Quite disappointed in this one as they have some really good reviews.

All dishes were decent but overly salted. We tried nearly every cocktail on the menu and they just tasted not quite right, obviously it's preference but I don't feel like any of the cocktails suited the menu.

Also note that their menu prices does not include gst which was a bit shocking when we got the receipt. The prices are already very expensive, especially for some of the serving sizes. The shiso sorbet we had for dessert was horrible, but jasmine tea ice cream was a winner. Fries were the best out of everything we got so that's saying a lot.

Service was great and it's a nice moody place.

Won't be a return!

Was Coda worth the money?
Absolutely NOT. Service was pretty slow on getting the food out. Portions were rationed so small for the price you’re paying.

What we ordered:
Sesame Ginger Old Fashioned ($25)
Pandan Fig ($18)
Yuzu Iced Tea ($16)
Yuzu spritz ($25)

Oysters ($7) x 2 -  Love the dressing on this.
Queensland Scallop ($14) x 2 - It was okay.
King oyster mushroom skewers ($9) x 2 - This was pretty nice.
Beetroot, goats cheese ($9) x 2 - DONT get this.
Cheong fun ($27) - Best flavour out of everything thing.
Hiramasa Kingfish ($33) - Very sour toppings on the Kingfish.
Tea smoked duck breast ($27) - Expected more from this, but it was okay.
Hot & Numbing Crispy Eggplant ($32) - This was okay.
Javanese Curry ($38) - This was pretty nice.
Egg Fried Rice ($28) - Everyone got like 2 spoonfuls of fried rice for this price.
Wombok Salad ($15) - Very sour dressing.
Roti ($10) - 4 small pieces

Food was definitely hit or miss with more misses than hits. Not worth the money and not worth the time.

Never disappoints!  I love Coda.  I sat at the bar and enjoyed every mouthful.  Gemma, the sommelier, took care of my wine choices and they were wonderful, particularly the Beaujolais.

Food here is 10/10
Three entrees scallop, prawn betel leaves and liver parfait were perfection. Kingfish sashimi and duck breast amazing punchy flavour. My partner had pork cutlet with prawn fried rice also really nice.
Had spicy passionfruit margi was a nice change from classic.
Wine was pretty expensive would be my only criticism affordable by the glass but not by the bottle!

Coda is a beautiful place for a nice meal. We enjoyed the ambience and food, but the service left a little to be desired. For the price you can definitely do better, but it was a nice experience.
