Good location and nice alfresco and reno's. Falls down with inconsistent food. Some dishes are average, some poor and some ok. None are very good to exceptional. Problems here are very fixable.

Slipped into Subidoo to a near deserted restaurant on Wednesday night looking forward to a hearty meal. Perhaps the lack of patrons should have given me the hint!... Ordered cheese stuffed bread balls, spicy meat balls and fish tacos for entree. They were all delish and well executed. The fish taco was awash with coriander and the crumbed fish inside was crunchy and super tasty. Meatballs were lovely. The bread balls stuffed with cheese were chewy and moorish. Mains was scotch fillet medium rare, beef rendang and Cajun spiced beef ribs. Sadly these were all very average. The scotch was more rare than medium, the rendang was nice but forgettable and the ribs were the strangest collection of Cajun spices I have ever had. Unfortunately Subidoo really doesn't know what it wants to be. The menu says it is South American inspired and yet it is more Asian than anything else. The decor is a clash of London train station public toilet with urban architectural loft apartment. Nothing seems to makes sense. This place has the potential to be awesome but doesn't seem to deliver. Sad : C+ WILL TRY AGAIN ... Maybe...

I visited Subidoo for a function and felt the staff were very helpful and friendly towards families with young children. Even though they may not look like a kid-friendly place they did have kid menu options that my 7, 5 3 year old enjoyed. The chips were especially crunchy and delicious!! The food came out nice and hot, and well presented. We had the fish tacos, tapas plate and meatballs. The drinks menu includes spirits, beers, wines and etc, which makes it a great dining experience. The servings were a good size for the numbers on the table and they had vegetarian options for our friends, which was very thoughtful as some restaurants are often unprepared with minimal veg options. It was an experience to see the chefs in the kitchen at work, but it was a bit concerning to notice they were without hats or gloves! I'm sure all commercial kitchens, who knows what goes on behind walls, but if you have an open kitchen they must be so careful about how they present themselves! It's really just a pet peeve... overall I think they have made it into a well run establishment after previous owners couldn't revive it from the Oriels days..
