Thought it would be something special, but was pretty mediocre. Have often walked past and thought it looked nice, but unfortunately the food did not live up to appearances.
I love Blue Ginger! One of my favourite places to dine. Nice cosy atmosphere and can get quiet even on weekdays. I recommend it to anyone wanting good quality indian food. Do expect to pay a little more than usual, but mostly well worth it for consistent, good quality food.
Curries are delicious and not oily like in other places. If you feel like trying something new I would recommend trying it a Blue Ginger. Recommend their Lamb cutlet entree.
Service is friendly and efficient most of the time. A long time ago we had a bad night and the staff did not seem too apologetic, but we have been back since, and have never had a repeat of this bad service. Can get quite busy and recommend making a reservation on weekends.
Tasty steak (and delicious pepper sauce), with an option for smaller portions for those of us with a smaller appetite or who want to save room for dessert. Modern wood decor with red trimmings and option of eating indoors or on the deck. Both times I have eaten here in the evenings it has been packed. Prices could be cheaper for an isolated location.
I have just joined Oztion and its great there no listing fees like Ebay and the final value fees are cheaper. The customer service is outstanding. I would highly recommend this site to anyone who wants to buy or sell goods.
Two visits to Catalina and also discussed with a few friends about the overall experience here.
1. Fantastic location, brilliant view and pleasant fit-out with linen cloths and comfortable chairs.
2. Great food, equivalent to the one hat status.
3. The service was very attentive, the atmosphere perfect, and food delicious.
Pancakes on the Rocks is the best place to go, especially now it's open 24 hours a day. And it's not just Pancake desserts! There's pizza, steak, crepes, breakfasts and all are available all the time!
The service isn't too bad, but that seems to be a trend these days with these 24 hour places. However, the food is definitely worth waiting for. The serves were HUGE, especially at an average of $13.
It's situated at the Rocks right under the Harbour Bridge so after dinner you can go for a walk along the water which is the perfect thing to do on a nice evening when your tummies are stuffed full!
Approximate cost: $13.00
What a great restaurant it is now since the refurb. The food here has always been excellent but now the ambience matches the food. For food & service it is a stand out in the area, and well worth a visit. Be prepared for a bit of noise, which seems normal for Thai restaurant these days, but if going for lunch or early evening, ask for a table out the back!
Have been to Waterfront at least 10 times and as you would expect, this place has a fantastic view, with options to sit outside or inside. On this occasion, we were seated indoors, but next to a large window which offered expansive views of the harbour. The waitstaff were quite attentive, but service levels did seem to drop as the day went on. The quality of the food is of the standards you would expect from this place, high quality and the serving sizes were quite generous.
Drawn by the hype and the spectacular location, my husband and i dined at Aria for his birthday. We were seated comfortably at a table with an excellent view of the Bridge and the Opera House. The wait staff were very professional, helpful and friendly.
The food was a big disappointment. I ordered the oysters for entree which were served with a "vichyssoise mousse" which tasted like French onion dip and completely overpowered the flavour of the oysters. The mushroom sauce on the steak main was so salty I could barely finish my meal. My partner had a more pleasant experience with the Hapuka fish main but commented that it was nothing spectacular. Despite the excellent service it was overall a very disappointing experience. I won't be going back.
All I can say is wow. The food was unbelievable. The degustation "$200PP" menu was simply awesome. I was taken here for my birthday and was fantastic. The journey the 12 courses takes you on is simply amazing. I also had the accompanied wine selection "$100 extra" with each plate and it really was an experience to the taste sensations on offer.
I am very happy I was not footing the bill here. Elegence supreme from start to finish. The service was impeccable. It was worth the experience.
