i took someone here for a date, we both love good food & we weren’t disappointed. we had the $85 chef’s menu, a bottle of tempranillo and a couple of cocktails.
the ambience is great, the food was delicious and well portioned. we were both very happy with the experience and would recommendhazelto anyone.
only hiccup was when our waitress had a break, the server who took over didn’t realise we’d not had the lamb course and delivered dessert. it was fixed quickly and discreetly though.
favourite for both of us was the barramundi salami with fried toast, followed by the calamari & broad bean dish. also the plate of vegetables with the chickpea miso… it was all delicious.

loved every single dish. there are very few places i can say that of, andhazelis one of those few. the portions are small, which means you can order more dishes to try. the service was good and the menu is reasonably priced. we loved that the kitchen cut everything into 4 portions for us, which made sharing so much easier! will definitely be coming back again.

really enjoyed eating athazel- beautiful and bright interior, food is simply delicious - enjoyed the beef tartare and spent noodles the most. service is incredible - the staff are very attentive and helpful. will be back for more sure.

we recently celebrated our anniversary athazeland were blown away by everything they had to offer. i had been wanting to go here since i had heard about it's opening, and i wasn't disappointed. this venue is in a beautiful part of town, in the most gorgeous old building, and the decor is just divine. so chic and elegant, with amazing lighting and furniture;hazeljust oozes style and class. we were served by several different people, and each of them was extremely hospitable and friendly.

after toasting with fabulous wine, we began with the complementary french onion dip with hand made crackers. such a welcome touch, and extremely tasty. we wanted to start with their famous toasts, and i'm so glad that we did. one came with the richest pate imaginable, and was just sublime; and the other was a refreshing beef tartare which was seasoned perfectly. the toasts are fun to share, and an interesting menu concept that i think really works.

our mains were a divine duck breast, and the succulent lamb chop, with a side of broccolini. everything was just delicious and perfectly cooked. the proteins were still tender and full of flavour, and the broccoluni was dressed beautifully.

we were delighted when our dessert of apple crumble came out with an anniversary message. another lovely and personal touch which shows the level of care that this restaurant takes. the crumble itself was amazing, with it's tart apple, crunchy caramel crumble and divinely creamy ice cream. the perfect end to a fabulous dinner.

i'm so glad that we chosehazelfor this special occasion and would absolutely return again in a heartbeat. the menu is extensive and interesting enough to tempt us back, as is the fabulous service and serene ambience.hazelis all class, and should do well in this part of town.

we came tohazelfor dinner and were seriously impressed. before we even get to food, the restaurant space is beautiful and the open kitchen was great to see. we celebrated a special occasion and multiple staff were aware of this, offering their congratulations which really added to the already amazing service.

it is recommended that food is shared here and thanks to our wonderful waitress we ordered the perfect amount. do order something from the toast section - we loved the beef tartare and duck pate on sourdough. other dishes to try include the lamb, scotch fillet and crumble dessert. we found the other dishes we ordered to be quite nice but not particularly memorable.

we will definitely be back to try more from hazel!
