We booked a dinner for the family to celebrate a graduation. The setting and location are memorable and obvious why the restaurant is named glass after the floor to ceiling glass encased wine stacks and views overlooking the QVB. The wine list is impressive and the somlier assisted in selecting and decanting a very appropriate French Cab Sav to accompany our meals. The wines are a bit pricey but the quality is there. The meals were all of a high standard and presentation as you would expect from a quality French restaurant and certainly good value. The wait staff were all very attentive without being cloying and certainly added to the experience. To end the evening we were presented with a congratulatory plate of chocolate tasting brownies with complimentary French desert wine, all on the house. An unexpected and generous touch which made the experience even more memorable. Would thoroughly reccommend and we will be back!

Influenced by the culture of sip-a-little-bit-of-this-and-eat-a-little-bit-of-that, Tapavino began in August 2012 as Australia’s first Sherry Bar in Sydney, in a little lane-way not unlike something you would find in the cobblestoned alleyways of Spain. Helped by the beautiful warm vibe that greets you as you step inside and take a seat among floor-to-ceiling wine bottles, Tapavino was named runner-up in Sydney Morning Herald's 'Best New Bar' Awards within 4-months of opening. 12-months later we were named 'Best Bar with Food'.

I got a steak, with chips and Salad, now a salad should consist of more than lettuce and a couple of bits of cucumber!! cost me $38 so a bit disappointing, the steak and chips were good. it doesn't cost a lot to put a couple of cherry tomatoes in a salad.. We had the same problem back in May with my husbands steak, he asked to get some more salad added ,so they put on some of the coleslaw mix, I was just hoping it might have changed. Please improve the salad, its embarrassing, wouldn't take overseas visitors here for this reason. the prawns didn't have much taste at all either. Lovely spot and good staff.
