About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails

Folio is a contemporary bar and dining space beside the Roslyn Packer Theatre, operated by The Fresh Collective. Inspired by New York’s theatre bars, it offers cocktails, share plates, and late-night favourites in a warm, elegant setting.

    A beautiful start to our evening. Staff were fabulous, cocktails amazing and the best eggplant ever!! The only downside, and it happens at a lot of restarants, I really dont like the tip option when paying by card. The machine shoved in your face with the tip options before paying.. the staff are clearly embarrassd by it. This is not America - tipping is not mandatory nor should you feel that it is. I nearly always tip (has to be good reason for me not to) but when I have it shoved in my face it makes me want to NOT tip! Other than that, it was a great experience and we will return!

    Hi Danielle, Thank you for the feedback, we are sorry to hear that you felt pressured to tip. We do not intend to make anyone feel pressured to tip, it is there as a way to thank your server for their service. We will take this feedback onboard and use it as an opportunity to improve and grow.

    Excellent as always. Yummy hamburger and the best ever chips. We didn't have the mousse this time, but I recall how good it was from our last visit. My husband and I love this place and always drop by for an early dinner before seeing a show.

    Hi Caroline, Thank you for the absolutely delightful feedback! We look forward to you dropping back in! And hopefully for a mousse as well this time!

    Great place, good selection of foods and drinks, something for all. Most of the wait staff were good.. a little bit non attentive at times.. but one staff member made ip for the others. Will re visit.
