About Irene's Enmore
Good food makes for good memories, best savoured and enjoyed in fine company at Hartsyard restaurant on Enmore Road in Newtown. Rocking a refurbished look of monotone tattoo-like wall art, banquette seating, intimate table settings and geometric tiled floors, Hartsyard appeals as a suave, relaxing spot for a leisurely meal and drop of choice. Settle in with scallops, wattle seed, shellfish oil and salmon roe from an evolving menu of share plates; before delving into pork jowl with tomato vinegar, preserved cucumber and black garlic, or perhaps kingfish, yuzu kosho, pickled Padron and fried seaweed. For an indulgent finish, try persimmon, black sesame, vinegar caramel and sheep's yoghurt sorbet; those dining in groups may opt for the set menu showcasing the best of their a la carte dishes.

While the dining experience was wonderful, it was marred by the 10 percent surcharge that we had to pay because we were a group 8 (not a pubic holiday surcharge). It felt like we were being penalised. While it may have been mentioned on the website, I had initially booked for 6 so it didn't register when I changed the booking over the phone to 8. It was not explained on the phone, so I didn't have the option to cancel, which we would have done because there are plenty of other restaurants and pubs around that happily except larger groups. The irony is that we would have left a sizable tip, as the great service was appreciated.
While the food was delicious, we left with a sour taste in our mouths!
