    Second time dinning here and felt very rushed as thought the staff were trying to get us in and out. Food was nice but not worth how much we paid. Quality has defiantly dropped off since our first visit.

    The food was great and of course the view is amazing but the service was terrible. Took a while before we were offered a drink initially and only after we flagged down a wait person. Mains were brought out immediately after our starter plates were cleared.

    Very disappointed I booked this for my wife’s birthday , we were halfway through are starter and are main course was brought out when I pointed out the fact that we hadn’t finished are starters they took them away and two minutes later and brought them back and put them on the table so we had to finish our starter and then go straight onto a main course no apologies and then after we finished are meal nobody came to the table to ask if you want any more drinks or we wanted any desserts so we had to go and get somebody to get the bill I really would not recommend this restaurant to anybody it really spoiled our night .

    There was a misunderstanding with the menu I was hoping for normal-sized prawns as they were king prawns but the waiter stated that they were shrimps which I got confused about, along with miscommunication involved as I am Deaf myself. But the other is the restaurant was lovely also I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of watching the performance of Australia Day! 🎉

    Have always loved the upstairs restaurant and enjoyed many fabulous meals there. Unfortunately thw usual high level of service even on the busiest days was missing at our table yesterday. The only positive was the view and the pavlova dessert. Menu lacked excitement of the past. So disappointed we doubt we will ever return.
