Nice spot by the river. Had the grilled barramundi last night. Cooked just right, not dry at all. Staff knew the wine list well, which helped. Bit pricey, but you&#39;re paying for the location.

Popped in for the lunch special and was not disappointed. The portion was huge, I couldn&#39;t finish it all. Got the chicken schnitzel and it was perfectly crispy. Definitely a popular spot though, glad we arrived before the noon rush.

The lamb skewers were spot on, charred nicely and still juicy. The toum was a real highlight, so flavourful.

The owner and staff are efficient and friendly. My usual breakfast order is ready in under a minute, which is ideal for a quick stop before work. A reliable spot when you&#39;re short on time.

The owner really knows the food. Explained the specials in detail and how they adjusted a dish for my allergy. Still tasted spot on.

Tried the vegan set menu on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Each course felt thoughtful, not just a bunch of salads. The mushroom starter was my favourite &ndash; really savoury. Cocktails were a nice match. Good spot for something a bit different.

Guillaume was a great waiter. Really listened to my friend&#39;s allergies. The rag&ugrave; gnocchi was spot on, super rich. Wheel-cheese pasta was good too. Just a solid meal.

A solid spot for a burger in Chatswood. The patty was juicy and the bun held up well. It&#39;s a reliable choice for a quick, decent meal. The fries were a bit on the salty side this time, but overall it&#39;s pretty good.

Service was efficient. They handled us joining a friend in line without any fuss and seated us quickly.

Been coming here for years. Tried the chef&#39;s menu this time &ndash; four courses, pretty generous. The wagyu striploin was spot on. Cheesecake was a nice surprise. Solid feed.

Nice cosy spot with a real authentic vibe. The staff were very friendly and happy to help us figure out the menu, which was appreciated. Had a pretty good time here.

Cool new spot, really liked the relaxed vibe. The space feels open and airy, the seating is comfy. Perfect for just hanging out. They have some really creative coffee drinks too.

The cocktails here are pretty good and fairly priced. I had the Jungle Bird, which was a decent bitter option. The place gets a bit loud later in the evening, but it&#39;s fine for a casual drink.

Luckily we were able to change our assigned seating, which was out the front near the road. Would have been OK but the day was getting hot&hellip; we changed to an inside table near the fireplace (not needed) and with a window to the outside, from which a nice breeze came. We enjoyed it all and my two senior lady friends loved the historic ambiance.

Stumbled upon this place looking for a quiet drink. The vibe is super relaxed, exactly what I needed to escape the city noise for a bit. Just sat at the bar, had a couple. No fuss, no crowds.

Casual, family friendly pizza restaurant with delicious food and happy staff who provided excellent service. Definitely recommend if you&#39;re in the area!
