   A lovely room which unfortunately was overwhelmed by the volume of noise. We found it difficult to hear the service staff or our own guests, continually requesting all to repeat what was spoken. The menu was fine, as we're our meals...expensive, to be sure, but the meals were tasty and well presented. Remembering the old European we found the lack of consistency with which tables had or had not been covered in white table cloths seemed to denegrate the finness expected with a fine dining experience. We may have left with a headache but also left with contented stomachs.

   The European is one of the few top quality restaurants open for lunch and dinner on Sundays. It has a lovely French bistro ambience and the food and wine is always excellent. We had whole flathead served on a butter and caper sauce. The squeeze of lemon gave it great tang as well. We had pomme frites and a salad of radicchio, pear and pecorino. I had a sheep's milk cheese as my "dessert" and my friend had the plum and almond tart which was delicious. We love coming here before or after seeing a play or film. Close to trams and trains, this is the ideal CBD eatery.

   The meals were small and expensive for what we had. Very loud but good atmosphere. Good service.

   Honestly nothing to fault for our dining experience here. Place was packed and busy but still top tier service. Our waiter was so friendly and made nice small chats, good wine recommendations. Albeit busy, food came through super quick. The tartare was beautiful, and charred octopus was tender and generous. Nice selection of non-alcoholic options as well! Absolutely loved it and looking forward to coming back here

   Oysters were freshly shucked and delicious, whole Flathead, beautiful but simply prepared and also freshly delicious. A wonderful experience. Can’t wait for a return visit.

    This was our first visit to The European. As pescatarians, we found the menu to be limited. Lots of meat options, however. We ordered the polenta chips, fish (Dory) main dish, the gnocchi. and broccolini. The chips, fish, and broccolini were very good. The pomodoro sauce on the gnocchi was disappointing, it did not taste fresh and was applied so heavily that it overpowered the gnocchi itself. There were a number of wines by the glass, but unfortunately not too many options for Australian and New Zealand wines. It was very noisy due to the pre-theatre crowd. Our server was friendly and attentive.
