Ambiance - since it was dinner, the lighting was quite dim.
Our waitress was very knowledgeable - we asked quite alot of questions regarding the food and she answered them skillfully. The Bread came and it was cold and quite chewy. Started off with 1/2 a dozen oysters. (Coffin Bay, Tasmanian, Smokey Bay)
All of them were very fresh and tasty. - $186 French Onion Soup - was delicious - probably one of the best onion soups I've had Decided to order the Daily 2 course dinner - $280
I think this deal is very good as you can choose any of the starters or salads with a main.
The mains are limited but it has a variety (salmon, lamb, chicken, risotto & duck)
I opted for the Tuna Tartare, avocado salad, mirin, chili, & spring onion.
The chili's really gave it a kick but the spring onion was very strong.- Overall it was okay For my Main I decided to order the Darne of Salmon - hollaindaise sauce & asparagus.
This was delicious - the salmon was cooked perfectly & the hollaindaise sauce was rich and creamy. Foie Gras Ballotine truffeld French Beans
This was nice and creamy and you could really taste the Truffles - Delicious! Slow Braised Lamb shank, parmesan polenta
The lamb was nice and tender - was a bit on the salty side. Me personally not a big fan of the parmesan polenta as it was very grainy - would have much prefered mash potatoes instead. - but overall the lamb was very good. Overall I had a great experience at the Press Room. I find it very hard to find such a knowledgeable staff as well as being very friendly and attentive.
I will definetly re-visit this restaurant - price is very reasonable, staff very friendly, ambiance very nice.
