Great food and great service. Went with my wife on a date night for the first time in a while and chose Vibrante as it was reasonable close to home. Have been there before but seems to get better with each visit.

Delicious food and great, friendly service. Loved that there was a table available for us even during peak hour. Wait times for food also great. Great if you want a no fuss, delicious meal out but without the queues and wait. It was great going here for our first outing with our 4 month old in a pram!

Vibrante is always reliable - we took interstate guests there for dinner: we all thoroughly enjoyed the food which, as usual, was complemented by unobtrusive but excellent service. We all have our favourite dishes, but for me the gnocchi with chicken and mushroom is a standout success ...

The room was cold when we came in and stayed too cold near the window. We were abandoned at the table after being shown to our seat We had to signal to ask for the menus including drinks menu You had only a few staff on at 6.00 and later when more people arrived you didn’t have enough The food was good, but pedestrian

The food is nice but the menu needs modernising. There are good early bird deals like 2 courses for $25 and a lunch menu. The menu hasn’t changed much in the last couple of years and it tends to attract older generations.

I really enjoyed the meal. There were 3 issues. First on the web site there was no provision for comments like "Could I have a quiet table" and when mentioned I was told could ring. But what's the point of the web site if I also have to ring. I could ring and not use the web site at all. Second the wine list was very limited because there were mainly bottle prices and for reds for example only 3 were glasses and bottles. I suppose so people will pay for a $40+ bottle of wine. Furthermore, the nice reds were bottle only. Finally, the waitress was inexperienced and needed training - not her fault but a management problem.

I had a lovely lunch with a girlfriend at Vibrante. I had the gnocchi, which was delicious. My friend went straight to dessert and had sticky date pudding. She loved it, and the sauce was rich which added to the enjoyment. Nice and warm and attentive staff too.

The food was good but service was slow. As it was Mother's Day it was busier than usual & I guess that's why service was slow.

Atmosphere was vibrant - restaurant was busy, but prompt service. I had the eggplant stack for entree and beef ragu for main. Generous size servings, and both meals were delicious. Very happy with my meal choices.

The food came way too fast and was not great. The calamari was really wide and oily, the eggplant chips dry and chewy. The dipping sauce tasted like bottled mayonnaise. The gnocchi was plentiful but left the diner with a very upset stomach.

Asked staff how many prawns and how many scallops would I receive in the entrée dish. I was told 4 of each. When the dish arrived I received 2 prawns and 3 scallops. I mentioned this to the same staff who replied that the kitchen must have reduced the size of the servings. I asked them to mention my concern to the kitchen. I did not hear back from either the staff or kitchen.

Good 'traditional' food - nothing cutting edge or new fad. Upstairs dining area lacks a bit of atmosphere, and the staff are efficient but lack 'personality'. Whilst you don't want them interrupting or carrying on long conversations, they do need to be able to look you in the eye and acknowledge your existence rather than looking around for the next table to attend while taking your order. But that aside I recommend the venue

The service was attentive and friendly but not intrusive . My meal of pork was well cooked juicy and flavoursome. My partner's dukar encrusted salmon was OK but the skin was tough and not chrisp. We both enjoyed our deserts and coffee. Accepts AMEX. Overall a great night.

Service fell short on this occasion which was unexpected. Restaurant was busy and and this undoubtedly was contributing factor. However restaurant is good value with excellent food and reasonable prices.

There were 4 of us there for dinner, and while 3 of us had pleasant meals, the 4th meal was a major let down. ‘Fish and chips’, proved to be a huge disappointment. Small thin slithers of fish encased in large amounts of batter. Sorry, will be quite a while before we return.

The food was good. The service fair and the ambience non existent. It was far too noisy ,so as soon as we ate our meals we left and had coffee over the road. We couldn’t carry on any conversation with our friends I will not be going back
