You can't beat the location (even on a rainy Sydney evening) - the Paella was delicious (and a bargain), the service pretty good. Desserts were scrumptious, I'd like to come back.

Fabulous location right on the water. Great service and tasty food. We had lunch here on a Saturday (2nd seating) and weren't rushed to leave. It was a perfect way to spend a gorgeous afternoon in Sydney.

Pretty average. The service is Terrible, you have to ask for everything, a drink, chase up ordered meals that haven't come, etc. There were a couple of broken glasses by a waitress. We got someone else's order and ate it. We then found out it wasn't our order. We had the banquet but the meat felt chewy. Hazelnut ice cream was pretty good (best part of the meal). Not sure if I would bother coming back.

I've eaten here a few times and I've always enjoyed my meal. Last time we had the $44 banquet dinner and it was filling and delicious. The dessert of chocolate mousse was a highlight.

I Nearly had dinner here 2 Saturday nights ago but the place was crazy busy. We had a table but 20 minutes later (yes, 20 minutes) we were still waiting for someone to take our order. I got up and went in search for a waitress, I found one and asked if she could take our order, she mumbled something (I think she was busy), turned her back and ignored me. I went back to my table and this is when we decided to leave, no one stopped us or apologised. I will Not be back, there are better Thai places in Cremorne with much better service, they ended up getting my money that evening.

I also thought Quay was average and overrated. The view is spectacular, let's not kid ourselves but the decor is rather bland and boring. Sea Pearls were beautiful I have to say and I enjoyed the quail but my snapper was disappointing to say the least. Bland, bland, bland. I could've had it this way in a fish and chips shop. The guava and custard apple snow egg was probably the highlight.

Finally, service could've been better, we were waiting for each course for ages. Presentation of each meal was pretty good though.

Nice location but the food was average especially all the fried items! Our waiter also spoke very little English and we couldn't understand any of his food announcements. He was very attentive though and quite friendly. Not sure if I'd be back.

I've had 2 brunches at Burnt Orange and I love the location. However, on my 2nd visit, the service was very slow. Only 1 waiter had access to my bookings and I had to wait for him to return to guide me to my booked table. Meanwhile, the line behind me was getting bigger and bigger and all other wait staff just ignored it! Food took a while to arrive and was lukewarm. I'm also not happy with the paid car park.

Handy location, attentive service and a delicious degustation menu make dining at Sepia a wonderful experience. It's now one of my favourite fine dining restaurants in Sydney.
