This has to be one of the best hotel-based restaurants in Sydney. The food is tasty and unpretentious, and the waitstaff hospitable and efficient. My wife and I will continue to be regulars.

We go to the Restaurant in this hotel twice a month. Always find the staff friendly and helpful, however, what has happen to the food.

The food quality for a four star hotel is shocking, steaks over cooked and average food. The food did not used to be like this. Apparently a staff member told me the chef is the new Manager, I think he should stay in the kitchen and fix up how the food used to be. I think we will stay away until they fix there problems.

Feb 2009 - we have been back twice since our initial visit. I think there is new management. There is definitely a new chef. They have done a great job in improving the food and their regular entertainment will get us back.

Service - the 2nd time was excellent when we went to one of their shows (which was a lot of fun) but last night was a shambles. We had to wait a long time to order. Orders were being taken to the wrong tables. We ended up going to the bar for our drink order as we had nearly finished the meal.

Food - the chef is great. We really enjoyed all our food and despite our last service experience we'll come back. I had stuffed artichokes and a goat's cheese pudding. My partner had prawn ravioli and chicken with a lime butter. We loved everything.

Aug 2008 - Basic food. The decor is better than the food. We were a little disappointed. The service was friendly enough however. I think they are more suited to hotel guests and buffet breakfasts.

Found this cafe in this web site, has to be the best steak sandwiches in Sydney, and the steak melt in the mouth, not enough room for dessert. The service was outstanding could not ask for more. Will return when next in Sydney and stay at the Cambridge Inn. Would recommend to any one.

The food! Beautiful & great value. Try the duck quesadilla - delicious! Get the entree size where possible, it's plenty. Staff are lovely, talkative & attentive. If you like hustle & bustle, it's not for you. 212 is quiet, considering it's a short walk to Oxford Street. Parking may be a challenge if you're driving. It's attached to the Cambridge Park Inn so it doubles as a breakfast restaurant - hence the setting up as we left. The decor is fresh & funky but subdued. We really enjoyed it!

We stayed at the Cambridge Park Inn and breakfast was included. I had 20 girls dine here and we will all be back. The food was great and value for money. A must to experience.

We popped in for a quick snack and stayed for dinner! This is a smart cafe/restaurant with great and friendly staff. The food was fresh and very well presented and excellent value for money and did I mention the staff? Helpful, knowledgeable and very welcoming. We'll be back!
