Great place at Bondi, suitable for so many different events, from Brunch, after work drinks or celebrations, staff is super friendly, the food is delish and the view is amazing!

Went here for a friend's birthday. Service was slow and champagne didn't come out until after all the other drinks and all the meals. They charged us for two bottles of champagne and we only had one, which caused a lot of stress trying to figure out the bill as we had a group of people. When we asked they took it off the bill but didn't offer any gesture of apology for the error. Definitely not returning.

All the staff were really friendly but the food was not great standard - felt like over priced bar food. The restaurant itself, drinks menu all really good just found the actual food disappointing.

we had a really good day and the good and atmosphere was so nice. but the service was extremely poor. Was a hassle every time we need attending too (ordering). the blonde British girl and the male bartender who worked Sunday were really lovely and made the experience better. but the service was very below par for the other waitresses and waiters.

Didn’t rate the $30 taco night at all, there was a blonde girl who served us who was nice but we hardly saw staff attending to tables mainly just chilling by the bar, only got offered a drink once 🤷🏽‍♀️

we had a great night, the food was beautiful and the drinks were also enjoyable. The only thing I would have to say is when we arrived no one greeted us at the door and we were left standing there for a while , no one approached us. We had to walk all the way through the restaurant and even then still no one approached us until I had to track a waitress down to announce our arrival and ask to be seated. Once we were seated we did not receive menus to be able to order drinks. Once we ordered drinks it took 20 minutes to receive. Same when we ordered a second and a third round. Apart from that the food was fabulous and we had such a great night. Music for me is a little loud to have a conversation as the speakers are directed all over the restaurant . The host on the night did apologies for the delay with our drinks orders . Next time I will ask for a balcony table as there are no speakers outside which may suit us better. We will definitely be back thank you

Emailed to say it was a special occasion- no mention of it and food took so long we didn’t get time for desert/ to sing Happy Birthday etc. The circus started when the waitress spilt the Verve and didn’t offer to replace it. Very hard to correspond with staff, mixed messages - wrong food and wine bought out. Very slow - some orders forgotten some incorrect some late. Overall a shocking and disappointing evening, hopefully someone cares enough to train staff as it costs clients to book babysitting and have a nice night out..... Maybe employ English speaking to start with would help!

I love tha place, is my second time there and the first time was very nice and service and food were great, but my second time wasn’t the same, the service was not the best, waitress didn’t come and ask how was everyone going or didn’t asknif we wanted something else, we had to raise sour hands for a little while to order the bill and the restaurant wasn’t full at all. Thank you though, great location.
