    A bit disappointed with the food quality. Have been here 3 times before and enjoyed immensely. Seafood platter was dry calamari, fish batter oily and prawns not up to scratch. Scallops overcooked.😞

    Fantastic location—our table overlooked the harbour and city skyline at sunset. The service was great. Fish was fresh, local, and tasty. The passion fruit cheesecake was excellent.

    From the warm friendly greetings by excellent staff to the final strawberry this venue is second to none. My friend ordered whiting fish and chips and although usually a small eater made her way through all 5 generous pieces of fish and extra crunchy chips. I had the whole flounder which was cooked to perfection. The view of Sydney skyline and the tip of the Harbour Bridge provides a perfect backdrop. Don’t miss out on this amazing place

    This restaurant is a Sydney icon but has been completely destroyed in a quest to make as much money as possible. The quality of the food has decreased over and over again over the past 20 years. The quality of the staff has also been diminishing for years. Our waitress could hardly speak English. The food was low quality but very expensive. The service was horrible... and though I have been eating here since I was a child 40 years ago, I decided last night I will never go there again. It's sad. It's tragic. But it is what it is.

    I ordered the daily special - wahoo. The fish was so dry it was inedible. The waiter changed it for another fish.
