We visited Xage on a Monday night as it was my daughters birthday and it was bustling with customers. My son in law is a chef and he picked our courses to share and try. The food was modern , interesting and really fresh and delicious. The waiters were very efficient and helpful. I have eaten at quite a few... More

We have eaten here twice now and really enjoyed it You can only book if its an early sitting. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu offers a good choice Portions could be a bit larger Only real downside is the noise level.

We visited Xage for dinner one Friday night having been recommended the place by a colleague at work. It is located in the 'strip' of fashionable bars and restaurants in the heart of Surry Hills on Crown Street. The place is relatively small with cosy tables squashed close together.

A warning though: come early as this restaurant gets very busy. We'll be back next time we're... More

However, one of our meals took 40 minutes to arrive and this was after the rest of the meals were almost finished! The waiters were hurrying us out the door despite the fact that my boyfriend hadn't finished his food which... More

I can love this place however it can be hit and miss. BYO means the value is there The whole waiting thing can be a little overbearing

Xage came recommended so I tried it last week. The seating was cramped and the staff seemed inexperienced with poor communication skills, but the food was excellent and generous which made up for the negatives.
