My girlfriend and I visited here yesterday after doing the Spit bridge to Manly walk/run. 2 words...very disappointing. We are far from picky eaters and I have never felt the need to give a bad review before, however, this place really isn't up to scratch.

Ok the staff were nice and the location is good, that being said there are many places around Sydney that have nice harbour views. The downside, the food and the price. I have a feeling that these guys are working on the fact that they are located on the wharf and, therefore, mainly get the tourist traffic, you would be a very stupid local to go here more than once.

So, about the food. It was a warm day and for lunch we both didn't really feel like a roast pork knuckle, schnitzel or sausage (probably our first mistake going to a Bavarian Bier Cafe). That being said the Kitchen should be ashamed at what they churned out. I ordered the barramundi fillet and my girlfriend ordered the chicked, avocado and mango salad. The Barramundi Fillet is $33 and the Salad $20.

Prices don't really bother me much if it's enjoyable. What you get... A 5cm x 12cm very dry piece of cardboard flavoured fried fish on a handful of beans mixed with chopped tomato..to be honest I enjoyed the beans and tomato more..no they weren't amazing either. For the chicken avocado salad my girlfriend received four pieces of chicken 0.5cm thick by 4cm across (we didn't actually find any avocado) on a bed of rocket, which once again was pretty tasteless.

All in all you could go next door to Nandos and get a tastier meal and sit 3ft away and get the same view (Coming from a person who only eats take away as the last resort). Hindsight...should have just gone to the pub next door.
