expectations, but the second time around the service was disorganised (3 different waiters asked us for our drinks order and we had to remind them that we'd actually ordered for our drinks to arrive) and the food was super slow to arrive. Our reservation was at 7.30pm and we didn't leave til 10.30pm! The food was great but based on the experience this time around, I wouldn't go again.

Unfortunately our experience could've only gone downhill quicker if we had walked head first into the glass front door. After being seated we learned that Folonomo had become licensed on Tuesday. As our booking was made a month ago, an email, text or phone call could've prevented any issues. Instead, we arrived with a bottle of wine that I'd been saving for five months after receiving it as a 40th birthday present and told we couldn't drink it and would be stuck with it for the rest of our night out. With our high expectations for the night dashed at the first hurdle (the only compromise offered was to surrender the bottle to the restaurant and retrieve it at a later date, which was too inconvenient - we'd already invested a large amount in a babysitter and cabs just to be able to go out for dinner), we both ordered the risotto on the waitress's recommendation, paid the bill and left. After taking our order the waitress avoided our table, and unfortunately our bill was probably the smallest the restaurant has ever taken. If ever there was a restaurant worth spending more at it was Folonomo due to its social conscience. We thought the BYO issue was handled extremely poorly, particularly as on this rare occasion I was emotionally attached to the bottle of wine and couldn't just get rid of it before we headed out afterward. Expensive restaurants are supposed to make you feel special for a couple of hours, and we felt like criminals as the restaurant couldn't be bothered to let patrons know of the rule changes. I'm sure other reviews will give a more predictable account of what to expect dining at Folonomo.
