Came here with the ladies for high tea. What I like about this place is that the ceilings are so high and it seems to be quite spacious. In saying that, there weren't very many people to fill it when we had gone. I believe this is probably the best high tea I've had in terms of value. For $30 you get a tea or a coffee, the high tea tier and a glass of champers or a softdrink if you prefer to stay away from the alcohol.

The high tea includes a duck pie, smoked chicken sandwich, prawn on baguette. For the sweets you get a macaron, mini eclair, creme brulee and a very rich chocolate cake with cream on top. We loved the sandwiches so much, we had to buy more of them. Pretty good value for $30 if you ask me. This may be a shorter review compared to some of the other ones I've posted, but I think that it is simply good value for money. I'm already making arrangement to go back with my friends for the sandwiches.

Had a lovely girls day out at the Bayside one weekend, we had the (very cheap $29) high tea menu which surprisingly included a glass of bubbly as well as tea (most places usually charge more for the bubbly). Service was great, in terms of making the booking and follow up to the actual day; on the day service was a bit slow in taking our orders for drinks and the wait for the actual tiers were rather long.

The cakes were all made in-house which was a nice touch as most places usually cater from other places, so everything was fresh and specially made for us. There was a great selection, but the taste however I regret to say wasn't anything special to remember. The macaroons were too creamy and tasted rather bland, and the chocolate brownie cake was very dry - there was a lot of food leftover as after one bite some girls didn't like certain things. The place is great in terms of ambience, decor and views; other than that for $29 - well you get what you pay for I guess.

Amazing view of the harbour probably the best spot in the whole darling harbour. The place is stylish with a relaxed atmosphere. If you want to read a book with a coffee its definitely the place to go. The menu is not extensive but it offers a variety of choice. I had the wagu beef burger and it was the most amazing burger I've had and the caesar salad is definitely up there. The staff are friendly but they seem under staffed at times which may drag down the service. The price is fair for its location.

Had a wonderful lunch experience here last week. The menu was not very extensive but it was supplemented with some nice specials. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable and we both followed her advice and went for the tasting box which was excellent value and very tasty. I went for the Wagya beef special.

We will definitely come back for High Tea. We saw it served on the next table and looked like great value. Definitely recommended and we'll be back with friends. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Enjoyed a nice lunch here with friends last weekend. It was very busy, and could probably do with some extra staff (had to ask for drinks twice and get the menus myself), but the staff were friendly and polite. Once things were served, the food and wine was good. Dishes ordered were pumpkin, spinach and goats cheese salad, dips with crusty bread, grilled chicken sandwich. Overall, it had a good atmosphere and we all enjoyed a pleasant lunch.

This place is by far one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. My boyfriend made a reservation for a valentines day afternoon delights high tea. The place was not busy at all and there were quite a few empty tables yet we were both escorted to the table by the kitchen by the GM. We let it slide because we just didn't want to make a fuss. We order soda and OJ instead of the champagne yet they still charge us $7.00 for each glass. Talk about rip-off! To make matters worse, we weren't even offered a tea selection and we did not mention anything thinking they may not offer tea here but after reading their website, they boast about their tea selection. When the cake platter came out, we thought it may get better from here. But it got worse. Not only was open dry-cured salmon baguette not fresh, it was covered in dark spots. We told one of the waiters and she said she would get the manager. She never came back nor did we speak to the manager. Fed up, we asked for the bill and waited for 15 minutes before realising that they weren't coming back with that as well. We stood up and had to walk to the cashier to pay. Paid $60 for nothing. Whatever you do, stay away from this place in general. And what really gets me going is that there was so many waiters and hardly any customers so that should have allowed them to give better service.

The food was relatively tasty and the location is a great place to sit and people watch. I went for breakfast with a friend and the staff were very rude and spent more time talking between themselves than actually attending to our needs.

We had an excellent breakfast experience. The food was delicious, the prices low for the location, the view great, and the service perfect. We had espresso, the mushroom on brioche, and the spinach tart with egg (scrambled, instead of poached, at our request), all of which we would recommend. The servings are on the small side, so you may want to order extra items if you want a heavy breakfast.
