My husband and I dined here on a sunday night, and the service was fantastic. As it was our first time trying vietnamese cuisine, we decided to have the $88 tasting menu. I loved everything on the menu and thats saying a lot, as I don't usually eat pork or squid! The chilli salted squid was to die for. The seasoning was amazing and together with the white pepper sauce made such a beautiful dish.

The other stand out was the Mussels in coconut sauce so delicious I wanted more! Overall, I definitely would come back again as we had a great experience.

We went for our Wedding Anniversary dinner here last week. Such amazing food for great prices. We ordered the antipasti for entree and wow was it delicious! It was a huge portion that could feed easily 4 people.

Then for mains I ordered the battered flathead and chips which was so tasty, the fish was so fresh and the chips so thickly cut and tasty. My husband ordered the seafood pasta and again they just outdid themselves. The service was top notch, we definitely will be coming back here again!

Jamie's Italian was better than I had expected. We ordered the meat plank which was amazing. The Squid was a tad on the small size but tasty and the polenta chips which were abit too chunky. The standout for me was the Jamie's style tiramisu. The flavour was just lovely. I would definitely go again and try some different things!

Wow absolutely amazing food. Will be coming back again as long as the food stays the same. We were a group of 6 people and got the $30 banquet. We couldn't believe how much food came out!

El Bulli is a great place in the spot to have tapas. It is over priced and the music too loud, but the food is really nice. I recommend the pinchos de pollo & patatas bravas!

We went for the first time for dinner on a saturday night, where they don't take reservations for less than 10 people. We waited about half an hour to be seated which wasn't too bad, and the food we ordered arrived quickly. The portion sizes are on the small side, however, they were really tasty. The thing that really tarnished our experience is that we waited over half an hour for dessert which was overpriced in my view.

I would go back maybe just for cocktails with friends as the atmosphere is great or for dinner during the week when its not so busy.

Went here recently for a family dinner. Its good chinese food. Amazing special fried rice, I have never seen such big prawns in chinese fried rice ever. It is a bit pricey, but worth it for the great service and food.

I have to say the Surry Hills Gazebo is fantastic. We went there with a group of friends and yes it was packed, but what great energy and atmosphere! This is definitely not a place to have a quiet drink and dinner. I will definitley go back.
