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.

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.

We started with a mini martini and goat cheese tart combo that they promoted as a bite while you decide on the menu for the night... very creative idea! We ordered a bunch of plates to share and everything was delicious but the most surprising was the kangaroo dish? As we were visiting Australia we had to order this off the menu but were not expecting it to be a raw dish like tartare. However, we were so pleasantly surprised with the taste! We shared 3 of the desserts and all of them were heavenly! Such a delicious dinner, great service, and some great people watching as well! This was a dinner I will remember for a very long time!!

This was the most highly rated restaurant in Surry Hills, and it exceeded all expectations. I cannot say enough great things about the duck slow cooked in plum sauce. It was perfectly seasoned with a bright, sweet plum glaze-- the meat was so tender that it fell off the bone. This was hands down the most delicious duck dish I have ever eaten. We enjoyed a handful of their appetizers (oyster shooters, mini pancakes with crème fresh, etc), all of which were incredible. Very grateful to our waiter for being so helpful with menu suggestions and accommodating one of the guests with a more complicated food palette. The ambience inside was intimate with low warm lightly. The music was classy and not too loud. Such a beautiful and memorable space.

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 disappointed when the one in Parramatta closed and it's good to see another open in the vicinity. Can be very noisy if there are a few children around, apart from that still a fan of the Outback Jacks steaks, which although smaller, I feel are superior to those found at the Outback Steakhouse. When you visit don't forget to check out the giant crocodile on the ceiling and try and guess how long he is.

Griddle is around the corner and they have better steaks and meals and grill'd around the other side have better burgers and chips! Hard call! I'm not too sure what I'd come back for now :(

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!
