The men's bathrooms were also never crowded & clean. -The only drawback was the lack of good food being sold. -After being spoiled dining around Sydney, I expected great food options at the arena. Overall, this is a great arena for major concerts.

The view of the stage can be seen from all seats and the large screens give that closeness even if you are in seat zzzz. There are several snack bars and light snack cafes. Most places have alcohol. Parking at the parking station is a complete headache, just don't go there. There is a considerable charge and then the wait to get out is over half an hour on a concert night. The train to Olympic Park is the best option and at a reasonable price. There are always extra trains put on the line when there are concerts.

This is a review of Cucina Locale not the Club itself…read more Revolving restaurants are magical things, like dragons & unicorns. So when told about it I was amazed and thought "there's a what?....where?" First impressions were wonderful. You step into a light airy modern space that's calm and serene. There's modern art on the walls, fresh flower arrangements and a fabulous view. Staff seem friendly and efficient. It's quite ritzy. We chose the tasting plate menu with matching wines. When we started with just one scallop I was a little worried but I needn't have been. It was beautifully cooked with a white sauce. I won't go through every dish because that would be boring. My only complaint is that the duck tortellini was just a tad too al dente and they didn't provide a spoon to scoop up that lovely broth! A small complaint. The duck itself was delicious and everything on the menu was spectacular. However, the staff let me down a little. I'm not a wine buff or snob (I don't think) but I'm curious and I like to learn. So when the waiter tells us he's pairing the riesling with the duck I asked where the wine was from. He had to go and ask the bartender (I pictured a conversation - "Shit! they want to know where the wine's from - I can't tell them 'Chateau Tanunda cask' what'll I say what'll I say?") (joke). There were 4 different wines and the waiter knew nothing about any of them & each time he had to go back and ask the bartender. Surely that's basic waitering 101! Particularly where the wines were part of the selling point of the menu. Apart from that I loved loved this restaurant! It was so lovely watching the sun set over the mountains and all the lights come on. It was a Saturday night and there should have been more people there. It is a special occasion place and the prices were high compared to the buffet in the club below, but they were not outrageous and it was worth it. I'm making inquiries about taking the family there for Christmas (specifying we must be seated in the revolving part) :).

This review is only for lunch at the Jin Yan Asian restaurant on the 2nd floor of the club complex. As others have commented, the facility is modern, clean, relaxing & spacious. Seems to offer lots of dining and recreation choices (including spaces for poker & slot machines). As expected, there is a "dress code" and prices are slightly higher if you're not a club member. We ordered 7 dishes ($80): chicken feet, cha siu bow, taro puff, egg tart, chinese sausage roll, beef balls & fried rice. The rice & sausage dishes were blasé but the taro puff was excellent. For the price, the food was only OK, but you come here for the nice atmosphere (e.g., if you're entertaining guests and you want an upscale vibe).

We went to Montagné, very nice atmosphere and friendly service. There was only one waitress on and few tables were starting to fill up while we there so service was a tad slow but not an issue. The decor sets the French theme, the regular menu doesn't have many choices tho. We had the special of the day which was Tartare de Bœuf, which was amazing best I've ever tasted and I'd go back just for that but unfortunately it's not part of their regular menu. For Main my partner had duck a l'orange that he loved, had a crispy skin and cooked well. I had the pork belly which was a little disappointing as it didn't have crisp and I only order pork belly and wait with anticipation for that crunchy crispy skin but it was chewy :-( For desert my partner had the crème brûlée, which had an infused rhubarb sauce on top that just gave a weird taste, he removed it and discarded the sauce which revealed a lovely crisp sugar top and a good tasting crème brûlée to underneath, there's no need for the sauce. Also not part of their regular menu. I had the soufflé, that was a very nice finish to the meal after the pork disappointment, I enjoyed the soufflé and the accompanying ice cream yummm.

Having seen so many beautiful independent coffee shops around town, I took to Yelp to find somewhere nearby for a cracking breakfast. White Wall did not disappoint in the slightest. From the beautiful, wholesome decor to the little tables outside, this cafe is fresh, welcoming and charming all at once. With Sydney residents enjoying coffee outside with their dogs, we really did feel like we'd stumbled across a little local gem. The staff were friendly and quickly served us with our coffees - I'm no coffee connoisseur but enjoyed my little green cup of cappuccino. For breakfast I chose the Avocado Lover - avocado and tomato on sourdough toast - with a side of poached egg, and it was quite frankly delicious. With just the right amount of salt and pepper, and with the egg yolk perfectly runny, it really was a treat. The home-squeezed orange juice was was fresher than the prince of Bel-Air, and the whole meal was reasonably priced. Very highly recommended - I'll certainly be coming back if I get the pleasure of returning to Sydney!

Several bars as well. We sat in the Glasshouse Grill area, but ate pizza from the nearby in- house pizzeria. We had a mushroom pizza and a prawn pizza. I can't say much about the prawns because I don't like them but DIL and son think it's the best. I liked the mushroom pizza which had whole mushrooms on it rather than the sliced ones. The little nipper had Dino chicken nuggets and fries, known as chips in Oz. Crisps are what we Yanks call chips. It was noisy, full of families and romping kids headed to the inside playground.
