The rudest service I have ever experienced. Arrived here on Sunday morning on the recommendation of a friend. A delightful spot right on middle harbour. There were a number of tables free so we seated ourselves and waited for menus. The waitress looked very busy and rushed past us a number of times. After about ten minutes another waiter then swung around and asked us rudely if we had just walked in, said that there were no tables available other than outside.

There were no reserved signs, no 'wait to be seated' sign and they had effectively watched us sit there for the past ten minutes, very rude and dismissive. No comment on the food as we left at this point, will not return.

We came here for a few drinks after work and took advantage of the jug of prawn special - prawns and 2 drinks for $24, great value. Sitting outside was just fabulous taking in the view of the harbour. Service was pretty average, seemed short staffed. Would definitely recommend for a few quiet drinks with friends.

Nice setting and entrees (pork buns, spring rolls and dim sum) were tasty. We ordered four very different mains and they all tasted pretty much the same. The service was attentive but not overly effective.

We love this place, the menu is extensive and has just been extended. It can be pretty noisy and maybe not suitable for a romantic meal but the food is always tasty, portions generous and the service is efficient.

A really enjoyable night out - book the cushion room for extra ambience and of course the belly dancer. To start we ordered hommus, babaganoush, tabouli etc to share and there was ample between us plus a never ending supply of pita bread. The garlic chicken main was splendid and the other mains were all well received.

Came here on a Saturday night with a group of friends (6). Ordered the tapas banquet, $35/head including corkage. Quantity of food was good, but the service put me off my meal. The senior staff was verging on aggressive and some of the dishes were nearly inedible, others were ok. I would suggest choosing your own tapas dishes and not going with the banquet option. Also avoid the senior staff!

Certainly the worst Thai meal I have ever had....picture raw BBQ pork scewers, cold dry dumplings, and a service team that could barely speak a word of English. Nine of us dined and due to the shocking quallity of food, three dishes were refunded and could not be eaten.
