Food was amazing, and I mean all the dishes. Exceptional. Such a lovely surprise that the executive chef came out to greet us! That was a big highlight for us. Great view. The only downside was that it was very very noisy in the restaurant. Would definitely be back again and again. Thank you!

Keep up the good work on all levels. Giovanni accommodate us beyond my expectation. The head chef had time to bring the first course and greet us & when I was leaving he greeted me appropriately.

Fantastic staff and for me an iconic must visit when in Sydney. The food was better than average but not top level - fish was either over cooked or else had rested too long under heat lamp. Lamb rack was great but a mean assortment of vegetables which were largely Luke warm. Wines good value and highlight was the staff.

Another great lunch. Perfect weather. We all enjoyed our meals. The Morton Bay big lasagne was amazing. Steak was very good. Desserts great. It’s hard to find anything this good for this price elsewhere.
