It was my second visit, and both times the service has been incredible. Lovely server and delicious food. I have unusual food restrictions which makes eating at more specialised/limited menu places a bit tricky, but I know my wheat free friends really appreciated having a range of gluten free desserts available. Thanks.

A local hidden gem! I visited Bistro Ordain with my partner and family over the weekend for my mum's birthday and we loved the experience :) The ambience was cosy and intimate with excellent service to match. Great wine list and cocktails (mum loved her Bloody Mary!) The dishes were thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented by the Head Chef/Owner, Dylan who came out of the kitchen and introduced himself after our meal which was a lovely touch. We loved everything we tried (and we tried a lot!) especially the oysters cooked over the hibachi grill with sherry (which Dylan was kind enough to share the recipe with my Dad who is an oyster connoisseur!) Our only regret was not saving room for dessert... we will have to return soon! Thank you again for having us for such a memorable lunch Bistro Ordain :)

The menu is an experience for the senses. The flavours and smells take you on a dopamine journey. Hands down, the best food I've had in a long long time! You can really appreciate the passion that goes into the food. This place is exactly what seaford was missing. Great drinks menu too, supporting lots of local suppliers. This place is a fantastic representation of the amazing ingredients and drinks available on the peninsula. I couldn't recommend the place more!

I ordered the Hibachi selection entree and although the flavour of the pork cheek was nice, it was 80% just fat which seemed odd. The fried cheese was nice but when it was suggested we order bread to go with it, we didn't expect an extra $16 to be added to the bill for one piece of bread (as nice as it was)! The dory fish dish was delicious though and my friend enjoyed the calamari.

Considering its only been open a week. I thought they did amazingly well. The food was exquisite, the seats were comfy, ambience was comfortable. Some of the staff may need a better understanding of the menu. Seaford is just going to be so much better with Ordain around. We'll be back!
