Out of all the places I have visited for dinner, there is one that pops into my mind very easily. The Jet in Queen Victoria Building is quite easy to remember, even though I have been to this place only once in the last year. I arrived with a friend for dinner and we were offered a very small table. Closer to the other tables than would be appropriate for any comfort or privacy, as we could very easily hear the conversations from the surrounding tables and I can safely assume that in the same way, our conversation was far from private.
Soon after being disappointed with the accommodation, the waiter arrived to take our order, but he suddenly disappeared half the way without completing his job. It took quite a while for him to come back and as I was not expecting this kind of behavior, I did not time the event. Finally we manage to get his attention back, and order a couple of plates of pizza, a bottle of coke and a mineral water (These arrived in the smallest bottles I have seen in my life, suitable for some sort of satire or black comedy rather than to quench someone's thirst) and I set the stopwatch to see what the delay would be in the pizza.
Having quite a few Italian friends, I have had numerous outings to pizza restaurants in the many Italian places in Sydney, so I expected no more than fifteen minutes. Instead, we had to wait over thirty five minutes for the pizzas to arrive and although they were not bad, there was nothing spectacular about them. After all, when you are paying for dinner, you expect better than "not bad".
You could say that all this is enough for me to never go back to such a place, and hopefully there would be no more disappointments in what could have been otherwise a pleasurable experience, however, luck was definitely not on our side that night. Half the way through having our pizza (That lack any excitement and had minimal flavor), a waitress approached our table and asked us if we could move to another table. I know, at this point in time you must be thinking I have some sort of grouch against the place.
Truth be told, until I visited The Jet, I did not. But now, I think it could be possible. Nevertheless, as incredible as this will sound we did pay the b

The last time I was there for breakfast with two friends and could not attract the staffs attention to get menus and had to go to the counter to get their attention, even though they saw us come in. Then when we did, they never came back to get the order so we left, and they watched us walk out. They were not busy so there was no excuse. My friends and I then walked thru QVB to the cafe in the middle of the ground floor and got fast pleasant service and the meals we ordered were considerably cheaper than than Jet. I've had a few bad experiences here and would not choose it myself but have met friends there as it is in a central location to meet. After looking at the other reviews I have to agree, the waiters are rude and the service is slow. It's a real shame as it looks like a really nice Euro style cafe.

Service is slow, food is ok, music is terrible, waiters are rude, most of the times you see them standing and talking instead of serving the customers. Although the coffee is nice there.

Without doubt the worst breakfast I have ever eaten in Sydney. Had the vegetarian breakfast, the eggs were apparently poached but the chef must have been hungover the day eggs were taught at school. They were two dried out lumps of plaster. Spinach wasn't cooked, and how do you make 2 mushrooms taste that bad? Also did you know a cooked tomato actually requires it to stay on the hot plate longer than 3-5 secs.
There is no way in the world I even would have payed for it except I didn't want to make a scene with my co-workers present.
