Got the wrong starter - Serrano Ham and Rocket Salad instead of Serrano Ham something else and was very glad of it. The salad was fabulous, not slimming but very tasty. Main course of Spatchcock was also superbly tasty. My partner's Lamb Tagine was also very nice. BYO too which is nice.

Excellent food and service. I'm not bowled over by the table settings or the sea view, unless you manage to score a booth. Very expensive and would only go back for special occasions.

So the furnishings are a little on the tired side. At least this restaurant has furnishings. That means you can talk to your party and even have a conversation. Lovely food and quite excellent service by Linda. Gosh darn it the Chef even opens the door and sees you off at the end of the meal. A very enjoyable night, excellent food and gracious and pleasant hosts. Hard to beat.

Obviously a very hip place to be seen but not heard. Very busy place but we got good service the night we went. Everything was ok except for the incredible noise. I do not think there are any furnishings to absorb the noise of people, the kitchens, the hard surfaces and the glass. In truth my ratings here may have been brought down by my memory of the awful cacophony. I don't think I can go back unless it looks empty. There are also too many tables jammed too close together.

My favourite place to eat, particularly outside for lunch on a sunny day. Lovely aspect over Narrabeen Lake. I can only vouch for the white fish meals or salmon which is always excellent. Very good, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff, unusual in Sydney. Fairly hefty markups on wine and I don't think the lesser whites are particularly good. Again I can't vouch for the reds as it's not really a red wine place. We will doubtless be back again and again.

A very pleasant restaurant with friendly staff. Have eaten here a few times and the food is a bit hit and miss. The menu is far too extensive, not unusual for an Indian I accept but then this is often the problem with Indian restaurants. We would go back but I really need to remember what I liked. My partner would like to express disappointment at the state of the toilets.

Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly efficient service. Menu is not expensive but that is often a good thing isn't it. We enjoyed it.

I love the old-fashioned style of this place. Great venue for families, very well run with brisk an efficient service. But - and this is the big but, when questioned, most of the meals have MSG in them. They are not marked on the menu so you have to ask. What a shame.
