fabulous views for this upmarket seafood restaurant. excellent service compliments what is a great menu. this all does not come cheap which is my biggest gripe. if you are not a seafood lover then they do have steaks and other meals which are also excellent.

paradiso is a very cute little cafe / restaurant. italian style with terrific food. excellent coffee and very modern decor. the menu is written in italian on a chalkboard which can be annoying as the waiters spin off the menu translation which gives barely enough time to really choose what you want to eat making the service a bit frustrating . expensive but great quality food

this deli come cafe is a really beautiful space. a few tables in and out make for a truly European time and with one of the best coffees in Sydney i love to sit here and sip on a coffee whilst eating one of the great pastries they also sell. also a deli with a cheese room you can grab some lavish foods on your visit. service is excellent too.. only wish it was cheaper

the new beresford pub is defintely a big improvement on the old. you can have a drink at the bar or sit down for a proper meal at the dining room. a funky modern style decor with a good ambience. the food is ok i had lamb and was quite tasty. the drinks are expensive and that was annoying but the service was friendly and overall i had a nice lunch

Otto's was started by a friend of mine many years ago and he did a great job as the head chef to get it where it is . he has since moved on but the food is still excellent and with a fantastic selection of pasta's and met dishes like angus beef you really are spoilt for choice. the location is really cosmo and exciting. the service is excellent and also a great wine list .. prices are steep but well worth it

i have my hair removed here and once had a facial given to me as a gift. the hair removal is almost painless and the results are excellent. they do look after you here and i have never had any burns or issues post hair removal. the facial was also nice but not my thing but was still professional and relaxing

Unas has been here forever. i have eaten here countless times for a quick Austrian schnitzel meal which they do very well. The servings are humongous and the food does taste good. the service used to be better with the original owner but she is gone and now its not so great.

ok so this place gets busy and you need to wait often. a small place well set up with modern vibe. food is great and we had a birthday dinner here and we were well looked after considering how busy it was. food did take some time but we were happy with the quality of the food which was excellent . the service was friendly and professional despite a few minor glitches which were addressed quickly well worth trying
