We had our early dinner here. One of the restaurants with the beautiful harbour view! They offer a range of food and drink selections. The food we ordered were sweet potato burger, stir-fry noodles with prawns, crab, prawn & lobster ravioli, cotto pizza, and full pork ribs. The ribs were a little bit too sweet, but we enjoyed the ravioli, and the pizza, highly recommended if you come for dinner. The burger is just average, so a bit overpriced. Service was pretty fast, and the staff were overall polite and helpful. Overall we had a lovely night out here!

Cafe at a fantastic location. Good menu selection. Beware the entrees are huge. Service was a bit slow having to flag down a server for everything. We had the bruschetta, salt & pepper squid and chicken tacos. For mains the fish & chips and the crab, prawn & lobster ravioli. I couldn't identify the seafood inside. It was all cooked and flavoured well. Cocktails are nice too. For the location the food is reasonably priced.

This cafe has the most amazing location overlooking Darling Harbour. We went for the bottomless brunch, and had such a fun time! You get unlimited drinks for 2 hours including cocktails, wine, beer and soft drinks. Also loved that they had so many food options and portions were huge - really enjoyed the salt and pepper squid and supreme pizza. Perfect spot for a date, or weekend brunch with the girls.

The environment and service are both good. As for the food, I recommend not ordering the Asian dishes. Personally, I found the fried noodles tasted a bit strange, but the pasta and lamb shank were good.

So so food, good service, great location We ordered: - pork ribs whole rack: meat taste flat, lack of flavor. Not enough sauce for whole rack. End of ribs are dry. - prawn noodle: rice noodle is tough, not elastic. Dish has too - fettuccine Palermo: again tasting flat, it has creamy texture and flavor, but not much more - pork chop: ok dish Good service: Christmas eve staff but moved really fast and entertains our request even we can see they are straining Location: 2nd floor view to darling harbour. Can easily accommodate large events. Toilet a bit dirty and would not hold if the space was full
