    This is a lovely place to have a meal, coffee, dink, whatever. Beautiful views of the harbour, varying, depending on where you are seated. I'm a pensioner so the meal prices are a bit stiff, but some meals are better value: the pasta, the fish.

    We took our overseas visitors to a Sydney Festival Show The outlook and room are wonderful The food was very average - dips OK but not enough flatbread, overcooked calamari with too much chilli powder on it and fish and chips average, chips warm only

    Our male waiter was so accommodating when we needed biscuit and the queue was very long. Thank you young man for such great service. We did not have to wait for the food too long.
