    We were sharing a special celebration with our nephew and girlfriend. The view from our table on the terrace overlooking the bay was spectacular. Our starters of oysters, squid, stuffed prawns and Moreton Bay bugs were delicious as was the grilled John Dory, grilled Barramundi and Snapper and chips. The service was excellent and the wine prices were correct

    Pocket has a lovely menu and the staff are extremely friendly and patient. The food was good but overpriced for what you get and considering it wasn’t too busy, the food was slow to come out. Very fresh and tasty ingredients though! The cocktails are the standard price for Bondi and very nicely made. Also a little slow to receive them but I’d say they had more drink orders than food at the time. Was surprised they didn’t have more staff on for a Saturday afternoon however, our experience was very relaxing and the staff are not pushy whatsoever for you to order or move from your table :) we would go again but not too often with the cost.

    We told the staff that we were running late, they assured us it will be fine. We got there and our table "garden" was waiting for us. We asked if we could get a table in the restauramt if there were any available preferably outside. They found a table for us in the restaurant. We were very happy. Then moments later a lovely staff member comes to let us know that there is a table outdoors that became available. She did not have to do that but she did it simply because they are great. We loved every minute there. Staff are THE best. View amazing. Thank you so much

    Delicious food for the three of us. Great service thanks to Mia, who looked after us a treat. She was very friendly and helpful, a real asset to the restaurant. We sat outside but when rain came we were quickly moved inside to a table left spare for such an issue. We had a fantastic afternoon and night celebrating our daughter's birthday. We will come again. Thanks Mia and Bartiga's.
