Teddy was fabulous! Service, food, decor & ambience all on point. We were a group & got a room to ourselves which made it even better. Finally, the service is some of the best I've had in Sydney.

Angelos has changed over 25 years when I first went their . The time of day mid week the place was 90% setup for a function so it didn’t have the feel of being in cosy restaurant like it used to be. However if the place was fitted out for normal seating then it would have a different atmosphere. I guess I just turned up on the wrong day. Definitely is a great place to hold a function but the room is not separated between function and normal dining.

The amusee bouche was delicious and welcomed with the bread roll as it took quite a while for the entree to arrive. My husband was not impressed by the salmon entree and left most of it. I enjoyed the ravoli - I could taste the pumpkin middles (usually with ravioli I can't) but I found the creamy sauce a bit too rich and overpowering. My husband really enjoyed the duck main and I quite enjoyed the steak, though it was a bit gristley. I would have preferred less steak and more veg. The creme brulee was delicious. The mocktail was nice. We took home the petit fours which were lovely morsels.
