Booked outside at Next Door. Being outside there is no problem with too much noise. We were seated as we arrived and our overseas guests arrived shortly afterwards. The staff were great and as always we enjoyed the food I ordered. We had shared entrees and we ordered mains.

Love bills at Bondi. Overall super great service - even if a mistake is made, it is rectified with grace and kindness. Food is beautiful and the subtle music creates ambience without interfering with conversation and the artworks are so great and eclectic. Always love it there, one of our absolute favourite places to go.
