Well prepared, simple dishes. Eye fillet was the best meal, which is surprising for a seafood restaurant. We had salmon, barramundi, and crocodile, too. Tiramisu dessert decent. Expected more flavor and uniqueness. However, pretty average meals.

Ambience is the only reason for going, view of opera house and bridge. Service was disappointing. Again, expected a bit more attendance and friendliness. We felt we were bothering the server by being there. Even as we were ordering, he was looking away, around the rest of the area. Overpriced for food. You're paying for the view.

Most of the dishes are well flavored. The meat and seafood meals are nice. The soup has minimal flavor. Tiramisu is one of the best. Worth a stop just for that. Decent wine choices. Good atmosphere, small, welcoming, pleasant.

Service was good. Friendly staff. High prices, but usual for near quay. Overall, good italian place.

Food was good. Not the best flavored food in the area, but decent. Good portion sizes. Service was great. Atmosphere was fun. Very busy, a band, and friendly service made for a good time. Average price for a city restaurant.

Great food, service and good atmosphere. Average cost for the area, but pricey for an overall meal. Expect about $30 per person minimum for a full meal with drinks. Was pleased with food. Risotto was nice. Good portion size. Service was attentive.

Overall, impressed with the meeting point. We went for dinner on a Tues night. It was full of customers, a good sign. We had the calamari and sausage entree. Both fantastic. The salt and pepper on the calamari was near perfect. The sausage was sweet and was well accented with the fresh garlic. We had two hot pots (miso and pork), which came with a large amount of items for cooking. Really a lot of food.

The house wine was even quite a good one. Really pleased. The desserts were fresh tasting and were a good finisher to the meal. We were happy with our visit to the restaurant. Definitely will recommend it to others.

Went for lunch. Average food. Not anything exciting, but decent. It's nice being near the beach. The interior is basic. Server was kind and service well timed. Reasonable prices for location and quality. Would stop back for quick, easy lunch or coffee.

The Lowenbrau is best for its atmosphere. The food is good, but the price is very high. The service was well timed and friendly. Its a fun place to visit, but be prepared to spend a lot.

We visited Chilli & Spice with a voucher. We were delightfully pleased with our visit.

The voucher included: wine, papadum with tomato and onion salad and cucumber raita, chicken tikka, onion bhaji, 2 mains (mango chicken and lamb achari), naan, rice, and 2 desserts (mango and pistachio ice cream). We really enjoyed the flavors in all of the dishes. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The atmosphere was pleasant. The restaurant is spacious.

The service was great. The server kept us well informed and was friendly. The average price of meals appears to be about $15, which seems a bit high for the small servings of the mains. We had the voucher, so the cost was fantastic for us. However, we are willing to visit again and pay the menu price. We think the flavor, freshness, and quality is worth the cost.
