We just came for desserts and we definitely weren't disappointed. The service was excellent and the Christmas-themed desserts were sensational. Every ingredient and texture perfectly balanced and you could tell that a lot of care and thought went into both the design and execution of the dish. A wonderful experience and definitely would recommend C/P.
This is a fabulous restaurant. The food is upmarket and flavoursome. The presentation is artwork. It is in the higher cost bracket but for a special occasion it is worth the trip. Bookings are essential and there is off street free parking. The staff are professional and attentive. The atmosphere is enhanced by the clever separation of tables making it feel private and easy to converse.
We had the most amazing dinner at Cataract on Paterson! Iโm not normally one to write reviews but I had to share just how amazing the service and atmosphere was. The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable, especially our host Alex who was so lovely and made our night extra special. The food is exceptional and we will definitely be back next time weโre in town!
My experience in Cataract on Paterson was incredible. First, the oysters were the most fat and juicy ones I had ever eaten. The lemon is also very sour and I didnโt know that until I squeezed too much๐ซ ๐ซ ๐ซ . The steak was very nice as it was cooked perfectly medium rare, with a tender and juicy inside with a crispy outside. Yet the medium well one was slightly negative as it was a little bit chewy and wasnโt as nice. The linguini is also recommended as it has aa little sour taste topped with juicy prawns. Just a perfect match. The waiter was very nice and kept refilling the water without us asking her. What a great start to my trip.(I went here on 29th July 2025, so the prices might change a little bit)
Great food. Great vibe. We did wait 45mins for our food but we were warned beforehand and it was worth it in the end. Wife ordered the scallops hot stone dish and I ordered the scotch fillet. Steak was cooked to medium and was super tasty and tender. Scallops tasted fresh, sweet and juicy.
