We had been regulars at Table 51 some years ago (~6 apparently) before the current proprietors had taken over and were not dissapointed. Food was wonderful, with the entree of coconut battered Bug tail salad to die for. The bug was delicately cooked and firm with the coconut batter adding another texture and flavour dimension that I found very intriguing... More

Food was fantastic, i had the pork entree with a side salad and chocolate prauline tart for dessert. Only complaint was that it would have been better served with ice cream, not cream. Pork was amazing, perfect flavours. Really enjoyed the service here, we were the only ones in the restaurant for at least an hour and being right next... More

We were immediately greeted by wait staff and promptly seated. Water was provided straight away. The menu has a wide selection of unusual and tasty dishes that you may not find else where. The wait staff were friendly and attentive during our meal. The honey roast duck was generous in portion and tasted amazing. The seafood in the fettuccine was... More

We dined here for my 21st birthday and despite great reviews, I was a little disappointed! The staff were a little pretentious and condescending. The food, however, was great! Very tantalising and so much on the plate that I couldn't get through the main. Atmosphere was great and the food was vie for money. I highly recommend the chicken linguini... More

Having been to Table 51 a few times previously, I knew it wouldn't disappoint, so chose it as the venue for my 10-year anniversary with my partner. We don't go out much, so it was important to choose somewhere I knew would please without fail. Atmosphere here is always delightful - quietly subdued, romantic and away from noise of the... More

I was looking forward to going here, had heard some good word of mouth reviews. So took the wife and off we went. They had approximatley 45 in for dinner, seemed to run pretty smooth. Between us we had an oyster shooter and the Beef Carpaccio which lacked flavour, very bland and had no seasoning. For mains one very over... More

I have dined at Table 51 quite a few times & always walked out a satisfied customer. However this evening, this was not so. Started with the arancini balls which were lovely. Both my husband & I tried the two different risottos. His the seafood & mine the mushroom & spinach. Serving size was of an entree quantity, but a... More

This restaurant is a must. The dishes prepared by the chef's display a fine example of flavors complimenting each other. The quality of these dishes combined with the service that is best described as first class whilst not be intrusive. The ambience is suitable but I feel could be lightened up. Return visit guaranteed.

The food is amazing and a good selection. I had scallops wrapped in procuitto with rockmelon and an orange sauce. Presentation made the dish even more inviting. The flavour left my tastebuds wanting more. Main course was a souffle which I have never tried previously. It was light and fluffy and very tasty. I would order both meals again. There... More
