The best Mexican in Sydney! I love this place. The food is fantastic. I can never go past the fajitas and always end up getting that it is so very filling and comes will salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese and more! Sangria is great too. The dips as an entree are great for nibbling on while trying to pick a main.

Wouldn't recommend the squid, thought it was without batter (as the description might indicate) but came out as normal salt and pepper squid, still nice but I found it extremely salty and too heavy.

You must try this place but don't forget to book ahead as they get quite busy.

Went here a few months ago and the food was really quite good. Problem is that it is way over-priced. The burgers are pretty yummy! I will be back and I do recommend to try.

An amazing ambience and fantastic service. I have to say I am a sucker for good service and the waiters here sure are attentive and know what they are talking about. The food was great but admittedly my ravioli was a tad salty. Husband got the 'half chicken' also a tad salty but disappointment there was the description of 'half chicken' was misleading as there was only two pieces of chicken breast meat!

Without a doubt the winner of the night was the polenta chips...amazing! If you go these are a Must. And the antipasto plate is one of the best I have had. All in all a great meal and to top it off it is so very reasonably priced.

Great place to eat! I must admit I get nervous when restaurants describe themselves as seafood restaurants because then they have to live up to having fresh seafood. And they did! Oyters were huge and fresh and the mussels were great! I got the gnocchi simply because it said homemade and I just had to see if it was - it was, very yummy! Everyone around me was also happy with the food. My husband got a steak and it was cooked to perfection. I wanted to try the 3 course special but didn't think I could finish it. Il try that next time. The service is also great. Our host was very nice and even gave us a round of shots! I love a place with good service that realyl care about customers so I'm proud to give this review. I recommend you try this place :)

A nice restaurant. Spectacular views and amazing service. The decor is beautiful. The food was nice, it wasn't spectacular, as I thought it would be. I got the wagyu which comes with a little charcoal cooker, which was different! The ambience and service was fantastic. But I probably would only go back to try the tasting menu.

I've been here on a few occasions and all have been great experiences. I went there last Monday night and (for the first time) didn't get the fries with cheese and bacon. I must say these are to die for! But they are so very filling that I could never finish my main which is why I didn't order this time around. I tried the fried mushroom which someone else ordered and wow they are great too!

For my main I got the ribs and chicken. The chicken was the most succulent juiciest chicken I've had in a while. Cocktails are very reasonable, you must try (I think its called) The Darned Wallaby? It's only $7.50 and it is so very tasty! All in all a great night and a great meal. I must mention that although the waitress was very attentive she did forget 1 persons drink and she didn't receive it for almost an hour. But that didn't sour the night.

One of the best meals I have ever had and according to my father in law (who is not easily impressed) it was the best meal he has ever had! The ambience is amazing. And the service fantastic. The owner had us in stiches all night, he is absolutely hillarious I haven't laughed like that in a long time. I recommend that you have a good sense of humour for this place so if you're dry, don't go. I am definitely going back there!

Beautiful ambience at this restaurant, very cosy and intimate. You would not even know you were on a highway. We shared the artichoke flavours and it was obvious that they were pre made and then microwave heated because the lightly fried batter was not crunchy but soft and chewy. I got the large pasta shells with roasted duck, artichoke and a walnut sauce.

It was quite rich but oddly enough, not much flavour. My fiance got risotto pescatore and again not much flavour. For dessert we shared the sticky date pudding which left a bittery taste in the mouth. Service is great and I would go back just to give it one more chance.

Went here with a large party. The food was quite standard, nothing special. But the service here was appalling. One waitress was particularly disrespectful. After leaving we discovered that we had been overcharged. Upon realising I contacted the senior staff who refused to refund the amount and offered no apology for the mistake nor an apology for the sheer rudeness of the waitress. It is amazing how something so simple has now lost this restaurant quite a number of customers.

The best tasting charcoal chicken around but for me its still difficult to decide who has the best charcoal chicken habibs or awafy. Habibs is definitely great, the garlic sauce is beautiful and the price is reasonable. Almost everytime I eat here I don't need to eat for the rest of the day! The chips and chicken salt, are always perfectly cooked!
