    A Fantastic Dining Experience at Above 8 We had the pleasure of dining at Above 8, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious—we couldn’t fault a single dish. We enjoyed pan-fried barramundi, chicken supreme, and for dessert, the vanilla cheesecake with raspberry and raspberry sorbet, along with the indulgent Valrhona Delice. Every bite was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. To complement our meal, we sipped on Little Goat Creek Sauvignon Blanc and Quilty Shiraz, both excellent choices that elevated our dining experience even further. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles, and the exceptional service continued throughout the night. The staff truly made our evening special. If you're looking for a fantastic restaurant with amazing food, great wine, and outstanding service, Above 8 is a must-visit! Highly recommended.

    Tuesday night was excellent as usual. We have been dining at Theatre Bar since before the Wharf upgrade occurred (years before COVID) and it has never disappointed. Food quality always great and bar/table staff pleasant and efficient. The ambience is always fabulous seeing the harbour and bridge through the windows. Cheers!
