Other published opinions
Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2008 Score: 13.5/20 "This relaxed CBD bistro is an impressive solution to the old 'all things to all people' dilemma. Host and sommelier Stuart Knox knows his drops, while much of the extensive, honest, Italian-leaning menu comes in three sizes - tasting, entree and main - so you can share or graze to suit your mood"
Sydney Morning Herald Simon Thomsen, 3-7-2007 Score: 13.5/20 "A clever and flexible inner-city bistro serving interesting wines and good Italian dishes to share. Value Great. Chef Kristin McGuirk. Owner Stuart Knox. Service Attentive. Food Mod Med. Wine Interesting, affordable and entertaining global list; 28 by the glass. Vegetarians Not much - three dishes. Child Only if they're working late, too. Noise Reasonable. Wheelchair access Yes. Prices Taste, $8-$15; entrees, $14-$25; mains, $25-$33; dessert, $6-$11; All cards."
Sydney Morning Herald Simon Thomsen, 1-5-2007 Score: 13.5/20 "You'll be hard-pressed to snare a table by day but my two evening visits suggest Fix St. James remains undiscovered after dark. You're missing out on simple bistro-style Italian dishes that, while not always perfect, show plenty of promise. Chef Kristin McGuirk has the wisdom to balance her restless creativity (about half the 17-dish savoury menu changes every fortnight) with an Italian eye for simplicity and good produce that's true to its origins."
