Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Rooty Hill

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.

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at the Royal Cricketers Arms numerous times, and the YFD (Your Funeral Director) Christmas Gathering was no exception to its charm. The historic venue always provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the festive touches added an extra special vibe to the event. However, during the Christmas season, it would be great to see table service offered, especially for group gatherings, as it enhances the experience and makes it feel more seamless. Additionally, expanding the menu to include more vegetarian and pescatarian options would be a thoughtful touch, accommodating a wider range of dietary preferences. On a brighter note, the fantastic news that cash payments are once again accepted was much appreciated! Overall, a lovely gathering, and I look forward to seeing the venue continue to grow and improve its offerings in the future. 🎄✨

Pippis has now become our favourite restaurant in Cronulla. We have had lunch and dinner there and now breakfast for the first time and it was excellent. Great food , coffee, view and even our puppy was made welcome. The staff are friendly and efficient. We will be back.

A truly chilled vibe befitting of it's smart casual bayside comfortable scenic dining. Dined at dusk as the sun went down in exchange for the luminescent festive season lights filling the restaurants pandemic panoramic windows. Will return to try more dishes yet ensuring to allow a couple hours for service. The bluefin tuna crudo up there with likes of high calibre sashimi, secondis were belissimo and the chocolate mousse - to die for, simply amazing. Service was, well - seated at just before 7pm (for a 6:30pm booking - which was fine as an opportunity to enjoy a drink on the balcony overlooking the entire Bondi shoreline) yet didn't finish it dining experience till 10pm. Wait staff, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable but not an ideal place if you're after a quick in and out. Be sure to have a few hours to spare - maybe a long catch-up with friends or family you haven't seen in a while.

Whilst our food was great as always, our dinner was tainted by noisy children that weren’t kept quiet by their parents to the point that we couldn’t hear ourselves think. Staff were totally oblivious to this until my wife told the staff to rein it in. She shouldn’t have had to do that as it should’ve been controlled earlier by the parents. Staff were slow to clear to the table. Also there shouldn’t be a paper sheet served under the Calzone as whilst slicing the calzone I was also slicing the paper which is ok if you’re a Koala, not so much if you’re a paying customer. Why not serve it on an oval porcelain plate instead of a wooden plater. All in all, a disappointing experience this time.
