    We have dined at both the downstairs and upstairs restaurants. The upstairs was a 5 star experience. The table service was impeccable, food was clean, fresh and well thought out. I found the wine list to be overpriced, GOOD, but overpriced.
    The food downstairs can be hit and miss, although the only time I have eaten there is while having a drink in the beer garden, so I havn't paid a lot of attention to the food. Typical nibble styled food. I remember getting a row of wedges once, thought this was a bit 'too much' down the trendy path. When you are having a beer on a sunday afternoon you need more than 8 wedges.
    The service time at the bar on a busy night is pretty bad, it's a funny U shape so it's easy for the waitstaff to be confused about who to serve next. On that note the wine list is also amazing - the cheapest bottle of sparkling is $55... so it's a good idea to apply for a small loan before you visit!!
    Other drinks by the glass are reasonably priced, would have to admit I am still to beat the G&T w fresh lime I was served there once on a balmy summers night.

    All in all I think Raffles have done the right thing by trying to 'attract' a certain crowd, it is nice to dress up to have a drink with hubby on date night. It's not the sort of place I would take my children, but there is a great family friendly pub up the road if that's what you want out of the night.

    I have not had a bad meal upstairs as yet - and I am more than happy to pay more money for a dish I couldn't make a home, and that's what you pay for at the Raffles, the service, the view and the experience in itself.
