This is our 4th visit and we’re lucky to see chef Perry in the kitchen every time. The restaurant is full with dynamic vibe. Friendly attentive service as always. Quality food produce with excellent cooking churn out tasty dishes. I love the garlic bread and boiled greens - something simple but done great and almost perfect. My partner love the flourless chocolate cake - she reckoned it’s the best since Merivale’s Lorraine’s Patisserie has closed. The signature dishes were tuna with avocado cream and wagyu rump with anchovy butter - so tasty that we both keep praising it and want more. However we’re a bit let down by the pearl perch - it’s a bit overcooked. Overall another great dining experience and we for sure will return.

The view was breathtaking. The food and staff were excellent. It was not hard getting to Bondi from Sydney the day after New Year. We took a walk along the Bondi - Cooge beach walk before dinner. Highly recommend the walk. I will definitely go back. No view tops the view we had. My mom had a lovely birthday dinner. The staff made it extra special.
