Definitely make a reservation as the restaurant was fully booked on a Sunday at 5:30pm and we saw people being turned away. The seafood tom tum soup was delicious and the noodles were silky soft. Excellent service !

Great cruise Sydney Harbour - 2 COURSE TOP DECK LUNCH CRUISE - Circular Quay

The boat was beautiful and the dining deck was impressive. Service was good but towards the end of the cruise was not excellent. The cruise gave you a two course lunch and you had to pay extra for the third course. I ordered mains and dessert but I never received the dessert. When I spoke to the manager she assumed I wanted to have the dessert as an optional extra. Drinks are not included so you have to pay extra. The views were great but it wasn't clear when we were able to disembark - at Darling harbour or Circular Quay. We got off the boat at circular Quay but we could have stayed on as it was doing a loop again.

The staff at Renzo's are friendly and go the extra mile when I was dining here with my daughter. The three course deal with a glass of wine was an excellent special. I had the antipasto platter for entree, veal saltimbocca, and pistachio semifreddo. I struggled to finish the dinner. This was complimented by a great view of the Docklands area and Marvel Stadium.

A nice enchanting place to visit with children. The staff fitted out my toddler with gloves, jacket and hat. They even played the "Frozen" theme song while we were inside. Hold on to your drinks card carefully as I dropped my card whilst I was getting my phone out of my pocket and couldn't find it. In the end I purchased a drink at the bar. They have some cool cocktails - I recommend Brain Freeze. The staff aren't too pushy in getting you out of the Ice room, you can stay as long as you like.
