8/10Great spot and excellent food, a bit expensive, could be more atmosphere inside , say asome nce music. It was our 35th wedding anniversary - no acknowledgement or a little gift, say a glass of wine or just jasmine tea.

8/10My husband and I dined here while in Sydney. The menu had many items from which to choose. Food was served too quickly. The tap water was vile. The portion of Toothfish wasn’t enough for my husband. We sat outside which was very nice - not too chilly in the evening.

8/10Very goof food in a nicely presented and clean restaurant but quite noisy and if seated at the inside tables there is no view. You therefore pay top price without the advantages.
