What people say
We chose this rooftop bar specifically to watch the Australia Day fireworks, and it delivered an exceptional experience. The elevated views offered a perfect vantage point over the city, making the fireworks feel immersive and beautifully framed against the skyline. The atmosphere was elegant without feeling overcrowded. Service was polished and attentive, . An ideal rooftop destination for milestone celebrations and iconic nights like Australia Day, memorable, sophisticated, and absolutely worth it.
The bar is wonderful- atmospheric with a stunning view. But they don’t rest on their view- the snacks were amazing, and the cocktails are so tasty and pretty. The bartender, Mattia, went the extra mile to make sure I had a wonderful time. He was attentive, kind, and made a hell of a drink!
went for a nice sit down with friends for a catch up, beautiful view nice relaxing setting. the staff were very helpful and accommodating to our needs. would definitely recommend for a relaxing time with friends to have some drinks.
Booked a month in advance yet still didn’t get a window seat — it seems you may need to book at least three months ahead. We were seated far from the glass windows, which significantly impacted the experience. Given that the atmosphere itself is quite average, the view is really what elevates the overall experience. The food was mid and very average for a well-established five-star hotel, although it is undeniably Instagrammable. The tea itself was genuinely nice; however, despite being marketed as free-flow, each order took around 30 minutes to arrive. Overall, unless you’re able to secure a window table well in advance, I wouldn’t say the experience is worth it, as a guaranteed window seat is key to enjoying it.
Booked high tea ahead to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and requested a window table, yet we were seated on the elevated side even though couple of tables were free during our whole dining experience. Stunning views, but looking out seems like you are watching people on the window tables. The warm food and dessert plates were average, scones were alright. The cold sandwiches were not great ended up in the bin. Service was average. Underwhelming experience for the price paid.
