On arriving staff were very helpful to get a superb table. The food was delicious. Only the noise/ambience was very loud as the time went on. Not the restaurants issue. My wife and I loved the time. Thank you.

Sunny staff who know their craft and enter into the spirit of your dining pleasure. Generous portions, splendid fresh ingredients and a nicely curated drinks list. Terrific view and a respite from the heat during the summer months.

Good food, large portions but a bit limited wine list.
Views are really good, plus enjoying the gallery before or after the meal is an added bonus.

This restaurant is fantastic. The fact that it's located inside the Art Gallery for easy access is a real bonus. The food is very interesting and exceptionally well-priced for a restaurant of this quality. The waiting staff are very experienced, professional and friendly. The wine list is extensive. Views across to Woolloomooloo are a lovely backdrop. The whole experience was wonderful. Highly recommended even if you don't attend a special exhibition.
