    What a lovely and unexpected quality meal. Normally when you are that close to a waterfront, food is secondary to location. But this little (literally) door in the wall opens to a very intimate dining experience (26 seats). Nice selection of wines. I had their prix fixe Savour Sydney meal, and it was perfect quantity, my beef cooked to perfection, prawns and mussels starter, yummy. I'm a solo traveller, and there was nothing awkward about being a solo female diner there. Definitely worth the stop. (And thrilled it was open on a Monday night!)

    The food and service was outstanding, however there was a large group that was very noisy, and because the restaurant is such a small space, the noise was very disturbing.

    My wife and I have dined here several times over the past 6 months or so. The food and service are always top notch! We have and continue to be taken by the happy hour menu. Great food at a greater price.

    It was a very pleasant French bistro experience. The service and server, Monique, were excellent. The food was fresh, hot and very good, with just the right time between courses. We will be back for sure!
