    The reviews I had read did no justice to the outstanding level of service and cuisine we experienced at Songbird last night with a party of six. Exceptional produce beautifully cooked. Stand-outs were piping hot dumplings with a delicate skin and bouncy interior, sesame prawn toast, beautifully balanced crab omelette and conpoy and lup cheong fried rice. The crisp skin chicken was voted the best we all had ever had - a must order. Mr Wongs had the monopoly of fine Cantonese food in Sydney up until now. The baton, has now been well and truly been passed to Songbird. Can’t wait to return.

    Nice venue with spectacular vista. Services were acceptable although it was a very busy night. Food quality was average. Worth a try if you haven’t been, but not a place I would return repeatedly.

    Makaveli consistently delivers! Their $26 pasta and wine night is a steal, especially the vodka pasta paired with a chilled red. It's a must-try for a pasta lovers on a Tuesday night and is also dog friendly!
