Poor welcome on arrival with distracted staff who did not seen that bothered to have customers at all, and unfortunately that theme continued. Ordered the Degustation menu, which sounded divine, however the delivery & experience did not match the menu description. Portion sizes were very very small ( even for degustation) and food combinations did not work so well at... More

Best restaurant in Manly and sensational cocktails More

What a disappointment! We went to the Pavilion for my birthday with 10 friends and I was so embarrassed for making them go there and the experience completely ruined my birthday dinner.  We sat down at 8pm and 45 minutes later I had to go and complain that we were still without even a glass of wine. I also had... More

This restaurant has great appeal. A modern setting surrounded by wonderful water views with great food and friendly service. Standouts were the crab entree and the peking duck which was succulant and tender. However do not expect the duck to be served up as in a Chinese restaurant - this duck was served sliced with an excellent jus made from... More

Another restaurant that's trying the shared plate concept. We went there for lunch. They suggested 3 per person of the entree size. We went for 1 entree size and 2 main size. The entree size averaged $25 which wecthougjt was very overpriced for the size of the plate. We had the prawns. The flavour was amazing, very fresh but it... More

We had hoped that with such a great view that the food would be great too. Unfortunately it wasn't. It was overpriced for the tiny portions that we. The fish we had was bland and the lamb wasn't very good quality. It is worth noting that the desserts and the wine list were good but we were generally disappointed given... More

So, if you look at all these reviews you will see that everyone who has experienced the new chef and menu 'change' has been terribly disappointed ans basically there is a running theme. The new menu is a 'sharing' plate idea, however whilst they say 3 plates make up a entree and main - NO WAY. The portions are tiny,... More

I'm in counselling - our favourite restaurant has changed chef and menu, and now has the status of being our worst dining experience ever. Apparently, we visited on the 2nd night of the change. If only they had warned us of the brand new dining experience to expect when we booked. When we came the only sharing food on offer... More

I don't like to rubbish somewhere as it is someone's business that they have worked very hard to build. What I would say is this place could be massively improved by stopping the sharing platter concept and also taking the staff on a crash course in service...or just taking them all to Hugos 100 meters away who have great service...
