Good night for my daughters 25th birthday meal, plenty of selection from menu. Staff very helpful and prompt with orders, this would enable more turnover of tables.

Rubicon has a great atmosphere and service is excellent with very attentive waiters/tresses. The meals are generous and quite tasty though 1-2 in our group's meal was not as hot despite coming out quite quickly. I would like to see a better dessert range as most are all chocolate and sweet, something fresher would be nice. This is my 3rd visiting and would go back again to try other dishes on the menu.

Over priced pub meal. Scotch Fillet was nice the potatoes so salty they were inedible. Lemon Lime Bitters was totally wrong. Not sure what happened with their post mixer. We were seated at the top of the stairs so had to have our dinner in our coats .... although they did turn the heating on by the time it kicked in we finished our dinner.

Plates cleared when you just put your cutlery down for a breath. Table of 14 of us and we felt rushed the whole night. Food was average for the prices.

Great service, great food. Menu a little expensive and a small plate of 'breads' for starters would go down well (replace the shot of port at the end)

The food was lovely however the waitress kept coming up far too often and interrupting our conversation flow. Also I felt the place was a bit too noisy to sit and eat and chat. We were call out to each other as we couldn't be heard.

The food was quite nice food, services were quite generous, and an easy family venue, only concern was the amount of noise. It was an extremely noisey venue.

Good food - especially the pork belly, generous serves & great service. Pizza’s are very expensive though & not great. $27 for a g/f Diavola pizza that cost $15 literally in the heart of Rome & was 10 times better. Very noisy place & possibly wouldn’t go back.

Excellent meal for our group of 6, each meal was rated highly by all of us, service impeccable and nice decor. Only dropped a point due to the noise, the high ceilings made it very noisy even though the restaurant was not full, but in saying that I'll definitely be going back as the food more than makes up for that.

was ok! not great, would i go back? yea probably to try a pizza which looked ok (at other peoples table) Our mains were underwhelming, too much sauce-to veal ratio on my veal scallopini made for a disappointing main.

We are regular customers and are always happy with the quality and quantity of food at Rubicon. This time we booked for Mothers Day lunch for 8 people. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. Unfortunately however, our entrees forgot to be served and then they came out together with the mains. This meant there was too much food at once and most went to waste. Also my $16 Death by Chocolate dessert was the size of a small mandarin, and literally 3 mouthfuls, so that was also a little disappointing. Despite this, we will be back, because it just felt that they were overwhelmed and had an 'off' day - not the usual excellent standard we've experienced.

I had the most wonderful dinner with a girlfriend that I hadn't seen in forever. We ate and drank and the service was amazing. The cocktails were beautiful, and the seafood was incredible. Need some rose on the wine list though...
