Parramatta RSL Club is a great, inexpensive venue for food, entertainment and drinks…read more They have shows in the auditorium and Turbo Trivia on a Tuesday night which starts at 7:30 pm. Turbo Trivia is hosted by the notorious drag queen Portia Turbo. It's always good for a laugh and it packs out. Be sure to get there early to secure a table. There also is a Board Gamers meetup group that meets on a Monday night to play board games. Check meetup.com and search for the group Game Lovers for more information. The club also has a restaurant with Asian and Aussie cuisine which is reasonably priced. Discounts if you're a member. There is also a cafe who's serves coffee, tea and cakes. There is also a outdoors smokers area, snooker tables, pokie machines etc. Membership is cheap and also gives you access to the Castle Hill RSL Club for discounts for food and drinks, which is owned by the same people. Membership at Castle Hill RSL costs about $80 a year so having this access is a great bonus.

I was however, pleasantly surprised. We timed our visit to coincide with the starting of the first session of movies at the skyline drive-ins so was it wasn't too busy. The food was served in under 15 minutes as well as been freshly prepared and adorable. There is a substantial menu given it is a sensually just a pub meal, as well as being fairly priced as with the drinks also. There is an outdoor seating area as well as the option to cook your own meat yourself. Whilst it was a pub it was, there really was very little noise. Quality of the food was excellent and we will definitely be returning again

The view here was beautiful, looking out at the beach at Patonga. The decor was very nautical, as…read moremight be expected, navy and white with tables covered in sail-like white awnings. The menu was primarily seafood, also not a surprise. I decided to order a salad, not really in the mood for seafood. There was roast cauliflower, steak, chicken Parmesan, and various pizzas in addition to fishy dishes. The place was also packed, so I was glad we got an outside table. I thought my salad was delicious. It had fennel and Parmesan cheese shavings over the greens. I don't know what the greens were, but everything went well together and it was a generous portion. I had second thoughts about salad when I saw the amazingly presented entrees my dining companions had selected. After starting out with a beautiful Bloody Mary, my daughter-in-law had a crumbed dory burger with chips(fries in the States). It had two fish patties coated in herbed crumbs and she said she almost always ordered it, it was so good. It looked delicious but I stuck with my salad. My son had beer-battered flathead fish and chips. It was perfect with crunchy, lightly browned coating covering flakey white fish. I snagged a few of his fries which were also perfect. Prices in restaurants are always higher than in the U.S., but how likely are we to find fish like dory or flathead on the menu? Additionally, waitstaff in Australia are paid a living wage and don't rely on tips.

You can choose to sit inside or in the outdoor courtyard which we opted to as the word heaters were mentioned. The courtyard is beautif Since they are still relatively new they menu is currently limited to two pages but they keep adding specials every week. The first page consists of tasting plates - Antipasti plates and the second consists of mains. We were advised that they encourage people to share all the dishes. We decided to get 4 items from the tasting menu so 2 cheese and 2 cold meats which came to $30 and bread was included for free! We got a basket of assorted crisp bread, crackers and multigrain to have with out tasting plates. I would have to say it may not look like much but the tasting plates can get filling so if you are getting mains as well best try not to eat all the bread! Staff were very attentive and helpful when it came to the selections on the menu. Overall, good first time visit. Looking forward to going back to try some of the mains. They also serve breakfast from 7am to 11am - I also would like to try this.

I ended up here by accident after the queue at another place was too long - and I'm glad we did!…read more First of all, if you come on a Sunday for brekkie make sure you take advantage of the 3hr free parking directly behind The Emporium in the parking station. What first really hits you about this place is the appearance. They've really gone to a lot of trouble and expense to give it a european feel and it works. There is a bakery and cafe window on one side opening out onto a small paved area with seats if you just wanted a coffee and a small bit to eat. If you head inside its divided up into three main parts; inside, upstairs, and the covered courtyard on the side. Just look at the photos - the place looks amazing. I'd read other negative reviews about their coffee - I usually go a latte with an extra shot and the coffee I got was as good as anything I'd had anywhere else. Foodwise I had the truffle oil scrambled eggs with parmesan on sourdough. I have to admit when it came out I though the serving was a bit small. But as I worked my was through it I realised it was just right. The staff were amazing too. It was almost like the service you get in the US - always topping up your water, checking on you, etc. Nothing was too much trouble. About the only downside I saw were the prices on their wine list - if drinking there doesn't earn you the Yelp high roller badge I don't know what will! They're great for a lazy breakfast and I'll definitely be back to try out their lunch and dinner offerings!

Although the food looks great, they didn't taste as good as it looked. I think the best things were the oysters and seared ahi. Oysters were very fresh and the ahi was pretty and tasted amazing! The worst thing was the wine (which Ian didn't drink) and the dessert (hard dry cake which you probably needed a knife to cut and ice cream that almost completed melted on the plate within 2-3 min). Maybe that's how a genoise is supposed to be but we thought it was horrible and couldn't eat it. The pork belly was good but the salad had way too much mayo. Oxtail dumplings were good but I think a little undercooked and almost lukewarm. Brussel sprouts could have been cooked longer. Ian liked the barramundi but I thought it tasted like talaipa (he said it's cause it's a brackish water fish). The servers were pretty attentive. Checking if we needed water and taking away our dishes when finished. But one thing they never asked was how we were enjoying the food. Especially with the dessert, we only took one bite and left it. Overall we were pretty disappointed that this was our only dinner in Sydney on this trip and it wasn't the greatest. I understand it was a school, but I guess we expected it to be great from the reviews we've read and heard from a friend. One good thing is we didn't over eat! Haha! And it was decent prices.
