I started with the pork belly for my appetizer, and it was delicious. I'm now looking forward to my main course and dessert, and I believe it will only get better from here.

Unfortunately, I wish I had. Other reviewers have already highlighted the key issues. The food was mediocre and quite overpriced, the service was extremely slow, and it was difficult to get anyone's attention. Additionally, the noise level was surprisingly high for such a large establishment.

However, the pasta itself was quite enjoyable. The grilled snapper fillet, topped with a sun-dried tomato pesto, lacked proper seasoning, and the sauce had more of a soup-like consistency. We tried the dessert tasting platter, but there was nothing noteworthy to mention about it either. Overall, the meals were quite bland and average, with no standout flavors. The only highlight of this restaurant is its spacious interior and beautiful building located by the water, providing a lovely view of Cockatoo Island — making it a great spot for a weekend brunch with loved ones.

The service started a bit strange as the staff were scrambling for menus by taking 2 menus from our table as the birthday girl hadn't arrived yet so when they did arrive no menus could be found initially. The menus did arrive back in the end after having to asking for them. The staff seemed overwhelmed even though the restaurant wasn't full it was just like any other Sydney restaurant on a sunny Sunday. The meals were not outstanding just on the top end of average by that I mean not exciting.

The service was a bit lackluster; they forgot a few items and the food was served somewhat cold. However, the dishes we had still tasted quite good, and the location is excellent.
