I hired a private dining room here for my husband's birthday and overall was very happy with the experience. I was a little hesitant at first when I originally booked the room they told me their was no hire fee but then called me back a couple of nights before the dinner to let me know the girl made a mistake and there was actually a $200 fee for having your own waiter. It was too late to change venues so I went ahead with it and they gave us some complimentary wine to make up for the mistake. On the night the room they gave us was really nice and cosy. Our waiter was great. It was a busy Saturday night so there was a very very long wait on our food but it was worth waiting for. I would definatly do another function here or go for dinner anytime.

Approximate cost: $20+

I've been here a few times for drinks and have always found the staff to be friendly. Really great atmosphere with a beautiful view of the river and Story Bridge. Cocktails are a bit overpriced but there is a fantastic selection to choose from.

I really like this place - I have been on a number of occasions for a variety of different reasons, from birthday afternoons to staff dinners and always had a really great time.
It has a great location, with beautiful scenery, particularly if you can sit outside on the balcony, and is easy to get to, there is parking pretty much underneath.
The prices are as you would expect for a city type location, but not completely over the top or anything.
They rock some pretty fabulous cocktails, and their meals are generally good. Nice share plates too if you are just going for snacks with a few friends.

I went here for my birthday with 5 girlfriends. We got a great table right on the outside of the balcony with views of the river and lights. We all had tasty meals and then they gave us a free bottle of wine as we went upstairs because we stayed on with them which was nice!

Fit out was excellent. Great feel to the restaurant. Great views, amazing food. What else could you ask for? I remember visiting this place a couple of years back but the food was outstanding, I had a salad which was presented quite well. With great positioning along Eagle street pier, it is quite a nice place to have a meal before heading out for a night on the town.

joined a friend for a casual sunday afternoon, we seated ourselves after being ignored by four different staff. took forever to place a drink order, then we got hounded by each staff member to order a meal. seafood bbq was the special of the day but very disappointing overall. considering the place was 3/4 empty i would expect staff would go out of their way to give good service and encourage repeat business

We enjoyed ourselves as we were in a group. So were not paying too much attention to service. Meals were tasty,and the view great. Dont think id like it as a couple at a table though.

We had a large party booking for 7:30 dinner and did not get served the final course untill after 10:30. Yes they were very busy, but they really should have more staff o - both chefs and service staff. We ended going to the bar ourselves for drinks. However the food was absolutely devine. cannot fault it at all. The manager was extremelly apologetic regarding the delays, and did comp us some of the drinks.

The food was hit and miss - the desert was fantastic, some of the entrees great, others just the same deep fried items you can get elsewhere for half the price. Our server was fantastic though and made the event special. I ordered the laksa as my main and it was very average, though my companions raved about their steaks. Hit and miss....

It's hit and miss, some nights it has great atmosphere, the next it is dead. The location is obviously perfect, I just want it do a little more with, it just lacks something. But overall, the view is really worth going back for.
