Is it a good place to play golf? I have no idea, I hate golf…read more But it's a pretty good place to go for lunch if you work in North Ryde/Macquarie Park and you're sick of the usual. Their kitchen cooks all manner of southeast Asian food, huge heaping portions for $9 per plate, and you can sit outside in the sun and look over the greens. BBQ pork in plum sauce? Singapore noodles? Mongolian beef? If you can name a stir fry, they do it, and they do it quick. Lather on extra plum or bbq sauce, then get yourself a Coopers from the bar. Proper lunch. It's nice, clean, and currently even the entryway is being refurbished.

Came here for the second time today and had a good lunch with my husband and 3 year old…read more Friendly service and able to accommodate us for a 12 pm lunch ever though we had no booking and there was a function on. We sat "outside" but it was nicely sheltered from the elements. Easily opened up for some air as more people came. Food was really tasty for what it is, I'm not Lebanese but have had Al Aseel in Greenacre for comparison! It stands up to Al Aseel and if we're lazy to drive to the other side of Sydney (or the weather is like it is today, rainy and wet!) then this does our craving for dips, meats and falafels! I think we'd consider this place for a function next time as food comes out quick and fast and can accommodate a good amount of people. Food is well presented and staff as well as the owner appears quite attentive. Scary thing is it's next to a pastry shop, which is so tempting post lunch to pick up an afternoon treat! (Diabetics have been warned!) Parking is also easy enough with a parking lot and street parking. Definitely not our last visit here.

Totally amazing now! Clean, all new furniture, same great hospo staff, and food. Great place to…read morehave an impromptu meeting in a quiet and clean setting. The daily food specials are amazing, and on Friday is the Chatty Platter at $30, normally $46 for members. It states it feeds two, eat easily would satisfy four! Best place in Chatswood for a business lunch for sure.

When I received the elaborately printed invitation to view Curzon House an event venue in Marsfield…read moreI was rather excited. Arriving at the venue at dusk I enjoyed that we were greeted at the gate by suited waiters with platters of champagne. Curzon House is simply one word - elegant. Its sandstone presence with its square turret is a historical beauty. Inside there were so many rooms, ballrooms and places to explore and enjoy it was difficult to choose what was the showcase itself. The original Curzon Hall was residential and it housed not only the mansion but a ballroom, stables, wine cellars and extensive gardens. It became a seminary for the Catholic church in the 1920's as a chapel was constructed from the stone that was used in the stables. In 1983 the property was purchased for commercial use and with years of renovation it has become of Sydney's most unique event venues should you be considering a special occasion. It's just worth a visit in itself to appreciate its grandeur.

Hall? This place is a Castle…read more Set on two acres of manicured lawns and lush gardens, this magnificent granite building oozes style, romance and history. I was a guest at a garden wedding here a month ago, followed by a reception on the same grounds. Sipping expensive wine in the lovely, open-style terrace and dancing the evening away in one of the nine lavish ballrooms, I felt like a princess. I could go on and on about how much I love this place but you'll just have to see it for yourself. Savour the site at your leisure and take advantage of a fabulous photo opportunity. It was a fairytale wedding fit for a couple who was just meant to be.
