I took my husband here for his birthday lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and attentive and the view is great.

We had an entree of steak and chorizo skewers which were so yummy! We both had ribs for mains tho mine were a little dry but my husband's were fine. It is pricey but you're paying for location, ambience and service. Nice place to take family from out of town if you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I and my boyfriend went there for dinner last night. The food is great. Wonderful service. Delicious dipping platter for entree. The lobster cooked perfectly. The fish was seasoned to perfection. Caesar salad was exquisite and the cocktail was just right. I can say it's the best cocktail in Sydney from my opinion.

You expect from a place with Nick's reputation, especially for the price you pay. My experience was not good. We had to ask 5 times for them to bring us water (sparkling water that we were paying for). They talked us into starters we didn't want and then didn't eat. They didn't ask which sides we wanted that came with the meal, they just assumed (incorrectly). Mine was a vegan meal that was supposed to be a mushroom risotto but ended up being a very tasteless vegetable stack. Apparently the prawns were good though. Service - shocking!

Dined here 2 Sunday's ago & experienced the $25 all you can eat meal offer. The sunset views were spectacular & you get what you pay for, a selection of meats, seafood and of course chips to fill you up. For $25 I am not expecting the finest meats in Sydney, I thought the food was good for what I paid. Wine list was pretty good, something to suit everyone's budget, service was just as good the waiters can ditch the sunglasses on top of their heads though once they are working inside.

I have been here several times for the all you can eat for only $25 per person.. it's the best value, ambience and location! Yes some of the items in the all you can eat variety aren't the best, but for $25 to get tasty ribs (yes similar to Hurricanes style) and mussels and some grilled meat, you really can't complain. The tartare sauce they make is to Die for! No they don't provide salads or green sides within the $25 but come on guys, it's great value and I highly recommend it for a nice Sunday early dinner to enjoy the views and the tasty food for such a low price! Will be back again!

The only saving grace is the view. Frozen seafood, frozen meat, no attention to detail. It's embarrassing that they manage to snare so many tourists, hopefully they get to try some good australian seafood somewhere else.

Was hesitant to try after seeing the low ratings on this site, but decided to try the all-you-can-eat $25 offer (available on Sunday and Monday nights), thinking it was a bargain. The plates are brought out to you, and the first thing you notice is there are a lot of chips. The plates they bring out are: meat platter (steak, chorizo, lamb skewer, chicken, 2 pork ribs, and chips), seafood plate (battered fish, 2 prawn butlets, a few calamari rings, and chips), half rack of pork ribs, and mussels (approx 10 mussels in white or red sauce).

The lamb skewer was delicious but you cannot order as many as you want, as they only bring out the meat platter as a whole. Chorizo was nice although some of the ones we had were too salty to consume. Steak was disgusting, it was bland and thin. Looked like what you would see at a cheap sausage sizzle. Chicken and ribs were lacking in flavour. Seafood and mussels were okay, nothing special. I left this place with still room to spare in my stomach (at an all-you-can-eat!) since I just didn't want to eat anything else.

I am hoping that the a la carte menu is better, but will not return to try. For a seemingly high quality restaurant I am surprised they are not ashamed of the food they are serving.

Good place great location, I took some work colleagues and order seafood platters for two, 17 in total. All the food was fresh the wine flowed freely in all a great time. Well worth going.

Dined here recently, the food is fantastic, really tasty and it left you wanting more! Great place to unwind especially during the week, they could replace the chairs though, they were not comfortable at all, overall a good experience, we will be back.

We had a family lunch here recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. When you have 7 people aged between 16 and 78 its hard to please everyone. We had 2 seafood platters, the risotto, marinara, salads, bread and dessert. The cocktails were very nice especially the Bondi Kiss. Service was good, and the view spectacular. Mum was asking when are we going back.
