Many thanks to Ines and our waitress for looking after us for a birthday lunch.fabulous food and service. We enjoyed our table in the corner too.

Great environment but terrible food, had the taxi feast, and 2 out of 8 dishes were great, but the 6 rest were not tasty. Question the chef who is in charge of the menu design. Also would be better if staff members could have a smile on their face.

It was a beautiful experience to have lunch here with my guests and try the Feed me lunch. Food was great especially the pork belly. Service from Jade was exceptional as she was helpful and pleasant to deal with. Will come back again soon.

Came back again yesterday 20 Oct.with a couple this time for the Showstopper dinner. Food was amazing and my friends loved the food and the place. Like our first visit, the service was superb - thanks to Kitty

A truly wonderful and relaxing lunch today at Taxi Kitchen. “Modern Asian” cuisine can be a bit hit and miss, but every single dish we ordered was outstanding. Highly recommend the Wagyu dumpling, the duck, and the XO pippies. The service staff were lovely and hospitable, especially because we bought an infant child which they kindly provided a high chair for with no fuss. I would highly recommend Taxi Kitchen.

19/10: I am back again for dinner during business trip, the food soooo good. Big thank you to Chef Ian, amazing food.

27/08: Spacious with a lot of natural light, food is fresh and tasty. We had a great late lunch.

We actually had a really great meal, unfortunately I am only giving a 3 star rating because when we went to collect our meals it felt like we were spoken at no to. It was very awkward and when then said every dish had a side of gravy his response was while nodding his head, yes that's enough gravy there for all your meals (in one dish). We then replied no we ordered a side of gravy with every meal, he once again nodding his head said here is another, then we respond we have 3 dishes so that is 3 sides of gravy. He then insisted for us to go sit down and he will bring the last dish, which he did.
It may seem like a rant about gravy but when someone is talking at you instead of too you then it's never a good experience!

Had a fantastic night - NYE. Food Drinks and Service were spot on - my only issue was the porterhouse steak was very tough. Was not expecting that. Otherwise perfect!

This was our third last
time at this venue.
Whilst the food has always been great, the service has deminished.
When booking we requested a window table.
Upon arrival we were shown to a table in the centre of the restaurant even though all the window tables were empty and remained so all evening.
I especially dislike being told by wait staff after every request from drinks to food to paying the bill that it is " No Problem".
Why would it be? It is you job.
Then in the end being shown how to leave a tip.
The only way to get good service is to complain about inadequate or bad service.

New Years Eve was very disappointing. Our friend had a cocktail spilt on his back we we arrived. Had an 8: 30 booking, but by 10: 30 we had only been served canapés. Main meal came out at 11: 15 and was dry and bland. Not up to usual Standards. Paid $300 per person and had to keep asking for drinks to be served. Very disappointing service and very ordinary meal. Won’t be going back for NYE again.

Awesome NYE experience. The food was excellent and plentiful and the attitude of the staff was generous. Exceptional night.

The managers were so rude. They ignored us and then told us we were too early for our booking (it was only 4 minutes before booking time). Asked if we wanted water and never returned. Another staff member (she was lovely) asked us again if we wanted water and said that the previous guy had walked off. Really poor first impression from these guys and won’t be returning even though there was no issue with the food.

Finally a place that lived up to the good food guide of 2022. The waitresses Tasmyn and her colleague with the multicolour hair (which is done by her hairdressing sister) made the experience better. I am giving one less star because it is a stupid rule that gives tips to all staff. We only gave 10 bucks to give to tasmyn only as she deserved it.

The mains were a bit slow to come out but after the porterhouse enter my mouth i forgot how long i was waiting for.

Great sports bar with tasty beers, quick cocktails and fast kitchen. Lively ambiance with a few high bar tables inside. They also have outdoor seating

Great service and food with fabulous view. Taxi kitchen has never disappointed us. It was lovely of them to make such a nice effort at making my husband's 60th birthday dessert special. Thanks:)

One of the best meals have had in a long time. I am a vegetarian and the options were delicious. Charred eggplant to start, pumpkin tortellini for main, cauliflower and fries to share as sides and chocolate parfait for desert (not shared!). The sparkling and the coffee fantastic. Service was outstanding. The venue is stunning and the 4 of us felt very comfortable, as our 3 1/2 hour Sunday lunch showed! I would most certainly go back. And if you have not been book and go, you won't be disappointed.

What a great place. Warm welcome. Great oysters. King Fish to die for and the best duck I've had in 6 months. But the best thing was that we were not rushed. Thank you Taxi kitchen

Average for the food.
I had order a 6 plate tasting, the first 3 plate is was impress me but after that Im disappointed for this cost also the service was TERRIBLE. My partner and I were looked up and down before a 'welcome' could be given. For a place in tourist central if good service is what you looking for I really don't recoment this restaurant.
