We went here for lunch and couldn’t fault a thing. The decor is lovely, great food and wine selection, the staff were so friendly and even organised a surprise birthday treat for me. We ordered lots of different tapas to share and the food was delicious! We would highly recommend this lovely restaurant but make sure you book �
We are regulars at the bar & restaurant every week and have been enjoying it now for around 18 months.
It has certainly gone through many changes over the years and has really become a wonderful venue since the current management took over.
The menu has changed a bit over the past several months, but I think its for the best.
My partner and I enjoyed a really tasty meal on Friday night. He had a steak and I had the ribs. Both were utterly yummy.
The week before, I had the carbonara and he had the salmon taglietelle. Both were absolutely delicious - we have not tasted anything better, anywhere and are now totally addicted!! So much for our diet!!
We will be back again this coming weekend.
Keep up the good work Gary & team !!
Went there Sunday to have lunch there with my partner and it was a very good meal and the service was excellent and I recommend everyone to go there as my partner and I will be going back there again well done to all of the workers there you all were wonderful
I like the sevice the staff are all friendly and go above and beyond. The food is always served hot and is very tasty. The bar is so beautiful with exposed beams and brick fire place on a comfortable lounge like area. Just a great atmosphere xx �
Had Mother’s Day lunch here today. Food was sensational- so much flavor and excellent service. We will definitely be coming back again. YUM !
Our lovely local. We have been here countless times and are always pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the service. Never had an issue at all.
Ribs & wings on a Thursday night, it’s a very generous feed for $25 & absolutely delicious fall off the bone ribs. Succulent, juicy tender ribs.... Will be back
Came here for lunch and had tapas. The service was fantastic, got given free croquettes as we accidentally sat in a booked up area and had to be moved. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Great atmosphere with good music and lots of people
Lovely little resturant hidden away behind the bar you couldnt even tell it was their. Great service from the get go! Tables well set and to standard. Place looked beautiful and inviting. Orders taken quickly and food came out just as fast. Bread was overcooked to start with. All other tapas style food served well. Nothing was a bang of flavour it was average all around.
Fantastic food. Venue with live music.
Outstanding service. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place to my friends!
Will be back here soon!
Servive was ok. We were seated but it took a while for them to get our order together and drinks out. The food was ok for the price point. Not sure if they were trying to be fine dining or casual so everything felt a little confusing. Overall not bad.
I had the Cuban steak to share with my brother. The cut was extremely tender and high quality, cooked medium rare just as we ordered and very well seasoned. Along with friendly and professional service we had a great night. Definitely shines bright among the restaurants in the area.
Last night my boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner at Eighty One. I ordered a really nice seafood paella while my boyfriend ordered a steak which he said was one of the best steaks he has had for a while.
For dessert we shared the deconstructed chocolate mousse which was delicious.
Customer service was also fantastic. We will definitely be returning to Eighty One sometime soon.
Great tapas. Enjoyed every dish. The squid wand scallops were awesome. Bit crowded and had to fight for a table but that's what you get with no bookings.
We went to Eighty One for dinner and were very impressed. The food was of a high quality and the wait was not long. The service was exceptional from all staff, they were very attentive. We will be back and would recommend to others.
AMAZING! had dinner here with friends on Saturday night and can't rave enough about the food and the service. The BBQ Short Ribs and Ocean Trout special were to die for. We thought the pricing was the best in Berwick for what you get and the restaurant and bar are lovely atmosphere and we went in to the bar for drinks afterwards to listen to the live music.This is not our first time here and we find it the most consistent place in Berwick but this last visit was a stand out!!!! Well done guys we will be back!
You could almost classify this a some what fine dining, chandeliers with a slightly clay modern, black leather look happening. The food isnt to bad for what you pay for and the service is pretty average. They have recently changed their menu and will update soon upon my new findings :-)
Whist there is the casual option - there is the very impressive white tablecloth section out the back. Menu was not too over pretentious with a good selection to suit all tastes. Certainly a place you could comfortably book a table at if you were looking to impress. The front section is relaxed and perfect for after work drinks. Writing this solidifies the fact that I need to come back here more often.

The first week we moved to Berwick, Epicure The Age featured one of our very own local restaurants for it’s weekly review. Eight One Berwick. I took it as a sign from above, obviously. Our new land was truly blessed by Larissa Dubecki and her 12 stars out of 20. Obviously having read about it I had to visit this restaurant. So I did. I went first of all with a girlfriend. We were keen to see each other and catch up and I was glad to have a semi decent restaurant for us to attend in my new ‘hood. We were not disappointed. My idea of a perfect last supper would be to eat finger food for the entire meal.
Eighty One offers Berwick locals a perfect atmosphere to escape weekend chores and chill out for a few hours...
