It's currently located in the historic Grace Hotel, and will apparently be moving to the Pitt Street area in just a few weeks. Gayle, Mark, Jennifer, and I recently met here for dinner. On couple went for the pizza, while the other did pasta, with a bottle of red wine all around. The portions were generous, the conversation sparkling, and the service friendly and fun. It was one of those evening where the total exceeded the sum of its parts, especially when meeting up with old friends after a too long absence.

My go-to order is the campanelle arrabbiata. The fresh pasta is amazing, the sauce is spicy and full of flavour, and the bread on the side is perfect. It's always made fresh and tastes so good every single time. The vibe is chill, the service is quick, and the food hits the spot. If you love pasta, you can't go wrong here.

But on weekends, they would set up a cook to order takeout stall right outside the entrance. Here you can order freshly shucked BBQ oysters @$3.00 a piece and BBQ Squid Skewers. These are much fresher and better than anything you can find inside the fish market. Grilling seafood do bring out the freshness and added smokiness which I really enjoyed! And I prefer my oysters freshly shucked! Great place to get some fresh seafood as a snack before fighting the hungry tourists inside the various Seafood joint inside the Market!

The idea behind this small restaurant chain goes back to the late 1950's when some Aussies went on…read morea road trip across the US of A. They noticed the popularity of pancakes on the menus in American restaurants and wanted to bring that love of pancakes to Australia. They opened their first restaurant in Adelaide in 1965 and then opened around Victoria. The original founders separated with one moving to Sydney and opening Pancakes On The Rocks. Since that time, the chain shrunk, revived, and then added to the menu. We came here for a late breakfast or early lunch with our Australian friends, who had fond memories in their youth of this small chain. In fact, one mentioned getting kicked out of a location many years ago. Fortunately for her, the statute of limitations has run out and there is no "banned" list in existence. :) Among the crowded dining room, we managed to snag a nice big booth, and settled in. Our friends wasted no time heading to the pancake part of the menu and ordering sweet selections that I'm sure would max out my A1C number. Their portions were huge and they dug right in. Gayle and I were boring, and each ordered a Chicken Caesar Salad, which were quite good and plentiful. And yes, beer and wine go with salad and pancakes! Our wait person was fun and playful, and everything moved through our stay quite well. There's a QR code option, but we still like to order from a tactile menu.

The host seats you and you can order using the QR code or at the podium. The pancakes were very delicious but, the bacon reminded me more of ham but tasted like bacon.

Overall if I went back for breakfast I would only order the pancakes.

I thought the wait and C raving about how good this place is meant it was good, well IMO....NOPE. Ordered the following items: Zha Jiang Noodles - eh, probably the worse I have tried. Stir Fried Clams with X.O sauce - wanted a better flavour Xiao Long Bao Pork - okay the skin is way thicker than DTF and not sure if there is DTF, why go to this place. However, I don't recommend DTF in Westfield Chatswood. Dipping sauce for this sucks too. Nothing to put your sauce in and no offer of fresh ginger. Steamed Lion's Head meatball with Crab - I've tried other versions of this and this is the only thing I didn't mind. It didn't wow me, but I appreciate the homey feel of this dish. Pork Belly Steamed Buns - OMG and this is not a good way. I can't with these buns here - disgusting. Pork Belly is super dry and it's supposed to be Pork Belly and the cucumber was cut too thick and too dry tasting as well. Worse buns ever too! I don't get this place nor the high reviews.
