We were looking forward to eating at Bill's - it all looked ok and I guess it was just that: 'OK' Average food, average service - it felt like there was no enthusiasm around the place. Wagyu burger was fine, salmon tartine was very average - all quite bland really. We saw other tables struggling to get coffee ordered, everything... More

We waited 45 minutes for our food in a restaurant that was only half full when we arrived. Thank goodness the food was great because the service was shocking!!! Apparently the chef was too busy making accompaniments to cook our meals!

We ordered main meals and they arrived in a timely fashion and were well prepared and tasty. The staff were helpful and professional.The meals cost an average of about $22. We were asked if we would like... More

Breakfast, lunch & dinner - all in 2 days!! Yes, my 80 year old mum just loved the ambience of Bills over the Easter weekend - service, food, staff just great. Loved those ricotta pancakes.

Beyond the celebrity chef and the queue to get in (it took me ages to try out this place for I refuse any stress and waiting around in my Saturday brunch ritual) this place is a winner: the space is simple, bright and relaxing, the service efficient and 'calming', the menu fantastically simple but delicious. Had scrambled eggs on sourdough... More

We waited approx 20min and I had corn pancakes! It was good breakfast and coffee. We really loved the atmosphere, good location. Personally its really good place to go with some one special!? Price is very high but its Bill's. Many customers were tourists. Good breakfast, coffee, atmosphere love to return some day..

In short, everything was good, not bad not exceptional. Best part of the experience was meeting the next door table of two Americans @ their travel experiences

There is always a queue to get into Bills but it worth the wait for the delicious breakfast. We only had to wait about 15 minutes.. I had the ricotta hotcakes with honeycomb butter, just divine,on another occasion I had the corn fritters with bacon which is also yummy. My husband had the lovely creamy rich scrambled eggs.

My husband and I love running out. Whenever we go to Sydney it's always a teat to go to one of the Bill's restaurants for breakfast. This is the first time we went to the Bill's at Surry Hills - soooo glad we did! They by far have the best chief and device out of the 3 in SYD, well... More
