Used a Groupon voucher for 2 people - including a main course each, dessert each and a bottle of wine to share!
Firstly, their house wine Shiraz Cabernet was to die for! I ordered prawn tacos and my partner had a steak with a side of chips, onion rings, garlic aoli and red wine jus. Mains were such a great size - you actually felt full from the one course! My tacos were stunning, so full and packed of flavor. For dessert, we ordered a cheese board and a chocolate lovers plate. Definitely a good choice as they also came out with a sundae and a candle for my partners birthday! This was not included in the Groupon voucher but they still wanted to make sure you had a good experience, which we certainly did. The staff were friendly from the moment we walked in. We had three different staff serve and check up on us during the night. Overall, great deal on Groupon and experience for us!
We have been fortunate enough to have five meals at Encore over the journey and couldn't fail to give it 5 stars every time! From the Garlic bread to the main meal of Lamb Shoulder or Steak to the exquisite desserts and especially to the service you cannot fault Encore!!
Really nice food. Waited for an age and a half (1.5 hours), very nice setting in the dim candle light. Would have given it a higher rating as the food was very tasty with great pairing and combination of flavours. Dessert was especially nice but I’m no so sure about the sorbet combination with the brandy snap basket.
Absolutely divine food! My partner and I both had the Rib Eye (medium rare) and honestly it melted in your mouth, I would highly recommend the house Shiraz as well, it was delicious. The trio of ice creams was likewise a crowd pleaser! Nothing but good things to say about the experience!
Last night I went to this place for my birthday dinner for 10people reservations. I add 1 more person in the day I came.
At the first time just arrived in this place, just in love with everything. So straight away I Booked a table here.
The staffs were super friendly, the service was exellent. The food was amazing but unfortunately I'm not able to finish it as I'm too full, because we had 2 courses each person. But I'm glad that my friends enjoyed the dinner.
This place is so elegant and cool if u want to have good food and good service.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Warmest Regards,
Birthday Girl
A groupon voucher! Had the lamb shoulder which came with beens and mash. Was tasty and lamb was cook well, falling apart. Friend had the steak, was a little tough but nice flavors. Dessert, the fruit platter and trio of ice cream. Nice ice cream and awesome brandy snap as the basket!
We ate here on 2 consecutive occasions. The food and service was excellent. It is an intimate space and increased the value of staying at he Grand Chancellor Hotel.
Groupon night out. We came on a pre bought Groupon voucher and found the food and service to be of a very high standard loved the lamb shoulder with French lentils and also the trifle with the lemon curd left me wonting another.... Will be back
Had dinner here tonight as I am staying at the hotel for work. I ordered the slow cooked beef shoulder with mash and vegetables and it was absolutely divine! The red wine jus was just right and the beef melted in your mouth. I will be back for dinner another night this week!
Very happy with the food at Encore. I had the slow cooked beef shoulder and my husband had the tortellini. For dessert we had the Hazelnut Panacotta. We would recommend all of these and we couldn't fault any of the food. Service was a bit slow as it shouldn't take 2 hours to eat 2 courses. Would definitely go back again though.
We stayed at the hotel and went for drinks and desert at Encore. Bruno was behind the bar and was amazing. Everything A class here.
First time visiting this restaurant and the atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. We had a glass of wine while ordering our food. We both had the beef and reef. The steak was cooked perfectly, very juicy and tender. The lobster and prawns were delicious too. Our main course was just spotted on. For dessert, I had the lychee mousse cake and my partner had the trio of ice cream. They were not just beautifully displayed but also very nice. We loved it. The staffs were friendly and attentive, special thanks to Jessa who served us. Such a fantastic birthday celebration dinner with my partner. Thank you Encore!
Great food and great service!
Starter - the breads and charcuterie were yummy
Main - reef and beef, beef wasnt as tender and lobster claw was slightly undercooked but the rest including all the sides were delicious (We were full by this stage!)
Dessert - lychee and ice cream were the highlight, so good! (Always room for desserts :p)
Wine - house red Shiraz was surprisingly smooth and a great addition to the steak or drink by itself, was so easy to drink!
Top it off with good and friendly service by all the waiters/waitress, great job guys :)
Will definitely recommend to others :)
Absolutely Amazing food and Alex looked after us and did and amazing job. We didn’t just feel like a number but felt so welcome into the resturant. Thanks Alex.
Top class! The food was amazing and the service was above expectations. Highly recommend the steak and turf. Good atmosphere and very generous portion size.
Ps. Find specials on Groupon and if you haven't tried it already then don't be too late to grab a bargain of a life time on Groupon to experience this restaurant.
Used the Groupon deal. Decent the course meal, crumbed veal is great. Desserts have a good selection but are lacking in taste
Probably a bit biased review since we use a groupon which provided GREAT value. Great service, good food, good portion. A bit pricey hence not sure if we'll come back without a voucher.
