That was not an issue but the service fell off from there. She said she was bringing clean plates for the pallela but forgot, I guess. She also forgot 2 beers we ordered and the omelette dish. The food we did have was actually good. Then she brought napkins for our churros and 25 minutes later our churros never came. I went inside to pay. Our server was sitting and eating dinner. I asked about our missing items, especially the churros, my favorite dessert and she said the kitchen forgot. She didn't seem to care but I am still really unhappy. I travelled 17 hour by airplane to enjoy this meal (just arrived from San Diego, California) and this was a disaster!

If you're looking for a comfortable and beachy bar which offers a cool place to sit and enjoy the…read moresea breeze.. look no further. Located on the main strip of restaurants and shops on The Strand, is the little sister of Jah Bar in Manly. Jah Bar in Dee Why is across the road from Dee Why Beach. My friend recently moved to Dee Why and Jah Bar is her new regular. Jah Bar serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The wine list is ample and they have a good cocktail list too. We tried the fish tacos, salt & pepper squid, croquetas and patatas bravas. The fish tacos were the star dish with a crisp taco shell that delicately held the kingfish. The flavours were fresh and delicious. Since my visit to Jah Bar I have learned that their food is sourced locally (oh yeah, looking after our local farmers) and all seafood is fully sustainable. Big tick of approval here. It's so important to source sustainable seafood and buy produce from local sources where possible. My friend shouted lunch (thanks babe) so I can't comment on the final bill but plates start at $12 each and the most expensive is $20. In summary a nice place to stop for a drink or have a meal. Will be heading back to Jah Bar after a swim at Dee Why Beach for a refreshing cocktail and fish tacos.

So this time round, now that I am merely counting down the days to a nursing home tub chair, we settled on something here in Sydney. That we are soon off to Madrid made me long for Spanish food but our morbid dread of overpriced, cod ordinary tapas, nearly steered us clear of that culinary quest. Then we found Postales... Stereotypical to my sexuality though it may be, I do not gush easily and give out full marks even less but here, we found the perfect romantic place to eat. The glorious architecture of what looked more like the crypt of a great cathedral than a reconfigured old post office, the cosy and comfy booth, the subdued lighting and the effortless service, all served as a perfect backdrop to an exquisite array of fine food. We chose the 'Fiesta' menu 'cos it well, sounded like something you'd eat on your birthday. Among the stand out performers: the calamari, which was light and tender, the chorizo, which was elevated in flavour by a deliciously spicy sauce and the sautéed spinach, chickpea and cauliflower, which had a bold authenticity thankfully not dumbed down for the local palate. Throw in some churros and crema catalana for dessert, along with a jug of refreshing sangria, and this ranked as one of our best dinners ever. If I had to quibble over anything, it would be to beg the owners not to stop at just one slice of that delicious 'miche' bread. Highly recommended, especially for lovers...

You can choose to sit inside or in the outdoor courtyard which we opted to as the word heaters were mentioned. The courtyard is beautif Since they are still relatively new they menu is currently limited to two pages but they keep adding specials every week. The first page consists of tasting plates - Antipasti plates and the second consists of mains. We were advised that they encourage people to share all the dishes. We decided to get 4 items from the tasting menu so 2 cheese and 2 cold meats which came to $30 and bread was included for free! We got a basket of assorted crisp bread, crackers and multigrain to have with out tasting plates. I would have to say it may not look like much but the tasting plates can get filling so if you are getting mains as well best try not to eat all the bread! Staff were very attentive and helpful when it came to the selections on the menu. Overall, good first time visit. Looking forward to going back to try some of the mains. They also serve breakfast from 7am to 11am - I also would like to try this.

What first really hits you about this place is the appearance. They've really gone to a lot of trouble and expense to give it a european feel and it works. There is a bakery and cafe window on one side opening out onto a small paved area with seats if you just wanted a coffee and a small bit to eat. If you head inside its divided up into three main parts; inside, upstairs, and the covered courtyard on the side. Just look at the photos - the place looks amazing. I'd read other negative reviews about their coffee - I usually go a latte with an extra shot and the coffee I got was as good as anything I'd had anywhere else. Foodwise I had the truffle oil scrambled eggs with parmesan on sourdough. I have to admit when it came out I though the serving was a bit small. But as I worked my was through it I realised it was just right. The staff were amazing too. It was almost like the service you get in the US - always topping up your water, checking on you, etc. Nothing was too much trouble. About the only downside I saw were the prices on their wine list - if drinking there doesn't earn you the Yelp high roller badge I don't know what will! They're great for a lazy breakfast and I'll definitely be back to try out their lunch and dinner offerings!

Very delicious, I highly recommend. We also ordered the trio tasting plate so we could have a little bit of everything. My husband ordered the shakshouka (middle eastern breakfast) it was ok, we were expecting more from this dish, it was a bit bland. They offer some great coffee! If you're in the mood for some booze, they offer some great cocktails, beer, and wine. The staff are friendly and the place is always packed. I would recommend making a reso before you show up.
