What User likes about The Epicurean Kitchen, Balnarring:
What an incredible find this place is! This restaurant has served the best meal we've had on the island since we moved here eight years ago, and we've sampled many wineries in that time. Ari greeted us at the door with such warmth and friendliness. I tried the Mandarin Sour cocktail she recommended, and it was fantastic. The soft-shell crab tempura was to die for, followed by the 12-hour lamb ragout with pappardelle.... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Epicurean Kitchen, Balnarring:
terrible service and very deorganized. a very oily roasted sandwich that came out for all of us and not ideal to see stacking and baptizing dirty straightening on the bar View all feedback.

Not even open when they state they are. Website states they're open at 4:30 but the phone rings out. Poor service. I find pizza's delicious but overpriced.

Disappointed. We were the only people in the restaurant and it took over an hour for a pizza and a pasta to come out. The penne and meatballs were bland and you...
