    The venue was beautiful, with perfect weather—not too cold or hot. We had lived in Sydney for 20 years and never knew there was a restaurant in this garden! With half-outdoor seating, we enjoyed stunning views, while a cute lizard family jumping into the water added a fun touch. The menu offered three course options at different prices. We chose the Muddle Summer Banquet course. The yum cha was good, but the presentation was disappointing—nothing like the beautifully styled Instagram photos. The entrée came on a small plate, with fried chicken and dumplings mixed together. The slow-cooked pork was good, but the steamed rice wasn’t very fresh, and the green vegetables arrived late. And if we hadn’t asked, we would have missed the happy hour drink menu. If the food tasted and was presented as well as in the photos, this place would be packed. Many factors likely contributed to the lack of customers despite the stunning setting. That said, we still had a lovely anniversary dinner, thanks to the beautiful atmosphere and friendly, attentive waiters.

    We went on a Friday night, a group of 6. We chose our own courses, everything was amazing. The Chiefs selection sashimi was done of the best any of us had eaten. The cocktails and wines were fabulous. Even in a very busy restaurant the staff were incredibly attentive and the meals arrived at a nice pace. We will be back and highly recommend you visit.
