This was a pretty good dinner. Cozy ambience and the service was really good too. For mains, we got the salmon dish and gnocchi which were both fab. We shared the scallops for entree and requested 4 pieces so we could each have 2. The chef fulfilled this request and we didn’t get charged for it which I thought was quite nice of them. The fresh oysters were very underwhelming and the let down of an otherwise great dinner.

Stopped in on the way back to Canberra from Sydney.Super lovely venue and staff were really attentive. The food was divine. We had the house baked bread, pan seared scallops, steak tartare for entree. Followed it up with the duck a l'orange and lamb rump for mains and parish mash on the side. Left completely satiated and deliriously happy with our choice! will be back!!

If I could give more stars I would! Amazing service and amazing food. Well done to the team and especially Grace our waitress for the night. The food was next level, seasoned to perfection, great servings and well worth the price.Cocktails and mocktails were also delicious. It even snowed!!The restaurant itself was stunning, we felt at home, next time we are in Bowral we will definitely book to stay here.

Unforgivable Service at Berida Hotel and Bistro Sociale, BowralMy recent experience at Berida Hotel and its restaurant, Bistro Sociale, in Bowral, New South Wales, was a disaster. What was meant to be a joyful Mother's Day celebration with my stepson and partner turned into a nightmare due to the inexcusable behavior of the hotel's management.On arrival, we were charmed by the inviting ambiance of the fireplace, a warmth that would soon be completely overshadowed by the hotel's service. Our first indication of the impending disappointment came when we tried to book a table at Bistro Sociale. Despite being hotel guests, we were astonishingly informed that no tables were available - a flagrant disregard for hospitality norms. Their suggested alternative was a table at the whiskey bar, an utterly inappropriate suggestion given the presence of our 10-year-old stepson.The hotel's manager, whose name I withhold, showed an appalling lack of customer service skills. Despite seeing several unoccupied tables for over three hours, he stubbornly insisted none were available.In an appalling escalation, we were unjustly accused of causing a disturbance and asked to leave the hotel. This, while we were quietly conversing amongst ourselves in Portuguese, and had not interacted with the staff since our failed attempt to book a table. His threat to call the police on us, a family with a young child, was a gross overreaction and a testament to his lack of managerial aptitude.Upon revealing our association with law firms, his tone suddenly shifted. He then hastily offered a free night at the hotel, a pathetic attempt to pacify us. My partner gracefully declined, stating our willingness to pay and point out that we do not need any kind of charity.While the food at Bistro Sociale was indeed delectable, it was nowhere near enough to make up for the atrocious service and overall dreadful experience. The unprofessional management and dreadful customer service were shocking and utterly unacceptable.To sum up, Berida Hotel and Bistro Sociale massively failed to deliver on the promise of a pleasant stay. The management should be ashamed of their abysmal customer service. A hotel of this supposed caliber should focus on providing an exceptional experience for its guests, rather than ruining special occasions with their disgraceful behavior.

A very tasteful spot for cocktails and much more. Bistro Sociale is set on a gorgeous hotel property, just outside of Bowral township. It’s warming ambience matches it’s offerings perfectly and the friendly staff lift this venue to its owed glory.

Pretty good here, 3.4 out of 5. Pleasant enough decor. Antipasto was nice but watch the peppers as they are mighty hot. The home made bread is good. My oysters were lovely and my duck ok albeit a little over cooked with little pink evident. Service was pleasant enough throughout. This restaurant is a reasonable enough option in the area.

Dinner over the weekend @BistroWe started the meal with delicious duck liver parfait & ocean trout.Mains were duck à ľorange and Wagyu steak, both were on point. The desserts were sensational, we had the smoothest crème Brûlée & Burnt Basque Cheesecake with a spectacular sorbet!Dinner was paired with various gins - Archie Rose Sunrise Lime Gin, Applewood Davidson Plum Gin, Copenhagen Orange Gin, Patient Wolf Dry Gin & Forty Spotted Pinot Noir Gin.
