Devon Barangaroo is located in the city within 15 minutes walk from Westfield Sydney. The salmon was delicious as with the soft serve with fries. This place fills up fast so go early. Ended up to be quite a pricey cafe brunch, but worth it.

Is it even legal to charge $20 per person for a simple reservation for eight? On the day of my reservation, my group was seated outside, which I hadn’t been informed about when I booked the table. The restaurant is in a very windy location, and I had specifically requested to be seated indoors. I was told that my group couldn’t be accommodated inside due to another reservation, but it was frustrating to see that those tables remained empty even after we left. I had an elderly woman with me who shouldn’t have been sitting outside in the cold. When we asked for a blanket and heat lamps, the staff member handed us the blanket while rolling her eyes. On a positive note, our server was fantastic—he was truly the only good aspect of our experience. If it weren't for the outrageous $20 charge per person, I doubt I would have chosen to dine here at all.

The weekend reservation process could use some improvement. While one of the servers was excellent, the others appeared rushed and lacking in interest. read more The weekend reservation process could use some improvement.
