I have to say that this is one of the worst restaurant experiences for me. The food was deplorable and the service was rude. The waiters were fighting with the maitre d'. It is a beautiful spot in a lovely building and when I walked in, I was in the mood for a lovely evening. Eat somewhere else

Went to Banjo's on saturday night and must say I wasn't satisfied. I have visited many times before and it has been great. I will be back with hope! I assume it was a bad night for the team there. Sorry guys.

A lovely place for a special dinner. I enjoyed a weekend dinner here with friends and we left feeling very happy and most satisfied. First honourable mention goes to the staff. Lesley did a wonderful job of making us feel right at home. Her friendly, smiley personality and attentive, considerate, discreet service makes my rating a 10.

Second honourable mention goes to the food. Our table sampled pretty much everything on the mains menu between us, and although the portions were generous, we still managed to pretty much polish off the lot! (I was a dishonourable mention here, the chicken and leek pie with truffle mash is HUGE.)

Now to dessert. The mango and Grand Marnier souffle was a little tart (no pun intended) for my taste, but was complemented beautifully by a passionfruit gelato and was cushiony-soft. It was just divine to sink my spoon into.

No, this isn't the cheapest feed around town, however, when you take the location and wonderful service into consideration, Banjo Paterson's makes a great location for a treat. I liked the poetic touches too, Mulga Bill is a favourite from way back!

Always a pleasant experience. Long-established staff always make you feel welcome. Food is always freshly prepared, perhaps, a tad expensive. Good wine list. The views, esp during daylight hours, are to die for.

Been here a few times for business lunches and very pleasant. Beautiful old building and another lovely spot for special visitors. Food pretty good but nothing outstanding about it. Just pleasant modern Australian cuisine.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the service. Marc Bonnanni should be really recognised for his accomplishments in the kitchen. He would be up there with the Best of the Chefs. The flavours and textures of the food were beyond what I have eaten in any of the fine dinning restaurants.

Had a great birthday dinner - just the two of us. This was my second visit here with the first being about 5 years ago and we'll definitely go back. It's a great location and in addition to the usual river views we had a free light show from the tailend of a summer storm to top it off .

The food was delicious - soup & risotto for entree and the kangaroo and lamb for mains. Couldn't fault any of it and the sides were perfect too. I note some others have commented on the noise; I found it no issue and it was possible to have a quiet, personal conversation on one table while larger groups were obviously enjoying themselves on other tables.

And yes, the comedian waiter was in fine form with the one-liners rolling out all night. He's harmless and good fun. Dinner and a show!

Highly recommended.

Our group of 4 enjoyed a truly beautiful meal in a beautiful setting for lunch. Service was friendly and helpful and we were warmly welcomed. There was a small wedding taking place in the garden .. I wish I was having a wedding so I could have it at the cottage .. excellent

Wonderful view over the Parramatta River from a beautiful sandstone cottage. It was a little noisy, which surprised me as I had expected the sandstone to absorb a lot of sound, but it was not unbearable. The service was excellent, apart from a few periods when it was hard to find someone. The food was tasty and cooked as per each request. This is not a cheap place but is a nice venue for a special night out.

My favourite restaurant in Sydney. This is an absolutely beautiful restaurant situated in a gorgeous building overlooking the water. Nice and cosy inside too.

The staff are impeccable, very professional and knowledgeable. They are there when you need them but know when to give you time and space.

The food is delicious and extremely fresh. Nothing is too much hassle either. As my mother doesn't eat chocolate they quite happily made her up a non-chocolate souffle, even though it wasn't on the menu. Mind you, for the chocoholics out there the chocolate souffle is the way to go for dessert!

A very special and wonderful restaurant!!
