I do enjoyed our lunch today. Celebrating our 18th anniversary. My husband had the veal - must say I had food envy. And it was delicious!! My red emperor was great and the sides of green beans with lemon and corn puree with sheep’s yoghurt was amazing as was the sugar-loaf cabbage. The special touch of a chocolate desert to celebrate was amazing a thank you Sam!

A truly chilled vibe befitting of it's smart casual bayside comfortable scenic dining. Dined at dusk as the sun went down in exchange for the luminescent festive season lights filling the restaurants pandemic panoramic windows. Will return to try more dishes yet ensuring to allow a couple hours for service. The bluefin tuna crudo up there with likes of high calibre sashimi, secondis were belissimo and the chocolate mousse - to die for, simply amazing. Service was, well - seated at just before 7pm (for a 6:30pm booking - which was fine as an opportunity to enjoy a drink on the balcony overlooking the entire Bondi shoreline) yet didn't finish it dining experience till 10pm. Wait staff, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable but not an ideal place if you're after a quick in and out. Be sure to have a few hours to spare - maybe a long catch-up with friends or family you haven't seen in a while.

Love that you’ve been getting mixed reviews, we wanted to try anyway, it was AMAZING! We aren’t the biggest fans of Asian food either, but with Neil Perry at the helm it was worth trying…and we aren’t so grateful we did. Having excellent staff with great attitudes helps as well as a great wine list - loved all the drinks and the options Fried rice was off the charts as well as the dumplings prawn toast snapper, what have I left out! 🩵🩵🩵
