Frommer's Review
Socialites, hip corporate types, and plain casuals adorn this bustling hangout -- for a meal, a snack, or just good coffee, roasted on-site. The interior is a mix of industrial design and European cafe, with dark timber tables, exposed air ducts, and windows onto the street. The open kitchen produces all its own bread and pastries and has a weekly changing menu with some weird and wonderful choices -- such as spiced yellow-pepper boar stew, or Cajun pink snapper with sweet-potato frites and avocado sour cream. The menu helpfully lists wine suggestions for each dish, and offers over 70 wines by the glass, from around A$8 (US$7.20/£3.60), and taster glasses, too. There's also a good beer selection.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
