    So delighted with our visit and sad that we no longer have this option. It was so nice to sit and watch the sun go down eating the best seafood and being served by the best staff. Really enjoyed our time here.

    This restaurant operation is the best of its kind in Sydney and the decision of the relevant state authority to award the site lease to an untested rival is an enduring disgrace.

    Loved it. So sad that it is closing. Won’t go back. Am sure it won’t be the same. Been going for 30 years. Lost my clientele.

    There's no point telling anyone how great this venue is. It closes forever tomorrow night.

    Sadly closed as the landlord would not renew the lease. We all gave our meal a 11/10 which is the usual standard we come to expect from this fine restaurant. A sad departure from the Sydney landscape. The meals were superb, the service impeccable. Good bye sadly from us and wishing you all the success you deserve in Broome.
