Drinks and service were excellent and well priced. Bar food was ridiculous, ordered a cheese plate which promised lavosh but instead were given bread sticks?! You try getting your cheese to sty on a bit of bread stick, is impossible, nice place for drinks wouldn't do bar food again! Was annoying as at $28 was not cheap.

Went here for New Years after a bad bar service in October 2007 when they were not even busy. Had to queue for 45 minutes after paying $80 to get in, no free glass of sparkling as stated on their website and unorganised staff with no onsite management. No reply to email sent advising them of issues that arised on the night luckily we were with a good group of friends otherwise our NYE would have been truly ruined! Not sure if I will give this place a 3rd try.

The worst bar tenders I have ever come across, they just have no idea especially since we were there during the busy christmas party period. Drinks were ok and the location is perfect.

We had our work Christmas lunch last Friday at Cruise Restaurant and the service was appalling. The wait staff had to be told to refresh peoples wine glasses, we had to ask for our water glasses to be refilled and for our dirty entree plates to be removed. It took an hour for our main meals to be served and of the several steaks ordered, not one was cooked to order. I sent my steak back and it took another 30 minutes for them to cook a medium rare steak! Of course by this time all my companions had finished my meal and we were not offered one word of apology.

Had lunch on a Sunday at midday. One barman and 1 floor/food/barista. Expect to wait behind 4-6 people when ordering drinks at the bar. Lunch, ordered Caesar salad with king prawns for $20. The Caesar dressing was bland with the consistency of skim milk, 1 boiled egg cut in half and 3 prawns.

The surprise was two small pieces of plastic that was also tossed through this salad, more like a bowl of lettuce than a salad. The waiter was fantastic with his response to the complaint, and a round of drinks was offered to our table. Go for the drinks, the friendly staff and the location, eat before you go there.

Visited this bar several times over a long weekend in Sydney. Cheerful, efficient and friendly staff. Wine was good and reasonably priced. Would recommend this either during the day or evening for a relaxing time.

Went for lunch on a Wednesday, got there right on 12 noon and the place was pretty quiet so could not understand why it took 45 minutes to get a plate of fish and chips and a steak sandwich! The fish was terrible, drenched in oil and burnt to a crisp in some parts. The chips were ok and the salad was not even dressed. My husband's steak sandwich was as tough as a leather shoe and full of fat.

The only positive thing there is the view and there was plenty of space. The girl behind the bar did give my husband a free beer (good customer service), but it did not make up for the terrible food which was twenty bucks a plate. If it's the view you are after, go grab some Maccas and sit on a park bench next to Cruise bar...you will get a better meal and save some bucks too!!! Won't be going back.
