Really just a place to fill your stomach. Very pedestrian. More

We had a good lunch here this restaurant is a stayer and has been consistent for good food and service for well over 25 years. I think that that speaks for it as well. It along with pancakes on the rocks was the first 24/7 restaurants in Sydney. I love going here each time I visit. More

This place was recommended to me by a friend, wish I had found it on earlier visits. The food is excellent as is the service. The views over the harbour just add that extra touch. More

Had eaten here a few years ago and the food was sort of non-eventful. However my partner and i found ourselves without somewhere nice to eat very late one night last week when in Sydney and knew this restaurant was open 24hours - something which did not bode well for me. He ordered the fishermans basket, and i ordered the... More

There's a huge turnover at this 'cafe' and they are open 24 hours (I assume they still are?). The staff aren't terribly friendly but are always efficient and the food is totally reliable. I don't think the menu's changed in 10 years but you always know exactly what you're going to get and that it will come out on time.... More

Really tasteless food, and bright red neon. Not a good combination, only if you cant find anything else and these days that's never. More

A huge menu - and I always have the fish and chip in a paper horn. Although the swiss meusli is also wonderful. But the icing on the cake id the opportunity to sit outside and watch the people going by - the area aroundthe ferries is always busy, and just fascinating. I have never felt as though I was... More

Went here with some friends who recommended it for dinner. The "tabloid newspaper" menu is cute and while the service was fast and efficient it lacked interaction with the customers and was quite robotic. We were seated inside downstairs which probably deprived us of a decent view from the mezzanine - the restaurant only had a few diners at that... More

Had breakfast here with my family and was VERY unimpressed. Most breakfast is served with white bread rolls with no choice of normal bread (the only bread they have is raisin toast, that to me is just weird). Scones were dry, bacon was fatty, eggs were ordinary. For the price I expected more. Quality of McDonalds or Hungry Jacks would... More