Second visit. Great food, wine and music. We'll be back
Unbelievable!!!. After reading reviews on this restaurant we were going to with friends for dinner I was a little hesitant to say the least. But after reading similar reviews for other restaurants that I have been to and loved I ignored them and went in fresh. Everything was amazing! From the food to the staff to the live music in the front bar and the atmosphere. There is literally nothing I could fault in this place. I felt compelled to write this as obviously only extremely negative people write reviews or people with some mixed up agenda and to let future diners know how great it is. Well done guys we will be back
Couldn't fault it.. Dined last night in the dining room. Group of 4. Exceptional service and advice from 2 wait staff- a man and a woman, both outstanding. 2 ordered the fish curry special and loved it, one the lamb - small but very good and I had the pork belly- amazing. Desserts and cheese to finish. All up $210 including drinks. We travelled 40 minutes to dine here , and would do it again in a flash.
The restaurant had a comfortable atmosphere, and the staff were really friendly and responsive. However, beyond about 7pm, it became so loud in the venue that I could barely hear my partner across the table! It got to the point that it was almost unbearable.
The menu was incredibly uninspiring, with little to choose from. Had there not been 4 chefs specials, I would not have found a single thing I wanted to eat. My meal (curried flathead) was amazing, but my partners flat iron steak was fatty, tasteless and incredibly difficult to cut with the almost blunt steak knife. The deconstructed candy bar was delicious and tasted just like a chocolate and peanut butter bar.
Overall, the food was fairly good, but needs a larger range. I'd suggest getting there early, so at least you have a bit quieter atmosphere for longer!
Quaint little corner shop front with a beautiful atmosphere inside complimented by a very appropriate wine list. Lunch today was one to be noted with an excellent lunch special menu and very accommodating staff.
Definitely returning and recommend this is at least tried.

Unbelievable. Had a catch up with a group of girlfriends for dinner here the other night after not being for years (I moved away) and we had and amazing time. All staff were so friendly and diligent we didn't have to ask for anything and the food was divine. We then went in the front bar and spent the night listening to the singer in the front bar who was awesome. Great restaurant / bar in the suburbs will definitely be back!
Had dinner here with a friend, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the service was excellent! Will definately return!
SUBLIME. We have always been a fan of this little gem after moving to the burbs from the city, it is the only place we ever go to. Amazing Tapas and staff and love the live entertainment. The new chef has definitely taken things to a whole new level and the food in the dining room is to die for. Reading others say it is highly priced is ridiculous it is no more expensive than anything else around here including the pub. The place is just so beautiful that they have obviously perceived that it would cost more. Can't recommend 81 highly enough!!!
Lovely food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend for anyone who loves a wonderful feed. Prices are high but the food and drinks are well worth it.
Almost there. I can see why your likes/dislikes are running at around 50%. The food was excellent, all three of us enjoyed our meals, steak chicken rissotto all prepared as requested and very tasty.
However, the table for three that was available when we arrived "wasn't yours" so we waited while another one was made up. The complimentary bread got to our table, but after the mains were served. The wine list is very expensive.
I'd go back, but there is room for improvement.
Great Food. I went to Eighty One a few weeks ago for a private function, and the food they served was amazing.
Having eaten dinner there before, I had high expectations, and they did not let me down.
There service is great there too.
I would say a tad pricey, but compared to what else is around there, it is great
Hosted a birthday function here for 30 people on a Saturday night for fingerfood and drinks, and it all went perfectly. The private front bar area had fantastic atmosphere with the open fire and great acoustic musician. Everyone kept commenting on the atmosphere and the beauty of the building. Staff were fantastic and communicated well with us about when to bring food, birthday cake and when the bar tab was nearing limits set by us. Everyone loved the food and all was eaten immediately, would probably order more next time just because it was so yummy. Special mention to the guys on the bar who went out of their way to make sure I was having a great birthday. Drinks selection here is great, my guests enjoyed trying different beers and ciders on tap and local wines served by knowledgable bar staff. I would definitely recommend this venue for a function of 30-40 people it was a great night thanks eighty one, we will be back for dinner soon.
Firstly the atmosphere is fantastic in the front room, perfect lighting and an acoustic guitarist. Our entrees, mains and desserts were divine. While nothing was a problem for the staff, the only niggle I had was I was constantly getting up to ask for drink service, and to see mains and dessert menus. Other than that minor issue, a fantastic night! We will be back!!!!
Visited August 30 for dinner with a party of 3. Didn't have a reservation but were nicely accommodated. Meals and service were fine though one guest stated their duck was overdone. Otherwise a nice place and atmosphere.

Delightfuly Pleasant. My family celebrated our Mum's 80th birthday dinner here on Wednesday night. Mum grew up in Brewick and knows the history of the old historic buildings. Which is why we booked her dinner here. We had a table of 5 booked out in the dining room area-to our surprise the place was full. On a wednesday night?!
