As a result, the service was superb and very personal. The chef was quite a character (as you'd expect in a dining experience like this) and let us explore some of the less common/stranger delicacies on offer from the sea (fish liver, various roes, and other things perhaps too uncouth to write here). We really enjoyed our experience.

We were 1 of only 3 tables at the time we dined (6pm) and as this resturant is set back from the main 2 streets of Barangaroo it was very quiet however the staff were lovely and extra attentive (without being painful).
