    This is our 4th visit in 5 months and we’re never disappointed so far. We had co-winner for dish of the night. The crab omelette is amazing with the egg omelette cooked perfectly Chinese style. The duck is roasted beautifully also in Chinese style; the meat is so tender and that orange caramel sauce is well balanced. Service is always warm and approachable. And we’re so shock and disappointed to learn that the restaurant is closing down in early August.

    Song Bird was fantastic last night. We started with the lobster/scallop spring rolls, prawn wontons in black vinegar with chilli and then the must have duck. All of them were 10/10 as were the crab omelette and steak. The drinks were all spot on as was the great service. A couple of my guests hadn't been there before but will be regulars now. See you soon.

    I thought the cocktails were very good and the food was perhaps the best we had in Australia. The waitstaff was very helpful, knowledgeable and attentive. I would return.
