I guess it does stand out a bit, being an Irish Pub and all that, but there really wasn't anything about this place that did anything to actually grab my attention, or even my imagination. Sure, they had a couple of decent beers, and the staff were okay, but it really isn't one of those pubs that I'd visit again.

The Pickled Possum. Could you get a more ocker name? I'm sure the alliteration was merely…read morecoincidental. The Possum has been a Military Road mainstay for years. It's a late-night karaoke joint, the place to go when all other places to go are shut and you're too drunk to go home or know better. It's packed with a motley crew of young and old, mainly old, and the damn place bangs. The husband and wife team behind the bar (at least I think it's a husband and wife team) are slow as molasses and scoop ice into your drink from a small esky atop the bar. It works. You don't come here to pick up, look good, or do anything other than caterwaul on the stage to shitty '80s power ballads and bad '90s RnB while the crowd in front of you sways put of time and spills beer on each other. Never go away, Pickled Possum. There is quite literally no other lace like you and never will be.

Their song list sits on 2 pieces of old A4 paper so expect to hear the same songs over and over again. The sound system is horrendous so you won't hear anyone's voices unless you're 2 metres from the stage. The 'DJ' who has english as a 3rd or 4th language is without charisma. Also as a bar it only serves bottled beer and if you're there first they won't let you sing until your group has bought enough drinks. Try anywhere else.

On…read moremy way to another place that I couldn't find, I stumbled across this little cafe/coffee spot. I did not return but I had to leave a good review because the customer service was great. The barista and who I believe might have been a manager were both extremely friendly and accommodating to this weary traveler. The coffee was okay which is why I didn't go back (and only reason for 4 stars instead of 5) but I can say it was good just not great. That said, I loved the vibe of this quaint lil' spot. The food did look good. I was just to tired to order any. Lol.

I…read morepicked this restaurant solely on the fact that they have fairy floss (aka cotton candy!) on the maple waffles. Also listed on the menu for the dish was bananas and there were neither. Now, I know what you are going to say- they are just the finished- the actual maple waffles were there and it was pretty- but that does not make it ok! If the restaurant does not have the ingredients for a dish and said ingredients ARE ON THE MENU DESCRIPTION- don't freakin serve it until you have verified with the customer that the substitutions are acceptable- give them a chance to pick something else or go ahead with the order. Then - don't charge them full price of $16 with not so much as an I'm sorry. Super adorable place- instagrammable for sure- if only the dish was as advertised.

Looking for a little bit of fancy in Bondi then look no further then Kelly's Bar and Grill located…read moreon level 5 of Westfield. Fine dining with fantastic panoramic views over Bondi and towards the city. The main cuisine of choice for this joint is large slabs of meat. Steak is there speciality but they offer a range of other options such as Vegetarian plates, Burgers, Ribs and Sea food too. I have been here a few times and I usually tend to go here when I want a hit of protein in the form of man size steak. On this occasion I was dining with some work colleagues and we decided we would order a few different options in order to get the best of all worlds. We decided to order the Salmon with a baked potato, Sirloin Steak 350gm with steamed Vegetables and the Seafood platter. Like a good team we had every base covered. Before our dinners came out we were provided with Kelly's famous complimentary bread. The bread is really sweet and melts in your mouth and excellent to get you excited for the mains. The salmon was grilled to perfection and the staff even asked how we wanted it cooked. I only recently found out some people like salmon raw on the inside ( still unsure why ! Go for sushi if you want raw fish ). It was beautiful and really fresh. The sirloin was very tender and juicy. The Steaks always come with deep fried onions on the side and the steamed vegetables were just steamed enough and still hard in a good way. The seafood platter was the stand out dish very surprisingly considering that Kelly's isn't known specifically for seafood. The platter was packed with calamari, mussels, John Dory, prawns and all upon a bed of fried rice. The fish was so good it tasted as if it was probably happy swimming in the deep blue sea that morning before making its way onto our plates. The service in this place was very good and the wait staff were easy to be got when ever we needed assistance.

Perfect for a pre-dinner movie as it's located right underneath the cinemas, and can time your meals to when your movie is starting. For vegetarians, don't get your hopes up, and I've been told to avoid the Veg platter, just stick to the salads for your meal. But if you needed some encouragement to break from your veg ways, then Kelly's is a great place to celebrate a new meat lifestyle :)

Between 3 people we ordered a salad, 2 x sushi rolls (massive portions of about 10-12 individual pieces) and 2 servings of gyoza... we also received complimentary green tea or miso soup AND one fried-something sushi roll each - delicious and apparently, not on the menu.

Nothing left at all. But...I still prefer both Il Baretto or A Tavola for Italian food. For both quality of food as well as value - those two just can't be beat. Buzo was just a bit too pricey and a tiny bit too fancy for the food that we had. If you do find yourself there though - enjoy the melt-in-your mouth gnocchi and the delicious duck ragu (which is prepared with more of a tomato base rather than the cream base you typically see). And leave room for dessert because the berry trifle thing was yummy.

This is literally the ONLY restaurant in Sydney we have actively chosen to visit more than once - and that despite it being 'over there' (the other side of the bridge from home). Meals are just right - adventurous without being exotic, a step up from what you'd prepare at home without echoes of Heston Blumenthal (this is a restaurant not a laboratory). Highlights for me have been anything with seasonal mushrooms and desserts (not together ...) Seating is over two levels; I prefer the upstairs as the downstairs feels a bit of a thoroughfare, though it is close to the quaint little bar.

I requested that it would have extra chilli and most of the time this request isn't fulfilled but here they did indeed.

The only thing I don't get is that they have certain BBQ dishes, which are for take away only. It just doesn't make sense to me. On the plus side, the menu has the little chilli symbols to warn how spicy the dishes may be. Okay so I caved, well sort of I didn't get the sweet & sour pork, instead I had the pork ribs in Peking sauce (slightly healthier).

The food selection may be simple since most of their menu staples include burgers and chips but this does not mean that you can bunch them with all other local fares. Their customer service is also superb as they make sure that everyone who dines out there is catered to. One cannot just mistake this simplicity with blandness, Beluga is one place where everything is given a dash of pizzazz.
