The location for this restaurant cannot be bettered, and the food we were served at lunch was outstanding. I am so pleased I was somebody’s guest – his bill made my eyes water.

I suspect that I am going to be in the minority on this one, but I don't think that the views are worth the price of the food. (If you've never been to Circular Quay, the views are fabulous from practically anyplace along the horseshoe!!) Perhaps the servings are huge in an attempt to justify the prices; but such portions...

From food, service to scenery of the bridge @ your table - this restaurant has it all! The food was perfect and the waiters are very knowledgeable! A must while in Sydney!

This was a perfect place to have tea. I absolutely loved it. The service was amazing and very friendly. The price was a little pricey but the food was tip notch and so was well priced!! I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone and will be back to eat there whenever I am back in Sydney!!

Had a lunch on a wonderful sunny day. The location of the restaurant could not be better, spectacular views straight to the gorgeous Sydney Opera House. We had a wine, oysters and fish and chips and everything was extremely fresh and delicious. This restaurant is a bit pricy, however for the location and quality of the food the bill worth... More

Stopped on spec for a late lunch on a rainy day. Monster cruise liner restricted the view. Delicious asian fusion sea bass and a glass of wine.

Went for a birthday dinner before a show at the Sydney Opera House (Opera House is about 10 minutes walk from restaurant). This is a lovely, lovely restaurant. We ordered a seafood platter and it was so fresh and mouth-wateringly good. Bottle of Moet was good also :) We were seated at the window overlooking the harbour. Service was outstanding... More

A very disappointing experience! My husband and I were looking forward to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary on Wednesday, so we decided to book a table at your restaurant. We considered your restaurants to be the “seafood restaurant” of Australia, especially after our visits at your Watson’s Bay and fish market restaurants. We were really excited to experience a dinner... More

Second visit .... great view but the food isn't as good as taking the boat ride to the beach! Service still a bit sniffy towards tourists.

We went on 20th April with vouchers I had bought for ourselves and as a present for friends. Expected to be treated like 2nd class citizens, but pleasantly surprised! Seated at a table with great views, service very friendly, food great. Will return again.
