We had travelled from the Hunter Valley to see the Machu Picchu exhibition at the Australia Museum and were delighted that we could enjoy such a delicious lunch in the same venue. I had noted it was our anniversary when I booked so we had a front row table with views to the harbour and St Mary's cathedral. The food was very tasty. All in all very enjoyable.

The food can be a little average some times. It’s not bad, but can be underwhelming. Staff are superb - very helpful - and ambience is wonderful, with a superb view. Great prices at the bar too.
