Our lovely waitress not only gave us excellent food recommendations, but she even showed me a map of where we needed to walk to find some fresh flowers for the crematorium. We are just tourists and have no clue where to go, and it was so nice to have a helpful person. NOW...THE FOOD. Oven baked scallops with clam meat, garlic butter and flatbread. Holy cow! Delish, and just the right amount. Loved the presentation in the pretty white shells. Next we tried the fried squid with squid ink aioli. Again another great little meal. Very crisp and tasty. Hot. Cheese. Dip. YESSSSS!!!! This is the one thing on the menu that we saw on their website that made us want to come here in the first place. A hot sizzling iron plate of gooey white cheese, served with warm toasty flatbread. YUM. Elegant atmosphere and a great view of Darling Harbour. Very impressive place.

Remember it's a training school, don't be hard on the staff. That said, the staff were incredibly attentive and professional and eager to please. The manager was also an excellent teacher and we could hear her guiding the staff with her knowledge and experience on display. The food can be described as Modern Australian. It's old school food, showing the techniques learnt in training school that term and plated with finesse. We had the beetroot entree, so tasty and beautifully plated, and we also tried the spanned crab, just divine. The Roasted Milly Hill lamb cutlets, rillets of lamb showing great care and precision and skill in its plating. It came with lamb shoulder, confit tomato, crispy cauliflower and jus. We had this with a side of roasted veggies. The Herb and ricotta gnocchi was absolutely lovely and nicely flavoured with with oyster mushroom, Tuscan cabbage and garden peas. After our meal, we were good to try a bit of dessert. The Dark Chocolate delice was nice and smooth, served with burnt white chocolate, a marshmallow whip and a peanut brittle with a bit of Turkish delight too. We loved the marshmallow addition to this dish. Ranked 5th on trip advisor, we can see why! It is a high quality dining experience, marvellous food and served in an efficient manner. What a great initiative to give these staff vocational training whilst gaining support and development.

All of the food we had was top notch, and the service was friendly and professional, even if there were a few details that weren't perfectly polished. Perhaps because it is a training environment the prices are extremely reasonable, both for food and wine. There's no question that it's the best value of all of Sydney's fine dining restaurants.

It's been several years, but our intimate tour of this winery was another highlight of one of my…read moretrips to Australia. We were able to speak with the owner, see where the grapes are grown, see where the wine was stored, and sample a number of the wines. I imagine the place has changed a lot since we've been there, but I still remember how well we were treated, and how delicious that Australian wine was. The saddest part of the entire trip is that I carried two bottles of wine home with me. I didn't put them in my baggage because I didn't want them to break. Consequently, when it went through airport security in Sydney, they simply took the bottles and dropped them in the trash. I was unable to take them with me on the plane. It was enough to make a grown man cry.

The café occupies the corner of Garden st and Henderson Road and is industriously styled with cool marble and pink interior and a hanging garden. There's plenty of space inside and out, so I you won't be waiting long for a table. Serving Toby's estate coffee and a range of modern Australian dishes for both breakfast or lunch, as well as some sweet treats, is a popular café with the locals and visitors to the area alike. I've visited now on more than one occasion and the café is continuously striving to perfect their menu offerings. A group of us dined on this day to sample a number of the menu choices. The Grumpy's special of chili scrambled eggs were presented atop sourdough bread and a side of heirloom carrots, a heatlhy and wholesome meal. The winner of the day, and also one recommended to us was the Green Pea Smash with burrata and prosciutto. A great combination of flavours. From the sweets menu, we went for the Fig Brioche, topped with macadamia, honey, ricotta and vanilla ice cream (in place of the regular fairy floss). There were a few fruits topping it and would love to have a few more. The Grumpy's granola and pannacotta is also not only beautiful, but delicious and served with a raspberry pannacotta. Could be a sweet or breakfast ;) The venue also serves the famous cronuts (a mix of a doughnut and croissant, filled with a range of insides like cream, Nutella, caramel and topped with oreos etc. Surprise yourself. The guys at grumpy's are always friendly and hospitable. Make sure you pay them a visit.
