Beautiful location and good atmosphere. A much more relaxed boaty vibe. Food was well priced. The tasting menu looked appealing for $65pp but due to not eating red meat, there would be too many changes so we opted to order from the menu. Food was good in portion size. Everything was just ok, nothing amazingly special but just ok. Highlight for me was dessert. I'm a sweets lover and the tiramisu and Nutella Bombs were great! <br/ Waitstaff need more training. The one bloke with the glasses and shaved head, probably head waiter was excellent, asked us about our meal and described the dishes. Other staff not so great; forgetting wine, share plates etc. if all staff were trained like this bloke the experience would hVe been a 4/5 not a 3.5/5.<br/ Would like to see a few more specials added if I were to come back. <br/

Comfortable seating even though too close to each other and great food. Went for the Degustation menu and wasn't disappointed. Tasty and freshly cooked dishes, well decorated. Friendly service. Coffee wasn't that great though but probably personal.

We shared the mains; Charcoal spatchcock peperonata sauce with smoked capsicum rosemary and angus (marble 5 , caramelised onions with rocket.... and tiramisus for dessert!... with my typical double espresso.. of course : <br/ <br/ Capriccio bresaola was fantastic! Spatchcock and steak prepared perfectly... simple flavours makes a perfect dish when ingredients are respected as should.<br/ <br/ Tiramisu was a real honest tiramisu. Not any kind of new fancy version that is probably ruined with trying to be too fancy. Just loved it. Keep food real and its good.<br/ <br/ They also have nice wines.. ask from staff. Really good, fast, professional service. Knowing their food well.<br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ Revisited 1.6.2017<br/ <br/ Had baby snapper, yellowfin tuna and squid for starters. All great, still keeping #4 as rating. Great place!

I mean, where else would you rather be on a warm summer evening in Sydney? We were lucky to snag the best table by the water, despite booking just 10 minutes before. The restaurant was packed, but we still managed to feast on baby snapper with olives, grapes, and capers, as well as Black Angus with caramelized onions and rocket salad. And to top it all off, a delicious tiramisu. Who cares if the service is a bit slow? I'm relaxed and enjoying the sunset.

We arrived at 6pm and decided to try the Chef's sharing feast priced at $65 per person, which seemed like a good deal. Since we were the first customers of the evening, we were seated right away and our food and drinks arrived promptly. We started with house made crusty sourdough with olive oil, followed by bruschetta, slow cooked veal in tuna mayonnaise, and crispy fried squid. The sourdough was too hard to eat comfortably, but the bruschetta and squid were delicious. I didn't love the veal with mayo, but it was tasty when eaten in moderation. For our mains, we had a tomato pasta with wagyu beef, grilled king prawns, and grilled chicken with corn. The pasta was a bit salty and we didn't finish it, but the prawns were excellent and the highlight of the meal. We ended with a dessert platter of Nutella donuts and cannoli, which were good but not outstanding. The table service was excellent and the view of the sunset over the marina and cliff houses was magical. While the food wasn't extraordinary, it was a pleasant experience overall and I would recommend it for special occasions.
