   The food was really nice! however I was turned off as I received a glass that had thick red lipstick on it. My husband returned it to the bar with no apologies or acknowledgement at all, just a nod of the bartenders head. We order a cob loaf which was delicious however, the plate it was served on was wet, which made the cob loaf all soggy underneath. I feel a bit more attention is needed in these areas! The food I could not fault!

   There is no need for the music. We come for the view and food. That’s enough.

   Recommended by a friend for lunch. Short, pleasant ferry from Circular Quay. Lovely situation. Busy but pleasantly so. Tasty food. Not cheap but such is their popularity and lack of competition, they can afford to mark up.

   We told the staff that we were running late, they assured us it will be fine. We got there and our table "garden" was waiting for us. We asked if we could get a table in the restauramt if there were any available preferably outside. They found a table for us in the restaurant. We were very happy. Then moments later a lovely staff member comes to let us know that there is a table outdoors that became available. She did not have to do that but she did it simply because they are great. We loved every minute there. Staff are THE best. View amazing. Thank you so much

   Would highly recommend this venue. We loved the relaxed vibe, sitting outside at the front, by the beach, with lots of available shade. Great views to Sydney. The prawn salad was delicious with a great menu to choose from, including a large variety of non and alcoholic drinks.

   The food was exquisite. Natural oysters, surf'n'tum and mussels. The mussels could have been cooked a little more, that is my only criticism. Absolutely sumptuous. The staff have impeccable manners and are very attentive. They even showed some humor. Well it is pricey, but you have to pay for quality
