I'm surprised there are no reviews on this place! Possibly the best dinner I have ever had, and in one of the loveliest, most tranquil locations, set in the middle of an open restaurant in the middle of the rainforest. We had a kookaburra join us for dinner!

Speaking of dinner, the food was divine, starting with tempura oysters which were complimentary, we had an entree of duck stuffed zucchini flower, which was delicious. We then got given rosewater sorbet as a palate cleanser between the entree and main, and for a main I had amazing kingfish with grilled watermelon, hamon, and pomegranate. We finished the night with a sheeps cheese platter, which was great.

The service was good, although we went on a Wednesday night and there were about 7 tables and only one waitress, so it was a bit slow. But that was Ok, it kind of fit the ambience and slow, relaxed feel of the place. A bit pricey, coming in at $170 for two, but Well worth it! Great for a romantic dinner, or special occasion, as there were mostly couples there.

This is possibly the best Thai I've had in Sydney! The food was delicious, and authentic, there were 6 of us, and we ordered the pad thai, nam khao tod, chicken larb, pork belly, tom yum, paw paw salad, and all three desserts, and there was not a grain of rice left, we polished off everything! Great value, good service, and very tasty food.

Delicious pizza, we had the Rocco, and the ingredients were fresh, simple, and tasty. You cannot go past the nutella calzone! It is amazing. The staff were friendly and attentive, and there is no corkage, which is a plus. Only downside is that it was rather noisy.

The food is delicious, the service good, the ambience probably below average, but it is good value for money so I can't complain! Will definitely be going back.

I think we had the same waitress as the last poster - we were dressed casually, went there for lunch, and she was rude and didn't pay much attention to us. However the restaurant is lovely - very cute and french. I loved the ambience. The food was delicious, we had the baguette, pork belly, and cheese platter, all of which were of a great standard. The only thing that let it down was the service.

Had dinner here while on holidays, didn't have any expectations, but was blown away by how great the tapas were, and the sangria! Delicious. The staff were very attentive, polite, and efficient. Slightly expensive, but tapas generally are, and this was definitely worth every cent.
