Rose of Australia Hotel, Erskineville
Upstairs the "fine dining" area was all crisp white tablecloths, mood lighting and even deer antlers on walls. The food was excellent--the lamb was tender and flavoursome although we couldn't detect much ginger in the barramundi ginger and soy sauce.
Service was generally excellent with ice water served immediately (such a rare thing in Sydney) and when we had to remind our waiter of our waylaid side of fries, it was soon presented with apologies with a promise it would be courteously removed from the bill (it was).
The signature dessert is the chocolate slut--a diabetic's nightmare of chocolate dipped marshmallows, chocolate mousse, chocolate tart, Belgian chocolate ice cream and a chocolate creme brulee. By the end of it we felt bloated, dirty and guilt-ridden--and by this we guess it lived up to its moniker!
Well-presented food cooked to detail, I would definitely come back here again.

Yum! I've had kangaroo there and it was amazing. If only I'd known about Chocolate Slut!
