La Griglia - Balmain (NSW)

The staff and the owner were very friendly and attentive. It was time to explain the menu and make suggestions. All we chose was excellent, the Chilli Mussels were my favorite. My sons cleaned their plates and we all stayed completely full and had a great night to eat. The owner is super friendly and we will definitely come back here to try the plates!

A friend to eat. Calamari was delicious. The Sizzling Shrimps in a tomato sauce was tasteless very disappointing. The bread that came with him was cut fried roll. We've just reached Entree and the main thing.

Good location and atmosphere and decent food, but these guys forget us at least 4 times starting with waiting for 20 minutes for menus and glasses for drinking water. With the last time, we cost us over an hour waiting for nets that I'm pretty sure they just forget. We were coveted with 2 free drinks, which was a nice note, but presuming that we drove and had to pay a babysitter.

I cannot recommend this restaurant to everyone!!! The restaurant was chosen as they accepted the Yams that run around. We came to the only restaurant in Darling St that nobody had in it... We felt terrible for the staff so decided to stay....BIG MISTAKE! The service was normal except the young guy, although his first night was very friendly and did his work well. We had our dinner, that was okay.nothing too exciting.but happy to support our local business.. The issue started when they did not pay the $50 discount! The owner came to the table and explained that he knew nothing about the discount. Then our bill took off and sent the boy back with a more expensive bill! He was embarrassed and apologised and explained that he was not happy with what he had to do in the owners!! Not cool to do that, especially to someone's first night! This has definitely left a bad taste and ruined our night.

The service was standard but right at the end... When they didn't honour the 30% discount because it was public holiday, why even advertise it on those days then? I didn't want to argue cause it would of ruined the night for my partner as well. But it definitely ruined my night . The quality of the food and amount definitely doesnt meet the prices set. I read comments earlier in the year, may be times have changed but $40 for half rack rib where there was more bone than meat, that just tasted like bbq sauce. FML. Don't recommend it for anyone.