We were greeted promtly and taken to our table. There was a warm comforting feel to the restaurant, with all the tables lit up with small red candles. And the beautiful artwork on display. Our waitress made us feel very welcome indeed. Taking mums coat for her. We were poured water and given menus once seated. Although it seemed busy no-one seemed rushed.
As we had a few dietry restrictions-this lead to a number of questions. To which the waitress was happy to spend time at our table answering and explaining. Everything was answered with honesty and knowledge. The waitress was very friendly and helpful with our needs. My brother was undecided on the choice of wine so she also let us taste some wines all while explaining the differences between each of them. Making his choice alot easier.
We were told all the specials in detail and noticed this waitress had no writing pad-she memorized it all, relayed everything so confidently and then didn't even write our order down!!We had entrees and mains.
Mum commented saying "i wish i had a memory like that!"
We were not at all disappointed with our evening. Its a breath of fresh air to walk into a restaurant and be treated like family, and to know it is all honest. To see that there are waiters/ess' out there that have knowledge, and know the product they are selling. Service-GREAT, Ambiance-GREAT, Food-FULL OF FLAVOR, Drink-GREAT LOCAL SELECTION.
My family really enjoyed our night out with you. Thank you for providing us with all aspects of dining out is about. We are happy to share our experience. Thank you Eightyone and our waitress for giving Mum an 80th birthday to remember and also for showing Mum her memory is as good as yours. (with Berwick's history!
Dinner for 4. Sat in the less formal area, was really cosy. Love the decor and separating screens. Food is a little over priced, but well presented, well flavoured and really does fill you up. Must save room for dessert! Definitely book and dress well.Shall come back for a more private dinner. Overall: Food 9, Price 6.5, Service 9

Pretty Good!. Husband and I booked a last min dinner here tonight. Greeted at the door straight away, I noticed a sign saying no thongs, i was wearing thongs (9mths preg) nothing was said so that was good. Had a great waiter very helpful. We shared the calamari and stuffed mushrooms for tapas and they were both delish! Spewing i couldnt taste the aoli but hubby said it was great. For my 'main' i ordered the entree beetroot and goats cheese tart, when it came out unforuntatly the cheese was served cold on top, so i had to send it back and get one with out the cheese, i felt terrible but nowhere on the menu did it say it was going be cold, i had wrongly assumed it would be hot mixed in the tart not served on top. They were really good about and got me another one pretty quick and it was so yummy! Hubby had the porterhouse, decent sized serve with onion rings and fat chips but for $35 you would expect a better cut of meat, it was quite fatty and not the best steak his ever had. Overall pretty good experince and will go back. Just finding it hard being pregnant and not being able to eat a lot of things and the menu not explaining things in full.
Best Place EVER!. Went to Eighty One for dinner last week with a girlfriend and met up with friends afterwards and was overwhelmed! Not being from the area and coming from the city I didn't expect to see something like this in the burbs.
We were greeted promptly and sat and started with Tapas followed by one of the best dishes I've ever had. It was a piri piri chicken and not something I would usually order but glad I did. My girlfriend had the Ricotta Gnocchi and said it was to die for. Service was exceptional and fast. Drinks were served promptly too which was impressive.
We then moved into the bar to meet with friends who joined us later and loved the singer. The place was pumping, such a great vibe and the bar guys were great. At the end of the night Andrew Wishart who was runner up in X Factor came in (apparently he lives nearby) and got up and sang 4 songs being I was a fan I was rapt!
Never posted on this before but really wanted to share - best night EVER!
Great Place. We have just had our girls night out....what a terrific venue. Food was delicious, service awesome, atmosphere relaxed. Merryn was on top of the drinks orders, we never waited and all our food came out together. Compliments to the chef and also the staff (Merryn)...we had a ball and will be back!!!
Great food and service. Lucky for us that we didnt listen to the security man on the door who said it was fully booked and we wouldnt get a seat. This restaurant is very impressive from its food to its service. Waiters were helpful and attentive. Food was plentiful and delicious, wine by the glass was reasonably priced. Will be going back. Great restaurant for a quiet dinner for 2 or a table full of friends.
Great place with high quality food. Service is consistently good. Can be quiet mid week and super busy on weekend, but the staff seems to take it all in their stride. Highly recommended
Great place for dinner and drinks. waiters very helpful and attentive. delicious food and close to home :)
Love the building and the live music on a Friday night. Have only eaten once a few years ago and it was all deep fried pub food, but always busy so may have changed.
Great Modern Aust Food in a funky restaurant. This is our place of choice for a quality meal in the outer south-east suburbs. Firstly always book - it is very hard to get in, even earlier in the week. The food is full of quality ingredients. We've never had a bad meal here and keep going back to try the different options. Also service is very good here. Really like the Tapas menu.
