I have such mixed feelings about this place. Parts of my experience were fantastic, while others…read morewere underwhelming. The easiest way to explain may be a pros/cons situation. Pros: good location, beautiful views, friendly service. This is definitely the weirdest restaurant experience I've ever had in terms of service - you have to wait to be seated, but then you have to go back upstairs to order your food, bring a buzzer with you downstairs through the garden, and then when your buzzer goes off - back upstairs, gather your hot plates, and bring them to your table on your own. I feel like if you are eating on actual plates (not takeaway style dishware), and you have to wait to be seated... you should have a server. This situation seemed so weird to me. Either way, the people working here are very friendly. Cons: Food is expensive, which isn't a problem, but you are definitely paying for the view, not good food. However, even with a nice view, a $26 spaghetti with cherry tomatoes seems over the top to me. My boyfriend got the fish and chips, and we were both unimpressed with the food. It wasn't terrible, and we were hungry, so we have no regrets, but if you're coming here to chill and enjoy the view - eat before you come. For food and one drink each, my bf and I paid over $80. Bottom line: visit for a drink and a look at the view. Skip the food. Tables are nice and big, so it's a great place to meet up with friends.

It is not gourmet but if you are driving through Royal and want a pleasant and unpretentious lunch or a good quick cup of coffee this is a good choice.

Price is normal for a Thia restaurant. It is getting popular so best to book. For something different, order it to take away and head over to Bald Hill and overlook the Illawarra or take it down to Stanwell Park beach. (If you take this option you are best to pack you own cutlery or take you picnic set to help enjoy meal) Tips: Try the Crazy rolls for an entree. The signature dish BBQ Chicken is the best nut sauce around. The Honey Chicken is not what you expect and is a great surprise.

My husband and I made the long trip down on a Saturday night, feeling lucky that they were able to squeeze us in....as they sounded so busy on the phone; unfortunately it was lie. When we arrived there was no one around, we had to wait for a straggler staff member who looked like she'd rather jump off the cliff out back than work the bar. We entered the venue to be met by a lonely table and a large spastic birthday party of what could only be described as Wollongong's finest.....you know, the ones you see loitering outside centrelink crying about a hard life but refuse to find any sort of employment. Again, i should've taken this as a sign to leave. We sat down and ordered the salt and peper calamari.....the whole time my instincts screaming at me to leave; but i sadly ignored it. Our entree came out....what should've been crispy, crunchy tender flavoursome squid was strips of chewy calamari swimming in grease; served with a shop bought hot mayonnaise. Our mains weren't far behind....again, i have remorse for not trusting myself and now suffer from ptsd for enduring such horid food. My main was filet of beef.....it should've been seasoned, succulent and juicy, served with mashed potatoes and a medley of vegetables. However it sadly was not. It was a rare, seasonless piece of cow that died and slopped on my plate. You'd think a "chef" would've shown some respect towards the animal and atleast season it. The mash was cold.....like my heart at this point and the vegetables???? Well its like they threw whatever was going to go in the bin that night onto my plate. Grilled tomatoes? Screw it throw it on the plate, asian greens?? Eh fuck it, throw it on there to. Sauce???? Make sure its stone cold. The lack of care of my dinner was only met by the missing salt and pepper shakers and the servers....at this point i felt i wanted to jump off the cliff behind the dark, dated restaurant whos carpark looked like a pefect place to be sexually assaulted. I disgress, now my husbands main of grilled barramundi....well ladies and gentlemen; if you'd like to have to stop half way home to throw up your stomach contents and contemple suicide then please order their barramundi. Fish was not grilled, not really sure what it was besides cold, served with mashed potatoes that were mixed with salad. Yes, it is as though the "chef" in all his divine wisdom thought "hey.... why just have cold mash, when i can mix left over salad into it". Please stay away from this restaurant, there's a reason it's not lite up at night and has a retarded entry and carpark. Its pretty much telling you its not worth it entering.....just like the cheap hooker you'd take there to feel loved. Also not worth the sickening regret the next morning.

Want an venue with amazing views, panorama house is the place for you, sitting at stanwell tops,…read morethis place offers the most picturesque views, it easy to see why so many people have their wedding reception, or functions here. Having a Christmas party here was a very good deal, we had 90 people in the small room, had entrees, mains and a desert and unlimited beer wine and spirits all for $70 per head. The tables were magnificently decorated and the food was to die for, Entrees were an option of chicken and mushroom vol au vent or prawn cocktail. Dinner was roast lamb served in bacon and a rich gravy sauce or chicken on mash, Desert was option of crime brûlée with biscotti, honey cheese cake or brandy snap basket and berry ice cream. Over all this place is lovely and I would definitely recommend it to people. Not much you can fault for this place.
