Lovely lunch with delicious food and excellent service. Atmosphere was great with the music not too loud and we could easily talk and hear each other.

The reviews I had read did no justice to the outstanding level of service and cuisine we experienced at Songbird last night with a party of six. Exceptional produce beautifully cooked. Stand-outs were piping hot dumplings with a delicate skin and bouncy interior, sesame prawn toast, beautifully balanced crab omelette and conpoy and lup cheong fried rice. The crisp skin chicken was voted the best we all had ever had - a must order. Mr Wongs had the monopoly of fine Cantonese food in Sydney up until now. The baton, has now been well and truly been passed to Songbird. Can’t wait to return.

We have been going to Catalina for the past 20 years. We are always amazed at the food and service, it just gets better and better every year. We had Xmas Eve dinner this year and the Peach Bellini and my lobster risotto were the highlight for me! Thank you
