Sneak Thief: 9/10 experience. Great view, excellent food and wine (tappanappa tiers Chardonnay is the one we got, $200 approx. very good!!!) the only thing from it not being 10/10 was the service...!
Joanna Burton: Great food and super view. Fab service. Top vibe. All 'round excellent!
Say Yie Tan: Beef tenderloin, barramundi, sydney rock oyster, seared scallop, double chocolate & lemon pudding. Every dish tastes perfect and the view is amazing ♡
