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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
