A great spot right on the water with views onto parts of Sydney Harbour, it is a club with membership but public can also have access as well with I/D and living I think 8 klms away from the area. Good food at reasonable prices, but the wines can be expensive. Had been here some 33 odd years ago and the whole place have had great renovations, good place for a quiet relaxing meal.

Small and intimate club with friendly staff, good bar area, fantastic outlook and a very good restaurant serving up tasty, affordable meals.

We travel from the Blue Mountains to wine and dine here . Absolutely fabulous, the manager of the restaurant always remembers us , couldn’t be more friendly

We had my 50th there on Saturday. We chose the functions finger food menu with unlimited bar. The service, food, atmosphere and location was amazing. We had our own section and shared the deck Thank you to Dana and her staff. Everyone loved it and had a wonderful time. We'll be back

What a gem of a find, situated right at the Double Bay ferry stop, you enter a club that has a small outdoor deck with shade umbrellas overlooking the harbour. Inside you have a bar with informal bar tables with a great view over the deck and harbour. It also has a dining area that is slightly a little more formal (tables are set) the whole place is a relaxed atmosphere. Considering it is upmarket Double Bay, the wine list offers inexpensive choices and it has a great pub-style menu. Even though it is summer I had the seafood chowder and it was to die for. Simply amazing and must say I will be back for more. The bread roll was fresh and served warm with real butter. A glass of sparkling mineral water topped it off nicely.
