This place is something else; came over here for the brunch. The view is just spectacular. Got the Breakfast Pita and coffees. I’d rate 10/10. Service is amazing as well; smiling and well spoken staff. The manager named Alfredo was very welcoming too. Highly recommended!

Great location and lovely food. Both the outdoor and indoor seating options were clean and looked after, staff were friendly and helpful. Got the bacon and egg roll supercharged, it took the best part of 5 minutes to get to the table which was fairly quick with how busy it was. Food was also fresh and caringly prepared - staff brought utensils to the table at the same time as food. Really great for the price!

This was just after a kayaking trip in the Sydney harbour and what a treat it was . Old establishment with surprisingly full tables and serving some delicious scones and coffee. I also noticed that the place had an old library and some amazing naval stories there Loved the vibe
