    A group of us flew in from Adelaide to celebrate my 40th birthday at this restaurant, so I really wanted it to be good. It was everything that I could have hoped for. A stunning view, wonderful food and friendly service. The staff were helpful from the moment I rang to book. The combination of flavours in the food was perfect. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant, especially for out of towners

    Fantastic view, although small portions the food is amazing. Excellent service, wine a little overpriced as was the food but I'm not complaining. The overall night was certainly worth it.

    Fantastic food. Probably the best meal I've eaten in Sydney (and we have eaten in all the top places). Service was fantastic, friendly, attentive and the staff all gave very honest opinions about the dishes when asked before we ordered. They even gave us a free dessert as we all wondered about it but nobody actually ordered it! Highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. It's Sydney's best kept secret so don't tell too many people!

    We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and everything was perfect. We asked for a table in a quiet corner with a sea view and nothing was too much effort for the staff. Service was tops and staffs were attentive without being intrusive. Wine and water glasses were always discreetly filled without interrupting conversation. Wine selection was well balanced between good value wines and higher priced labels. Food was superb and well presented. Overall a really great night out and the memories linger. We are going back for the next birthday soon.

    This place never disappoints - fantastic view & great food. A perfect place to take interstate or overseas vistors or even just to go yourself. Value is good considering the quality of the food and the quality of the view. We recently had a group of 30 there for dinner most of whom were from out of town and they were just blown away by it all!

    Inventive menu, with helpful. attentive and professional service. Lamb shank pie is extraordinary. Great views, but this is one restaurant where the food quality actually matches the quality of the views. Good wine list. We'll certainly look forward to our next visit.

    I went here for my husband's 50th (he came too). My sirloin was crap full of gristle and chewy, his wagyu beef was lovely and tender. The staff were friendly, though at times I felt I was out for dinner with them, there's a fine line between good service and annoying service. Pretty ordinary.

    A disappointing dinner for the cost and not very good service - we won't be back. The best aspect is the view. Pity
