We just moved to the area and decided to try this place one saturday night with some friends. We had no problems getting a table just after 8:30pm (I guess a little late for most people). The service was friendly and helpful and the food was great, nice and fresh.

Another great outlet in the westfield food court. We came here last sunday evening for a quick but tasty dinner and were not disapointed! We both ordered the bbq pork with rice and a side of chicken satays. The presentation was great and the pork was cooked perfectly. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely be back!

My husband and I each had a federation burger with a side of fries and onion rings and everything was great! The burger was so big I couldn't eat it all and both the fries and onion rings were nice and crispy and big portions. I think with this food court you have to get there at the right time to fully take advantage of the restaurants (not lunch time rush). We've eaten at 3 different places after 6pm and they've all been great.

Possibly the worst Hard Rock Cafe in the world! I have to agree with the below comments of annoying staff, over priced drinks and average food you pay a bomb for. We went last thursday night (3 people) and were told we had to wait 1.5 hrs for a table even though the place was half full and they don't take reservations. We ended up waiting 30 minutes before we chased them up.

Our waiter was extremely annoying, he came back and sat with us every 10-15 minutes even though we made it clear we weren't interested. The people behind the bar have no experience either. I asked for a vodka with grenadine and lemonade (pretty bloody standard) and ended up with a martini with some kind of raspberry sauce that cost $20!

The food is edible but way to expensive and the quality doesn't begin to compare to surfers paradise, LA,or NY Hard Rocks. May try again further down the track but I'm doubtful.

Where to start. Terrible service, waited 20mins for a bowl of corn chips with nowhere near enough salsa and guacamole. The guacamole was bland and more like baby food in texture. Our mains of chilli fajitas (not even remotely spicy) and chicken enchilladas (just chicken and too much cheese) took another 40mins to arrive. What was really annoying was the tortillas, sour cream and guacamole sides were brought out well before the fajitas made an appearance,around 30mins. Basically foods average, service poor and everything overpriced. We paid 80bux for 2 softdrinks, 1 beer, corn chips n dip, a serving of fajitas and an enchillada. Ridiculous!

My husband and I went here for dinner last saturday and couldn't fault it. The service was quick and friendly and the food was fantastic and well priced. Old favs like chicken satay and curry puffs were the best I've had in a long time!

What a hidden gem, hadn't realised it was even there till I got the menu in the mailbox. Went here last friday night for dinner and its got to be the best aussie chinese I've had in a long time. The mongolian lamb with pancakes are definitely a fav as are the spring rolls. Will definitely be back soon, oh and the ladies are lovely!

There were a couple of things I found really wrong with this place that will make me Never go back. Firstly we wanted to order a cocktail each to start the night. The waitress recommended ordering a cocktail jug as you could get 4-5 drinks out of it, we only got 2.5, no joke the rest was mint leaves and ice and for $40 we weren't impressed.

Then theres the rest of the extremely over priced menu. How can some dips, bread and 6 kebabs possibly be worth $70?. Then theres the belly dancer and hideous techno music that comes out of nowhere so bloody loud and the staff yelling out and clapping, never again.

Me and my partner have been here about 4 times for breakfast and have loved it every time. Like most people have said it's not a fancy place you go to dine and expect your wine to be poured for you, its a chilled out place to go for a nice quiet meal. I'd definitely recommend going for breakfast!

We booked a table 3wks ago for 8 ppl for last wknd and still had to wait for our table even though one of our friends was on crutches. They did get him a chair though!. The restaurant is really loud and crowded that people have to cram into the bar and stand outside in the shopping centre.

The food was very good though. I ordered the chicken and ribs combo and the icecream with hot fudge sauce and both were very yummy. I guess you do pay extra for the lovely harbour view and fireworks of a saturday night.
