A great range of food and beverages. Wonderfully cooked - we've eaten there many times and the food is always superb. More

I love the food here. I've eaten here at least 5 times; I've never had a bad meal and the service is always fantastic. Love their buffets, but unfortunately it's very expensive. If you can afford it or are celebrating a special night, then go for it! You won't be disappointed. More

We went to the seafood buffet on Good Friday and were very disappointed with the whole experience. I do not like the refurbishments of the restaurant...much preferring the older, more gracious style. The tables are placed so very close together, you barely have space to move in and out...which you have to do for a buffet meal. It is quite... More

We ate here on a Saturday night which meant that we could not get a table inside the main restaurant. We were seated in a rather bleak area on a balcony outside the main area. However since the rest of Sydney was booked out we persevered - that was a lucky choice. The food was magnificent, presentation was above average... More

We didn't want a buffet so we ate off the menu. The food was very good. The buffet looked amazing. It had lobster, crab legs, oysters, everything under the sun. It was also $70 per person. In the end, I think we spent close to that ordering off the menu but my husband doesn't like buffets. We also weren't starving.... More

The buffet lunch here is great. The prawns are plentiful and very fresh. There is somethiung for all tastes. There is food from many International cuisines and the meal is well finished by the generous desert selection followed by some very nice cheese. The acoustics are great so it never seems to get too noisy. More

Breakfast was quite good for continental selection, although sadly the hot section was rather lacking in choice and options. Nice effort for some decent tea More
