    Cafe Sydney is a go to place for a treat. I booked our work xmas party months in advance due to this. 5 days before they call me and tell me they have to move our reservation 2 hours earlier as they have a function booking! This is not what you expect. This function booking was not last minute! They had poorly organised this. As a result, i9 had to try to reorganise everyone's diaries that day and we still felt rushed on the day. The service on the day was fantastic as was the food

    Food wasn’t that great, furniture was crap and uncomfortable. The acoustics make it impossible to hear the person next to you. No table cloths. Food was very basic. Nothing outstanding. Good view, but if you’re not seated at the window you see nothing. Very disappointed.
