We came here twice for pizza and regretted not going again!! Hahah! Cocktails are pricey but great quality ingredients. If nothing catches your attention no worries!

The food we got (chickpea, avocado, pomegranate, edamame salad with halloumi / gnocchi / cauliflower entree) was all delicious and were all perfect sizes.

There are also really good cocktail specials on the weekend!

Went for my dad's birthday dinner after googling "the best restaurant in sydney" and he told me…read morethis was 7th. I don't think this is the 7th best restaurant in sydney and I'm not sure what website my dad found but either way we ate here for a sunday night We ordered several tapas, potatoes, prawns, some rustic sourdough, mushrooms and paella. We opted not to get chorizo because we were advised that chorizo would be in the paella but if you see my photos they were not there... nor were there any prawns in it which surprised me. Anyway what's more disappointing was the service. I'm not sure if the waitress was new but she knew the menu but was just not in the game mentally. She forgot to get us tap water. Forgot one of the orders. Forgot to remind the kitchen we had 6 people (gave us 5 prawns when we asked for servings for 6) Forgot to get us sangria. Geez im not sure if it was just that day but seeing we paid about 35pp including drinks i thought it was reasonable but the lasting impression was the poor service. We had an entertainment voucher and paid about 28 dollars less

I went for dinner at this place with about 7 friends on a Friday night. I have never been keen on…read moresharing types of restaurants, I'm not the sharing type when it comes to food! However! This place changed this for me. This place offers mains and Spanish tapas, I was keen to go mains and not share but the majority ruled and one person ordered.. Now another thing I'm not a fan of!!! But! Man they did a good job. We started off with the Spanish chorizo in this incredible sauce that amazing tangy flavours! Then came out the potato and cheese croqets. Then scallops and prawns and beautiful woodfired cheese and bread mmmmm after a few rounds of that out came a pulled pork paella yep. By the end I was so full but oh so satisfied! After washing it down with a few tasty Spanish beers. Heaven. It was getting late so thought to have dessert there as well. And what do you have at a Spanish restaurant? Churro! Come on! Ok. Don't get the churro they were rubbish. Like really bad. But that tells you how good the rest of meal was it still got 4 massive starts. I was even thinking 5.. The service we great! One guy was serving us the whole time, he was very helpful and made sure we understood everything that was coming to our table. The only thing he got wrong was he said the churro's were really yum! Not cheap about $50pp full on eating experience but I think that it's pretty worth it for fun night out with good people, might as well marry that up with tasty as foood!!

We did a package for a three course meal and so they give you the menu and tell you which groups of food you can pick one of each of. I had a Byron Bay pork belly appetizer with roumolaude with an Asian coleslaw type thing is one of my appetizers. My husband had the. Morton Bay bug broccoli bisque. This is not a soup, but you are giving a little serving dish of the bisque to pour on as much as you'd like on your bug. lol for our main entrées, my husband had Heramassa Kingfish that he said was light and very yummy. I had the duck dish as that's one of my favorite meals. I can't say that this was cooked the way I tend to like my duck, which is more pink in it. It was overcooked . T It was chewy and there wasn't enough sauce, which would've helped. Last but at least we both had desserts and they were both fantastic! He had the lemon tart, mango meringue, and I had the Caramelia raspberry sponge cake. It was delicious! You can't beat the view from this restaurant and the service was very attentive and they were very friendly. The only thing I would say is they could update it inside a bit more. Maybe new carpet and furniture but all in all it was worth it. I think we paid $72 per person, so it wasn't cheap and then you still had to buy your alcohol (2 glasses of wine cost $51 ) which is pretty expensive, oysters were extra, side dishes were extra as well. I still give it a higher rating as opposed to a lower one. Great special evening place to go.!

This is a very common Friday lunch-time haunt for corporates due to the good lunch menu and open bar. The "BBQ menu" is standard pub fare but the quality is actually quite good.

Take a seat in the open verandah which is especially nice in summer, and count down the hours to quitting time and the weekend!

My coworker and I got there a little after 12PM, right in time for the start of the 3rd quarter. Wasn't too crowded, so we snagged a table with a great view of the TV. There are daily specials and it was Wednesday, so we got the parmigian for $10. This was basically the chicken schnitzel which is the special the day before..hmmm Ordered a cider and waited for the food and watched the game. The buzzer went off within minutes and the plate was huge. There was salad, a good amount of chips and a huge heart shaped chicken parmigian with cheese and bacon on top. You can top it off with gravy at the cutlery station. The meat was a bit tough to cut but overall pretty tasty. Was stuffed afterwards. Cheap food, basketball and cider, can't really go wrong with that combination!
