Karen McKerrow

Absolutely loved it. Gorgeous food (with complimentary amuse-bouche, bread and palette cleanser) and wonderful ambience. The music and lighting were gentle and fed my tired soul.

Fantastic!. As we were staying at University House we decided to give Boffins a go - and we liked it so much we dined two nights in a row! Fantastic service, fantastic food, highly recommend! The perfect understated elegance that Canberra does so well.

Really lovely meal with fresh ingredients and interesting flavours. Great selection of reasonably priced local wines. They have a new, fresh team who are keen and passionate and the atmosphere was comfortable and stylish. One star off because service was a little slack at one point but all over a great experience and highly recommended.

David Naylor

More of a 4.5 star than 5, but still exceptional. Great food and professional staff. The diner style booths give it an historic charm. Soft furnishings and lighting make it perfect for dinner conversations you can actually hear. Usually better to make a booking, especially during busy nights of the week and parliamentary sittings.

Mara Cox

Small quite but beautiful location and atmosphere. I had the duck which was to die for and zucchini cake which to me was amazing. Well attended to by staff. I highly recommend for quiet romantic/intimate dinners.

James Arvanitakis

Did not expect much but was pleasantly surprised: the service was friendly and the food was excellent... I really enjoyed the king fish... and the new beef entree was amazing. Situated in the old part of Australian National University, you really do get the feeling of being back in time. I enjoyed this place... thanks!!!!

Boyd McMillan

Wonderful vegetarian meal with complimentary flavours enhancing natural texture organic and sourced produce. Finished with suburb cheeses and fruit. Local rosé to compliment the meal. Intelligent, efficient and friendly service, just a lovely experience.

Antonie Botes

Great atmosphere, affordable drinks and decent food. Plenty of seating both inside and out under beautiful old trees. A great place to catch up with a group of friends. Often has live music during the summer months.
