The native high tea was such a fun find! The presentation was gorgeous, like little works of art. I loved the finger lime on the salmon tartlet&mdash;that pop of citrus was everything. The wattleseed in the dessert was a cool touch too.

The seafood pasta was pretty good. Generous portion, and the sauce had a nice flavour. The pasta itself was a bit soft for my liking.

The upstairs area is a nice spot, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. It&#39;s cozy and has some charming old-world details. A good place for a quiet drink.

We found this restaurant Five years ago on our first visit to Sydney. We loved it then and after last night nothing has changed.  The atmosphere is lively and the food is superb. We have been travelling for over 40 years and P.J&rsquo;s steaks and particularly the mushroom sauce are simply the best!

The atmosphere was so cozy and intimate, perfect for a quiet dinner. I really appreciated the relaxed vibe, it felt like a real treat without being stuffy. A lovely spot for a special meal.

Been coming here for years now. The food&#39;s always been solid, never had a bad meal. The veggies are still fresh, portions are still big. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Pad Thai here is my new go-to. The portion is huge, easily enough for two meals. I ended up taking half of it home for lunch the next day.

The bacon and egg roll is pretty good, and the coffee&#39;s always spot-on. Staff are efficient, even with the construction nearby.

The staff here are so chill and helpful. We wanted to split a few dishes and they were totally cool with it, made everything so much easier. Really nice vibe.

Grilled fish burger was solid. Fish had a good sear, crispy outside and moist inside. Turkish bread held up well, lettuce was fresh. A reliable lunch option near the office.

Got here early, snagged a window seat with a great river view. Perfect for a quick lunch break. Staff were friendly, explained the menu well. Food came out fast even when it got busy. Solid spot for a quick bite.

The veal schnitzel with mushroom sauce was really tasty. The place upstairs in the QVB is a good spot.

The tuna salad was just right, and the coffee is always good. But what really stood out was how friendly the staff were. They made the whole visit feel so easy and relaxed.

Been here a few times. The red curry is a winner - not too hot, just a good depth of flavour. Staff are always friendly. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed spot for a quiet meal.

Family feast for $79. Ribs and wings had a good glaze. Burgers and chips were fine. Just a lot of food, maybe too much for us.

The broth in the pho was the real star - warm, comforting, and packed with flavor. Good size bowl for the price, too.

The Greek tasting plate is a steal. The lamb skewers were so tender, and that tzatziki dip!

Loved the enchanted forest vibe on the rooftop, all the floral decor is so pretty. The drag show was really fun, and the hosts were great. A lovely, relaxed spot for a drink.

The coffee here is so good. I just sat with my cup, watching the light shift across the floor. It was the quiet kind of busy. A perfect pause in the middle of the day.

Came for the slow-cooked beef &amp; mushroom pie. It was so good, I actually went back the next day for the beef and mash version. The owner&#39;s a real friendly guy, makes the place feel like a proper local spot.

Cool little spot with a real local vibe. The walls are covered in music memorabilia, which gives it a unique atmosphere. It&#39;s small and intimate, good for a casual catch-up.

The bar staff, especially Rahul, knows his stuff. He suggested a drink that paired really well with the food, no fuss, just a solid recommendation.

Great spot for families. The kids&#39; play area kept mine entertained for ages. Ordered the pizza from the kids&#39; menu, decent size and they loved it. Prices are fair for what you get.

The coffee was really good, and I appreciated the fresh, quality ingredients in the sandwich. The small tables are fine for a quick coffee, but it did feel a bit cramped when trying to enjoy a proper meal.

The weekly specials are so creative, and I love that they always use fresh, seasonal ingredients. Perfect for a post-beach treat!

Solid spot for a quick coffee meeting. The almond croissant was fresh, coffee was strong. Good view of the water. A bit pricey for the portion, but the location is convenient.

Love the spot on a sunny day, but it gets packed. Waited a bit for a table. The online ordering was a lifesaver when the queue for coffee was long.
