    MICRO AGGRESSION & RACIST EXPERIENCE We were running late for our reservation and emailed ahead. I sincerely apologised for the delay upon arrival. However, a male waiter sarcastically remarked, “Only 45 minutes? Typical Vietnamese style.” As an Australian Vietnamese customer, I found this comment completely unacceptable. This is a textbook example of a microaggression—a subtle but harmful remark that reinforces racial stereotypes, against minorities. The comment implied that my lateness was due to ethnicity rather than an individual circumstance. The word “typical” further suggested that Vietnamese people are generally late and unreliable. This kind of language fosters an unwelcoming environment. The waiter was extremely rude to us during the service. After asking my friend if she was done eating, he took the plate and walked away without any acknowledgment. It was unfortunate that we had to experience this during 2025. The food and view were fantastic but that was largely overshadowed by the disgusting service.

    This is a very nice restaurant. A bit loud at lunch, but all places these days are. Food was excellent and good vallue. Vegetarians (non Vegan) are ok with ordering a few sides, as my wife did. So overall, a very nice experience.

    Fabulous place for a special lunch. Good food, great view, helpful but unobtrusive service. Nice way to show off Balmoral Beach to out of town visitors.

    We had a fantastic Valentine’s dinner at the bistro. The food was absolutely incredible, with a special mention for the mussels—they were hands down the best we’ve had in years! The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between cozy and vibrant, making it ideal for a relaxed yet sophisticated date night. The wine recommendation was spot on, pairing beautifully with the meal—it was so good, the bottle was empty before the main course even arrived! We will be back 🥳
