    Overall, enjoyed my visit, the staff were lovely and extremely helpful. The food was okay, but no more than that, the prawn and crab pasta was a little on the dry side. Having booked well in advance, I was hoping to be sat outside on such a warm day, but was placed inside, albeit with a view.

    If I had made oysters kilpatrick that were that inedible, the dog wouldn’t have even received them. Particularly enjoyed the clueless waitress who wandered past with our mains, only to return shortly after to ask, ‘Are these yours?’ 😁 An expensive joke. Don’t bother.

    This recommended restaurant did not disappoint. The views from the table where we were sat were excellent. Service was fantastic and the waiting staff were really helpful and friendly. We had the Calamari to share, followed by surf n turf and the mussels. Delicious food, very well seasoned (which is rare these days), and great value for money. It was our last day in Sydney, and this lunch was a great way to say goodbye to Australia!
