Peaceful place, with incredible steak sandwich and smoothies. Good pics to collect hidden secrets of Sydney. It is a be or not to be place 😅

Was expecting a great lunch. Oysters were that small you couldn’t see them, mornay sauce was tasteless. My husband ordered surf and turf, steak was not cooked rare, informed waitress and she returned with the steak and said the chef said it was fine, put the plate down and kept walking. Never even offered to cook again I only had bread and olives with balsamic and oil. Had to return bread as it wasn’t warm. Asked for some butter as well and was charged $2.50 Sweets were below average for a crème brûlée The only positive was the view. Never will return Very disappointed

Amazing location with waterviews. Seafood was fresh and service was great but unfortunately the pastas was average and it was on the pricy side. The zucchini flower was not stuff with ricotta cheese but with stretchy mozzarella? If you like it traditionally made then this is not it. The affogato with vanilla bean ice cream minus the alcohol was the highlight 👌

Stunning views and delicious food! This restaurant offers the perfect atmosphere for a meal with a view. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it’s a sunset or city lights, the view adds an extra touch to the experience. Highly recommend for a special night out

When we walked in, there was no staff upfront, but after a minute, a staff member (Judy? Judas?) came out from the kitchen, and we could see they were busy but still with a smile face. The staff was very nice and patient. She explained the menu to us. One more thing: my clothes were torn at the chest, and she asked if there was anything she could do to help. That was very thoughtful. The starter and entrée arrived quickly, but we ate them slowly. The main course came after we finished the entrée. We weren't in a rush and enjoyed the excellent service and the lovely view of the restaurant. The staff did a great job looking after the customers, and we appreciate their patience since we ate quite slowly. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. The wasabi oysters were incredible! The lamb shoulder was larger than expected and really tasty! I will definitely bring the family next time.
