    The experience of dining at this magnificent restaurant was the food. The steak tartare is made to to perfection and the beef Bourguignon is delicious as for the cheese soufflé, amazing Steaks are cooked to perfection. You also have to try the Paris mash it literally melts in your mouth. To top off the experience we had Daisy to serve us who was great in every way. We definitely will be returning to try the other dishes on offer. Thank you Debutant for a great luncheon.

    We enjoyed our experience at debutant! The drinks were lovely. Nicole the bartender upstairs was friendly and kind! Great service from her. We enjoyed our meals - the zuchinni side was delicious and our favourite . The steaks were also cooked beautifully and as we requested them. I wouldn’t get dessert again - my profiteroles tasted a bit stale and the custard tart was average. I would have also loved to have been told one was probably enough to share. However the advice on the mains from staff was great! The service from restaurant start was good, however the food was delivered and staff moved quite quickly to serve others - this made it difficult to order another drink. It’s also a nice and quiet restaurant with a lovely ambience. Nice to be able to hear each others conversations! Overall I would definitely recommend starters and mains however next time I’d personally skip dessert! It’s a lovely spot in Wollongong for a quality steak and special meal out.

    The noise levels were loud , likely due to the upstairs function and the busy Christmas season, which made it a bit difficult to hear each other. The food was so delicious that we ended up ordering a second serving! That said, the service from Nicole and the rest of the staff was outstanding!
