      Food wonderful. Different presentation on the plate which works well artisitically and tastes delicious. Portions small. Service remote. Didn't have the wine we ordered. We sat at the end of the restaurant on a winter's evening and it was freezing. When I mentioned this noone seemed to care. So I put my coat on. 14 points Simon Thomsen? I'm not so sure how you added them up.

      Somehow my reservation was lost. Fortunately, being a Monday evening there were plenty of tables. We were shown to a table quite isolated from other diners and suffered from a lack of service as a consequence. I would have liked a bottle of wine with our main course, but nobody asked me after the first drink was ordered and the wine list whisked away. The food was good, not great, and arrived on cold plates which were not welcome on this cold winter evening. I'll go back and try again in summer.

      excellent venue, very good food and excellent service. The restaurant has undergone recent renovations and we were shown around, very impressive and an improvement. Graham

      We had a terrific time at Sails. We only stayed in Sydney for three nights and our first night was very memorable experience. Nick Gale

      Having been a michelin critic for some time (now since retired) I can honestly say I have met the best maitre d' in my years of dining. Mark was simply phenomenal. Nothing was too much trouble and his knowledge of wines second to none. I was so impressed that I returned a week later to find him not there and an ineffective and totally inadequately trained replacement (Sam) in his place what a bad decision to let him go. If anyone knows where Mark is follow him!!!!

      Better use of the layout would give a better feel of the place - bit dark and stark - need something to make it look more finished - art / soft furnishings / texture. Good place, could be fantastic.

      First class attention and food - Will be back!

      Service was unobtrusive but attentive; Food was to die for, best duck I have ever eaten; Undeniably the premier location on the harbour; made an ordinary night into a most special occasion.

      Could not fault them at all... Great food & obviously location as well. But all was well complimented by the fantastic customer service. Meals came out quickly & always with a smile & that just makes you feel welcome & comfortable. The Tasting Plate is a great way to start the meal. Well done Claire & Team, thank you for a wonderful evening.
