Doyles on the Beach
Jan 17, 2009 by Bull from Newark,Ohio

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The fish and chips melted in my mouth.
• I had to leave.

“I ate there during my first trip to Australia on business. I was by myself but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The fish and chips that I had that chilly day with the overhead gas heaters on and the beautiful sparkling bay in front of me will always be in my mind. I would say that it would have been cheap at twice the cost. Don't miss Doyle's.”

Govinda's

• Unique experience, excellent food, great atmosphere.
• Fills up fast, get there early.

“I worked for Govindas in 2000, this was not only an awesome restaurant to eat at but one of the greatest jobs I ever had. The chefs are incredible there. I am not a vegetarian (all meals are there) but the food was so incredible that you just didn't care. The best part of the experience is the dinner and a movie, after you enjoy the food you head upstairs to watch a new release movie, the movie theater is covered in pillows and couches. It is really a neat experience compared to the major chain restaurants that rule the world. If your looking for something different that won't break the bank Govindas is probably one of the best restaurants you can go to in Sydney.”

Star City Casino
Dec 30, 2006 by Iricundus from UK

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[2]

• Nothing, terrible experience.
• No staff and those that are there are miserable.

“Star city is a monopoly. As Sydney¿s only legal casino, it effectively has a license to print money and as such has no need to offer competitive products, value for money or high service levels. This shows all too well in the dismal staffing levels on the tables, in the bars and especially in the restaurants. The few restaurants are more often closed than open due to budget cuts by management. Staff I spoke to point out that the owners (tabcorp) have run the place into the ground in the few years since they took control. This shows very clearly and is a disgrace. Do yourself a favor and stay away; this is an awful place to visit with no attractions except for the gambling fans. 1500 machines and some tables but even the tables are usually short staffed so do not expect to be playing your favorite game. What an absurd way to run a casino!”

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[8] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Excellent sunset view of Sydney.
• A bit expensive, but the food/atmosphere were great.

“A great location with a great menu. A bit expensive, but worth it. Rooms at the hotel are large and well equipped.”
