   I loved the entire experience at this restaurant. Great staff very accommodating and very attentive without being intrusive. The food was absolutely divine and I’m very glad we went with the tasting menu in order to try as many things as possible. While there are many standout such as the roasted pumpkin with goat cheese and the amazing duck I do have to give amazing marks to the smoked brisket fat butter. There’s not much room for error in butter and the balance of flavour was perfect.

   The food was devine! We had the banquet and every meal was delicious and I walked away absolutely stuffed, very good value for money. The cocktails we tried we also yummy. The downside is that it's so busy but that's just a testament to how great it is to dine here. I have already recommended this restaurant to others and I look forward to my own future visit.

   This is the 5th time I've been to The Arsonist - usually for birthday celebrations. The banquet menus are fabulous and allow you try so many different items on the menu. Highly recommend them! The staff are always so informative and attentive, we have never had a bad time there - just wish I could go more often!

   We were a group of three there for a birthday dinner. We had the $105 feeast. Food was fabulous and never disappoints. However it was. Hot humid night. Windows open. Aircon simply did not cope. It was stifling inside. Too hot. Uncomfortable. Still love then venue but won’t do Feb dinner there again. Much more enjoyable in a cooler climate.

    This place never disappoints but last night was exceptional. We have dined here before and had great food and the service has always been of a high standard but I’ve recently had to do an elimination diet and now I have some odd dietary requirements (low acid, no vinegar, no fermented food etc) which can be tricky to work around but nothing was too much trouble for them. I love scallops but couldn’t have the ones on the menu, without me asking they offered to make scallops I could eat with garlic butter. The barman came over to check what I could drink and made me my own off menu drink that was so yummy and went so well with the lamb. The waitress was attentive and friendly and the kitchen staff double checked ingredients in each dish to make sure. The food was delicious as always - my husband had steak and it was so tender and juicy he could cut it with his fork. My kids shared the duck and were very happy. Massive Thankyou to all the staff. It was so lovely to be able to come and have a restaurant experience where I didn’t feel as though I was missing out. Exceeded expectations. Best service I’ve ever experienced and very genuine.
