Description

The restaurant has both thrilled and disappointed guests with its offerings. While some have praised the stunning views of the harbor and fast, friendly service, others have been let down by the expensive prices and portion sizes. The food quality has received mixed reviews, with some diners raving about the gnocchi and ravioli, while others found the breakfast items to be lacking. Overall, it seems the ambiance and location of the restaurant are its main draws, making it a popular spot for visitors and locals alike.

The location of the place is absolutely amazing but a little more panache is required to the furniture and decor of the place ... it looked very simple compared to the other cafes and restaurants around the same area. Food was good and service was excellent...very friendly and helpful . Would definitely come back again.

We enjoyed some coffees here, a magnificent location right on Circular Quay, overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Circular Quay and cruise ship terminal. Such a wonderful location, as you'd imagine, you pay a little more for the privilege.Our coffees were lovely and the service was faultless. We reviewed the menu and saw lots of food being delivered. Food look fantastic and reasonably priced, considering the wonderful location.A really cute little historic building serves as the kitchen/restaurant and patrons enjoy the water front dining area.Would recommend it.

For cakes and a solid espresso martini, this is my favourite place offering unbeatable views. I usually get the little table by the water and sit there in the sun.  Relaxing and gorgeous all at once.

Quite lovely staff and took great care of us. Arrangements for special tables were made so we could enjoy the Opera House and the harbour bridge on the background.<br/ <br/ We gulped a couple of beers and tried their all day breakfast menu which was delicious.

Stunning views are the highlight of this alfresco boardwalk cafe on Circular Quay. You'll get amazing photos from your table... I guess that's why they charge a surchage all year round!! But nice breakky and ambience. Great for a stroll afterwards to walk off the food, enjoy the sights and sounds and say hello to the gulls and pelicans along the way as you enjoy the harbour views. Service is good. Chad Cunnington
