We had a great table for 2 at the front edge, with a clear view of the opera house and the people strolling the waterfront. The linguine with seafood was delicious, as was the burrata and the Italian beer. Tiramasu was tasty, but we wished we had shared because the portion was huge! On Christmas Eve, it was very busy, so service was a bit off, but all the servers were so pleasant that I can’t fault them.

We, a party of four, use the Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf, regularly for pre-theatre dining and it never disappoints. The menu and the wine list are broad enough to provide variety without being overwhelming and are reasonably priced. The quality of the food is excellent and the staff are outstanding - always pleasant and helpful. Wouldn’t eat anywhere else.
