Hi Mary-Lou I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. A prompt and pleasant pre-theatre dining is experience is something that we try and promise to all our guests and we clearly fell short here. Thank you for taking the time to write to us and we hope we can make things right with your next visit.

We ordered the beef fillet which was prepared perfectly- not over cooked & served with a potato accompaniment & broccoli. The perfect size & the perfect taste.

Conveniently located at the end of the Wharf 4/5 complex, immediately next to Wharf 1 & 2 theatres – albeit a longish walk in from the street. That said, the walk is lined with wonderfully memorable theatre photos, so it ends up being a theatre-lover's ramble, rather than an arduous walk. The atmosphere is casual and vibrant, with magnificent views of the bridge, harbour, and marine traffic. Magic. It's worth allowing more time than you think, both because it can be busy, and, it's worth relaxing and soaking it all up. The outside area is marvelous, and even on our winter, 12 degree night, the overhead heaters kept us quite warm. While busy, we found the time between ordering food at the bar, and delivery, to be very reasonable. The drinks and food menu is comrehensive enough to cater for all tastes I would say. Based upon our meals, the food quality is good. Leaving desert until after the show can work well, but check on show finish time etc etc with the staff before you assume that it will work. The staff we encountered were super friendly, obliging, and competent. It's hard to find fault with this establishment, which in my view is a perfect accompaniment to a night at the STC Wharf 1 and 2. Well done team.
