    The recommendations by the staff at Balcon made our lunch fantastic. The somelier recommended a bottle of wine that was so smooth and lovely that we would have ordered another bottle if we didn’t have to go back to work after lunch. Our waiter helped us choose a selection of dishes to share that was the perfect amount and variety for four of us. The hanger steak was the highlight.

    We have dined at Balcon a number of times this year and we are always impressed by the food and service. We have chosen the set menus and have definitely been full at the end of our meal. We’ll be back and the various friends who have dined with us have all enjoyed the at Balcon.

    Always enjoy going here. Food and service are always excellent. The whole lamb shoulder was delicious. Wine list a bit too big and confusing for some, but staff are knowledgeable and always very helpful. The 25% off was very appreciated and made for great value.

    Our group of 8 wasn’t given a la carte option. Fixed menu was yummy but servings were modest..three of our party needed to top up from the nearby Maccas afterwards! Service was very good. It was not too noisy and ambience is enjoyable.

    I am obsessed with Balcon's savoy cabbage entree. Needless to say, I tried to replicate this at home all the time but have been unable to do so with the dressing! Kudos to the chef; the dressing is magic! Having said that, the BEST thing about our meal this evening is our service staff - the very lovely Silvia. She is easily the reason we have a 5 star experience! She's knowledgeable, helpful and the definition of great hospitality making us feel at ease and so well taken care of throughout the entire evening. It's hard to not want to spend more time in Balcon with the good food, good vibes and exceptional service provided by Silvia.

    Food and service were great. The octopus in paprika oil was amazing, definitely order a side or sourdough to scoop up all that oil.
