What Sandra Deckow likes about Ensemble Theatre Restaurant - Bayly's:
What a superb location, tad expensive but well worth it, fantastic views of Balmoral Beach. One of the family had phoned from the Uk and organised champagne to be served as we arrived. The waiters were very helpful and well organised. Well done Guys!!! Will...deffo book this venue again View all feedback. What Enos Leffler doesn't like about Ensemble Theatre Restaurant - Bayly's:
The theatre restaurant, now called Baylys, made us wait over 80 minutes before producing two main meals, one of which was inedible and sent back. No time to eat anything else before the show started. At least the show was okay. View all feedback.

Visit to Darling Bay a must, stopped for dinner at the waterside , with steak and the trimmings, watching the world go by

Bayly's Ensemble Waterfront Restaurant has been a beloved dining spot for Ensemble Theatre regulars for over 20 years. However, recent experiences have indicated a decline in value for the money, with rising prices, lackluster service, and overly complicated dishes. Despite some positives like well-prepared entrees and a lovely waterfront setting, it seems that patrons may be looking elsewhere for their pre-theatre dining experience. Nevertheless, the intimate nature of the theatre itself continues to draw in guests for a complete night out, making it a favored venue for many theatre enthusiasts.

A local treasure. The Ensemble does wonders on its small stage . An intimate theatre with panoramic views from its bar and bistro.

Such a unique theatre, just the right size not to big, being so close to action is something to experience. Every show I have seen has been memorable.
