Posted 28 Dec 2011 by Chef from Europe

I went to songbirds with my Partner to celebrate my birthday. I was extremely excited to try the cuisine and was utterly dissapointed and disgusted with the customer service we received. Upon our arrival we were not greeted to be seated at our table ( which was booked prior) when we finally were seated, the cutlery was filthy and the table cloth dirty. Our drinks took over 1/2 to come to our table and we were not provided with water. The food was lovely however extremely over priced. I would like to say, I take my hat off to the chefs and waitresses to be able to put up with the rude owner who just constantly barks orders and does not lift a finger to help her staff. It was embarssing to watch. A birthday ruined. I would not recommend songbirds to anyone, especially to out of town travelers.

Unfortunately it wasn't as good as our last visit. The food was beautifully presented and the flavours were great but the portion sizes - particularly for the seafood dishes were small and my husband was still hungry afterwards. There also wasn't anyone to greet us at reception when we arrived and there was Billy Idol blasting inside - not the best choice of music for a romantic rainforest setting restaurant.

An outstanding experience. The only regret is that we didn't stay the night.

I would agree with Goldie. I have been to Songbirds on four occasions. Some for special occasions. On all occasions I have found the food to be exceptional and creative. Yes I have had to wait on some occasions for quite a long time. However, it has been on Mothers day for example when the restaurant has been fully booked and the kitchen is being slammed. To some people, this would be an unacceptable wait but if you are not in a hurry, the food Is really worth it. The wait staff on all occasions I have found to be extremely attentive and apoligetic if you are waiting. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to have a great experience with innovative produce driven food.

Yikes it sounds like Diner had a bad experience because we went there today for lunch and everything was fantastic. We arrived at about 12pm which was when the restaurant was quieter so maybe that's why we got such great service but the food is absolutely amazing and they deserve all the awards they have hanging on the wall. Perhaps the service is a bit hit and miss because my dad went there for his birthday and said it was very slow and complained but today they were definately on the ball. It's a beautiful garden setting and kookaburra's were flying around even stealing chips from a nearby table! I had the consomme soup and wagyu steak and both were fantastic. Will go again.
