my wife and I were visiting Sydney during the Vivid Festival. During this period the menu was a Set Menu at the Restaurant. There was two different menus, one was $99 and the other was$120. We chose the $120 menu. My personnel opinion was that the meal was not up to a $120 per person level. We have eaten at The Squires Landing Restaurant in the past and it was excellent. I believe the set menu option is not the way to go. It will not deter us from eating there again when we visit Sydney in the future.
