Love, love, love this place. The coffee is awesome and always comes with a smile. The breakfast is well priced and delicious. I'm slowly working through the menu but always seem to fall back on the baked eggs. Couldn't recommend it more.

What a wonderful find. Tucked away near Sydenham Station this little cafe has some great food. The menu isn't extensive but what it does, it does well. The coffee is great, a little bitter but hit the spot and the girl who served us was so lovely. Will be back.

We went here on a voucher deal which meant that the value was very good. The meal was beautiful, although it was a set menu the barramundi was absolutely delicious and the souffle was divine. The view is spectacular and it is lovely watching the boats come and go, along with the sea planes.

However, we were not given a choice about where to sit and were therefore seated outside. As we are in the middle of winter it was rather cold and although there was a blanket it would have been nice to have a heater as well. It made the meal a little uncomfortable. Another downside was the service, we were served by at least 5 different people, none of whom were overly friendly and at least one was bordering on the side of the rudeness.

If you have a voucher don't expect to be treated the same as the other customers. We will not be going back.

We went to this place as we had a deal. So glad that we did. It has fantastic food and drinks which are so fresh and delicious. They have a really good vegetarian selection and you can add on bacon which is scrummy. Food is bought locally and ethically. Can't wait to go back.

Went here on a deal but will certainly go back again. The food was outstanding, fresh and understated allowing the natural flavours to come through. The young lad serving us was lovely and the pudding was fantastic along with one of the best affogato's I have had. Keep up the good work Monal!

We went here through a deal online, therefore, the value for us was fantastic but if we went back and paid full price I would reduce the rating as it is on the more expensive side for Italian. The food was absolutely fabulous though. We had a meat and a vegetarian mezze and they were divine, they were also very big, we should have shared just the one! The pizza was crispy and thin with a good helping of toppings. Overall we were very impressed and will probably go back the food was so good.

We camped at Patonga and so looked up places to eat nearby and went to 304 on West based solely on the reviews here. We were not disappointed. We initially were only going for breakfast but ended up going for dinner! The food is delicious, the zucchini fritters were melt in your mouth and the breakfast didn't disappoint either. When we next camp in the area we will certainly go back!

We decided to check this place out due to the good reviews and how nice it looked on the website. We had a table booked for 19:00 on a Sunday night and when we arrived it was pretty busy. Unfortunately, there were only two barmaids working which meant that we waited for at least ten minutes at the bar before we could order a drink or our food (there is no table service). We were told there would be a 40-45 minutes wait for our pizzas, which we thought was a little over the top considering the only thing they serve is pizza (no starters, no desserts).

We settled down with a couple of cocktails which were delicious and waited, and waited, finally after an hour they managed to get two pizzas and a salad to us. The wait was sadly not worth it, the pizzas are Ok, nothing to write home about and certainly not worth a 60 minutes wait. We were really disappointed overall as the decor and vibe (live music) could have resulted in such a good evening but the fact that they only had four members of staff on to work a Sunday evening during the school holidays was just ridiculous.

Hopefully they will sort the staffing out and get the pizzas out quicker because it could be a really good little bar/restaurant.

We often go here for Brunch and the food has always been great, so thought we would try out the new dinner menu which has been going for a couple of months. It did not disappoint, we had the eschallot and brie tart to start with which was very yummy. Only one veggie main, but they said they are working on getting more veggie stuff on the menu but it was gorgeous, and my partner had the blue swimmer crab bisque and said it was delicious, not too creamy and not too tomatoey.

We had the share dessert, choc panacotta, choc mouse, choc truffles, and vanella icecream with death by choc cake batter, all of which was very delicious. Will definitely go back when they have more veggie stuff on the menu.

We picked this restaurant based on the menu on their website. When we got to the restaurant the menu was different to both the one posted outside and also the one given to us at the table. Three different menus, three different prices. We had picked the restaurant based on the variety offered for a vegetarian as my partner does not eat meat.

Unfortunately, the new menu provided one offering and at 19:30 at night without a car and in the Blue Mountains there are not many other options available to walk to so we stuck with it. With hindsight we should have left and eaten toast at the Hotel. I order a steak and was instead presented with beef tenderloin, my partner was presented with some rather unappetizing filled capsicum.

Overall, we were extremely unimpressed with the menu, with the food and with the service. I would never go back and would certainly steer other people away from going. Save your money and find somewhere else.
