Mietta's Review
A great pick for a smart and formal dining experience. Very good food from a select and interesting menu at reasonable prices. The service is sharp and the space is long and narrow, with fairly conservative decor. A good selection of wine and beer.

Canberra Times Bryan Martin, 9-07-08 Score: 16/20 "A restaurant that stands tall, always trying to achieve higher standards, ticking all right the boxes: an impressive wine list, imaginative food and informative, confident service"

Sydney Eats 2008 "Dishes such as chermoula-spiced lamb fillets with creamy parmesan and polenta chips, baby broccolini and tangerine yoghurt are excellent, and desserts are always irresistible."

Canberra Times Catriona Jackson, 7-03-07 "A hugely welcoming place, it aims high and mostly meets the mark, offering modern Australian dishes with care and finesse, without any pretension. The restaurant is broken into two parts by the central kitchen: you can choose a front window spot, or push down the back, which opens out into an atrium-style room ... The sprightly young staff are welcoming and attentive on arrival and they maintain a professional approach throughout the meal. We feel well cared for, but not suffocated."

Sydney Eats 2006 "You'll always get a warm welcome at Rubicon. On a cold wet day, the warmth and light radiate as you enter, and when the weather smiles, you can sit out the back with a leafy outlook. In the evening the outdoor area is lit with fairy lights and there are plans afoot to install a permanent roof and more attractive removable walls. When you add very good food, service and wine, it's hard to beat."

Sydney Cheap Eats 2005 "It's a pleasure to walk into Rubicon with its elegant decor, subtle lighting and gentle music playing in the background. Sit in the courtyard over lunch or in the evening when it is lit to create a magical ambience."
