Really great cupcakes, buttery with lots of frosting, just the way I like it! The cake on its own would have been at least a 9 but the ice tea I bought with it was presented beautifully but was spoiled by the fact that it was drastically overbrewed. The garden out the back was a calming contrast to loud, congested Oxford St. The biggest problem was the service, which was indifferent bordering on rude. I think this could have been improved by having at least one other staff member on.

The guy who served me had a good sense of humour and undercharged me for my drink, the advantages of being female. The band on the top level was fantastic and the music on the cocktail floor wasn't too loud so its possible to have a chat without having to yell as though you're at a football match. Its a pub with a good vibe and all the other bars I went to that night just didn't compare. Hope to return soon!

The cocktail I had here was amazing, the strawberries and cream is a must try. As for the atmosphere, if I was single it would have been pretty drab, lots of men and women old enough to be my parents getting trashed and dancing to trashy music but maybe I went on the wrong night (friday). I would go back if only for another strawberries and cream.

Okay food. The ambience is what you'd expect in a chinese restaurant, loud! and the fluorescent lights take away any chance of intimacy. The service has been good at dinner, we had an awesome waiter with a great sense of humour but he is overshadowed by the extremely rude lady at the counter and a few other rude wait staff. Sometimes i feel that they're only nice to people they know.

The best pies in Sydney!! especially the steak and pepper pies. the blueberry pie for dessert is awesome as well. Good prices but the service is generally friendly but a bit ditzy, they forgot about my order!! Apart from that, really good.

No doubt. The BEST ice cream in the whole world. This place is a favourite for my friends and me. The last time I visited, the manager made the recommendation of merangue ice cream with marshmallows and passionfruit sauce. It tasted just like pavlova in ice cream form.

He also gave my friend some free marshmallows in her ice cream. They have so many flavours, including coconut which is another of my favourites. It isn't really a place where you sit down but it's right near Darling Harbour which has lots of places. Can't wait to go back!

I love the burgers here! My friend and I come here every school holidays and I spend the rest of the year craving the fantastic newtown burger!
