We dined here for the first time on 27.8.25 and weren’t sure what to expect, but we were absolutely blown away. The service, food, and atmosphere were all excellent—it was such a lovely dining experience.nnWhat made it even more special was our server, Taylor. She was not only attentive to us but also so kind and patient with our 4-year-old son, taking the time to listen to his rambles even while clearly busy. That extra care meant so much to us and really added joy to our night. Thank you, Taylor—we truly appreciated it. It’s a shame her review card wasn’t working, as we would have loved to give her feedback directly, so we hope this message reaches management.nnThe food was also a standout—10/10. I had the beef cheek dish, and the portion was generous and absolutely worth the price. The flavors were beautiful, and I even had to take some home because I couldn’t finish it all.nnAll in all, we really enjoyed our first experience here and will definitely be back to try more dishes.
I had the most spectacular dinner experience. The signature steak was cooked to perfection, the chips were sublime and the salad was surprisingly AMAZING. I highly recommend the Lemon tart dessert. Renata, my server, treated me like a princess. She was attentive, knowledgeable and warm in demeanour. My food was brought to me as soon as it hit the bench.. I felt really looked after.nnThe music was easy going and the fireplace makes the place feel cosy.
This was our very first time at Smith and McKenzie’s and it did not disappoint. When we arrived we were promptly seated and it was really lovely that they already had some colouring pens, colouring page and a lollipop for our 4yr old. We were given ample time to look over the menu before being greeted by our lovely waitress Taylor. She was super nice, bubbly and patient and never once rushed us. As we ordered items for the menu she also highlighted some of the dishes that were really good or popular which was quite nice. She interacted with our 4yr old son and he loved chatting to her and telling her his long story and she never rushed him and was so patient and interactive with him which was so lovely and such great service. Taylor we felt went over and beyond in her service to us as she apologised for taking a bit longer in getting to us to take our dessert order as they were a waitress down however we weren’t bothered as we were in no rush but the fact she wanted to make sure we were waiting too long was really nice. Taylor definitely made our first dining experience a really positive one so much that we will definitly be back again soon.nnSmith and McKenzie’s itself was a really nice restaurant that was reasonably busy when we came but it was still quiet enough to have a good conversation and not be in other peoples conversations at their tables. The place was nice and clean and the tables were promptly cleared and cleaned when customers had finished.nnFood wise we were impressed I ordered the lamp rump, my partner had the beef cheek and our 4yr old had the chicken tenders. The lamb was cooked perfectly along with the broccolini, beetroot and potatoes. The beef cheek was melt in your mouth and the miso potatoes, carrots etc all paired so well together and cooked so well. We both felt both dishes were big portions especially for the good price of the dishes, so much so we actually couldn’t eat the whole thing and were able to take the rest home in takeaway containers. Our 4yr old had the chicken tenders, chips and cole slaw and again the portion was too big that again we packaged up what our 4yr old couldn’t eat and brought it home. Desserts we had lemon meringue tart and the sticky date pudding. The lemon meringue was so delicious the lemon curb was amazing not too sweet or too sour or tart and the meringue was done beautifully. It came with coconut sorbet and biscuit crumb and I tell you the coconut sorbet was delicious and went so well with the lemon meringue and that’s coming from someone who’s isn’t usually a fan of coconut desserts. The sticky date pudding was delicious but did find that it was quite a big portion so couldn’t finish it all but for the price it was definitly value for money.nnSmith and McKenzie’s was a big hit for our family tonight and we will for sure be back very soon for more family dinners.
Steak was cooked to perfection! That rub though! Service was excellent, staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was immaculate, clean but very homely. Well done guys.
Absolute beautiful night! It was our first night out as new parents. We had Princess as our waitress and she was beyond lovely. Very polite, happy & communication was excellent. 10/10 food, we had the share platter & we got defeated. Beautiful meal, beautiful staff. It’s our regular place to go & we will be back again very soon for our anniversary!! 8 years.nnThanks team.
