We unfortunately were disappointed with service from this restaurant .. we waited at least 10 mins for our drinks before having to ask where they were before ordering our meals. Then we ordered our meals only to not receive all our food we had ordered. We had ordered 2 separate starters and only received 1 so that went cold while waiting .. then the mains and sides were served and told the other starter is on its way but never arrived. Then to top this off one of the mains never got served to the table either. Very disappointed. After 10 mins naturally thought will mention it to the waiter when they ask how everything is but unfortunately that never happened either as we were given no interaction from the staff at all until we were finished eating what we had shared of what had been served to the table.

We paid the extra $50 for a nice window seat and it was worth for the great views of the Bridge and the Opera House. The good was very nice as well. Great service.
