    Lovely venue, lots going on, only thing I would suggest is, I have worked in the area since 1986, found the parking signs a little small to notice and directions from the parking station were hard to see and follow, if they were there at all. The music was a little loud for a business meeting. The service and food was superb, the staff carried sugar if more was requested. Possibly a question regarding ambience needs with the booking would help. Overall I was very happy with my experience.

    Amazing! I celebrated my anniversary and the restaurant is lovely. The food was top notch ( I recommend both the lobster pasta and the sirloin steak). The staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend dining here.

    No better place to celebrate an early Mother’s Day than lunch at Next Door on a glorious Sydney day. Entrees of ceviche and Spencer Gulf prawn cutlets, a gorgeous bottle of Riesling and our favourite Cheeseburger, Coral Trout and Osso Buco mains. First class servicefrom the wonderful duo of Oliver and Ellie ensured a perfect outing. We never fail to be impressed…thank you for having us 💖
