Nothing beats the view & exceptional service - The Lui Bar never disappoints!!! The Unearthed Mushroom Vol Au Vent whilst very yummy is a bit small, however the Fried Chicken, Crème Fraiche, Fermented Chilli is a massive serve and DELICIOUS!!! Air conditioning for tables on the window needs to be turned up or reconfigured for the Aussie summer - we sweated our way through the sunset but was worth it xxx
