The servers were attentive. And made some good recommendations when we asked. The pork was a fantastic recommendation, easily the best I've eaten in a restaurant. Nice night out

Food was amazing. We had the 4 course tasting menu (chefs selection). Good amount of food for $ spent. All dishes were incredible. Favourite was oysters and the lamb shoulder. Service was not as high level as we expected it to be. Table not cleaned down throughout service. There were a few times when food was bought out however plates were not bought out with it, waiter/waitress needed prompting to bring plates (meals were served as sharing plates), we sat for 5 minutes before plates were bought out to us. Drinks were slow, coffee at end of meal was not bought out until very last second. Overall we loved the food and hope service will improve next time we visit

Our group thought that the venue was very noisy so made it difficult to have a conversation and the food was over seasoned(salty).

With some allergy impacts we started well with good engagement with the staff after pre advising of the items that could not be eaten. There was a clear restricted menu available when we started and once we selected it took a very long time to come out, others after us ordered were into the second course before our dishes were served, others after us tables also offered completely sparkling wine and beard, nothing for us , the king fish was smaller than a starter and very poor value, steak was ok but not seasoned, no sides were provided or offered. Seems too ‘Chefie ’ for a regular punter.
North&COMMONResponded on 15 January 2025
Dear Gavin, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear your initial interaction with our staff was positive. We strive to accommodate dietary needs, but due to shared kitchen spaces, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of cross-contamination. We apologize if this caused concern. Regarding the kingfish, it is part of our small plates selection, which is why the portion was smaller. We regret the timing delay and will review this with our team. We also appreciate your comments on seasoning, portion sizes, and the lack of sides, which will be taken into account. We value your feedback and hope you’ll consider visiting us again. Kind regards, North&Common Team
