Mietta's Review
A priveledged space from which to view the harbour, its bridge, Opera House and the city. An attractive room with big water-watching windows, cool colours, wooden tables and chairs. Good modern Australian food from chef, Brett Deverall (ex-Mezzaluna) come at harbour-view prices (mains $29-$36). This coupled with professional service and a competent wine list make this a good choice for a business lunch or quiet dinner.
