We have tried most of the share plates they are always good. Buy from attached bottle shop as the price by the glass is obscene. The ambience/price targets a specific market, if you are just looking for a drink... the pub is across the road.

Awesome value for money. 2 poached eggs on toast $5 and $2 to add extras. Everyone's food was cooked perfectly and the barista is good!

Divine! Service was exceptional (the English chap in particular).

Ordinarily I do not enjoy seafood, however, every dish was a sensational experience. The chocolate in the pea soup was overbearing, but resulted in a funny and memorable moment for us.

We had Papaya tonight for the first time, and were torn about our experience.

The food was fantastic. We had a duck stir fry, two chicken dishes and lamb shanks. The flavours had great variety, the produce was fresh, and each dish had their own unique characteristics. We loved it, and felt the price was excellent for what we got. (being byo doesn't hurt!)

However, on the downside. It was a humid night, but a lovely temperature outside. You wouldn't have known it sitting at our table. The windows were open, but even with a nice breeze out there was no airflow. They have an air conditioning unit, but it was off.

Generally I would feel comfortable requesting the air con turned on, but the staff, and in particular the head waitress, were brusque and unapproachable. In fact, we were made to feel unwelcome from the moment we called to make a booking and felt we were simply an inconvenience to the staff. From that point of view a major disappointment. We would not eat in in person again, but may well order takeout.

Go else where for good Thai. We got (a lot of) takeout and it had no flavour at all, a green curry without spice... no thanks. Positives, the Vegetables were very fresh and the delivery guy was nice.

The modern Italian menu was a nice surprise, we were very impressed with our meals and will definitely go back to give the menu a workout! If you are looking for something a little bit different, check out the casual drinks den at the back.

Avoid the food, its not worth the price. The service, beer and ambience is good. 5 chances for food over the last year and all bad. I'm surprised at the difference to the CBD location.

The bento box lunch sets were fresh, tasty and great value. The menu looked a little pricey, but I'm keen to try this place out for dinner soon.

My favourite restaurant in Sydney! I've been here a number of times and always left happy. Outside is more intimate, as downstairs can get noisy (but still a great atmosphere). Brilliant music, I've never been disappointed.
