Adria Rybar and Grill
- The Promenade, Cockle Bay Wharf , Sydney CBD NSWOverall 6 - Food 7, Ambience 6, Value 6, Service 5
Went with a group of 8 for the Unlimited Seafood special on Sunday. A bit too much batter on the fish, otherwise they were quite nice. Mussels were amazing, though in one bowl, half of the shells were empty! Our first serving of lamb was very chewy, but the next one was delicious. The ribs were enormous! Good value for $25.50 but limited choice of food. (pixiebubz - November, 2008)

Nick's Bondi Beach Pavilion
- Queen Elizabeth drv, Bondi Beach NSWOverall 6.8 - Food 7, Ambience 8, Value 7, Service 5
The seafood all you can eat was quite good - the best part was the mussels! Could've had more variety, though. Service was EXTREMELY slow - our waiter was great and I felt sorry for him as it was clearly understaffed that night. (Well, I do hope they were understaffed and not like that all the time!)

Xic Lo Vietnamese Restaurant
- 17 Spring st, Chatswood NSWOverall 5.5 - Food 8, Ambience 5, Value 6, Service 3
The food here is great, especially the Vietnamese rolls! However, a tad expensive and the waitstaff are rather inattentive and rude - we tried twice to get one's attention, and the third time she looked at us, and then looked away again! We finally had to get our extra pair of chopsticks ourselves. (pixiebubz - November, 2008)

Lenotre Afternoon Tea
- 61-101 Phillip Street st, Sydney CBD NSWOverall 4.8 - Food 6, Ambience 7, Value 3, Service 3
I went with a group of girlfriends. The waiter who "greeted" us was incredibly rude and condescending when we informed him that we had 5, not 4 people (we had called that morning to change the booking, with no problems). We waited over forty minutes for the afternoon tea to arrive, and when it did there were only four servings. Waited a few more minutes for the fifth, and when it didn't, we notified another waiter who AGAIN was almost accusing us of having an extra person and not booking ahead. Had to wait another twenty minutes for the final afternoon tea set.
The food itself was not bad, but there were only two or three savoury items; the rest were very, VERY sweet. It definitely needs more of a balance between sweet and savoury! The tea was lovely - the waitresses were wonderful in giving us information on each one listed on the menu.
The lounge was beautiful and relaxing - however, due to the waiters' horrific attitude towards us (we were not rude or demanding at all; simply informing them that we had most definitely changed our booking), we left the lounge without any thoughts of returning. (pixiebubz - November, 2008)

Citrus Espresso Bar

Service was a bit slow at times but the food is still great. Disappointed that they don't do homemade wedges anymore, though! (pixiebubz - November, 2008)
