Verified Reviews of Private Dining Rooms in Sydney
I hosted my wedding rehearsal dinner here and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were so friendly and wonderful and the food was delicious! I am so glad this space was available. We had 28 people and we had about half the restaurant to ourselves and it worked well for us. Since it's not a separate room it was a bit noisy at times but we didn't mind at all and the space was cozy and created a great ambiance and vibe for our rehearsal dinner. Thanks again for the wonderful staff. who made the night special for us :)
Private, well-presented circular layout perfect for our group of 16. Premium dishes coupled with excellent and timely service made this a memorable experience for all.
Location is very convenient, food was lovely and service on the night was attentive but not intrusive. Generous serves and flexible with timing for bringing out dishes. We had 19 people and really made an effort to give us what we were aiming for.
Food, service and the booking experience was outstanding. We had a space within the wine room for our group as it was a birthday and this was also fantastic. Highly recommend - we will be back.
Great birthday celebration at Fonda, space was amazing, staff were awesome and food perfect. Thank you
Amazing place with delicious food, the venue is something different and unique and was very well received by the visitors. Would 100% book again
Jai was super helpful and flexible. The venue was a great location with everything we needed for our shoot/event. Having parking was a bonus too.
