If you don’t see your preferred reservation time available, don’t worry! We set aside half of our restaurant for walk-ins, so you’re always welcome to drop by. Harry Gatos is a Pan-Asian bar and diner harking back to the golden era of '80s Asian eateries—the ones we all grew up with and loved. We’re having fun with our food and drinks menu, taking the classics we know and love and peppering in some Australian natives to bring it all home. With bold flavours, playful twists, killer cocktails, tap beer, and a curated wine list, Harry Gatos is the perfect spot to share a feast, have a few drinks, or just a good time after a paddle at Freshie Beach.Must-try dishes: Our prawn toast, drizzled with a wattle-seed & honey soy sauce, is a game-changer. Or dive into our rich chicken curry, infused with lemon myrtle and garnished with crispy fried curry leaves.

    We enjoyed our lunch very much. The food and service were first class. But what really sets it off is the ambience and the view looking back at Sydney.

    Agnolotti pumpkin pasta was absolutely delicious! We ordered two servings and so thankful that we did . Cotoletta Bolognese is another standout dish that I always order when I come to the Neptune Grotto. We particularly enjoyed the wonderful and attentive service provided by the team. Great selection of wine and what a great place for a dinner with friends. Highly recommend it to anyone!

    A surprising and happy find. Eclectic menu of smaller share type items with great flavours. Service was very good and friendly and there was a really happy vibe about the place. I didn't see anything on menu for kids so check that if you have younger ones. Interesting wine selection, a bit on the expensive side for what it was. Local beer was very nice. Overall a very good night out for our family reunion in Sydney
