"We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Quay, selecting the degustation menu with matching wines. Small portions however could not not get to finish everything! Service was brilliant, food Devine and views amazing. Not cheap but an exceptional treat. (Susan, Oct 2010)"

"Food very disappointing. Bland and portions were insulting. Location breathtaking and service excellent but what's the point if you go home hungry. Cannot understand what would make anyone go back a second time." more reviews
