Chekka Sur Mer — Restaurant in Sydney

Saw some tiktoks of this place and was very excited to try Lebanese seafood that was not only local to me but also for it's concept of fresh produce.Had a event with my girlfirends as a group of 5 and we ordered 3 entrees, a salad, side of potatoes, the salt baked fish at MP and 2 cocktails. Ambience and interior beautiful, staff was friendly but the disappointment started happening real quick when there was no tap water on offer (mind you this place serves alcohol and by law tap water should have been available) but we decided to not press on this and settled with sparkling water. The water was 750ml and only after paying for the bill and realising it was $12, this was a complete rip off. Bill was about $375 for our group. Food was very average, nothing memorable, drinks were not great and for the price we paid we can have better alternatives. There was complimentary fruit and biscuits served at the end but for the price we paid (not including card surcharge on top) it was not worth it for us especially...

Where does one start? Wowwww from the moment you walk in, you are greeted at the door by the most awesome customer services, followed by the amazing decor of the restaurant which takes you right to the heart of Lebanon.

The service from start to finish is unbelievable, and this is so rare in this day and age, the staff are very highly trained and this shows in their work.

The food is delicious, with such a wide variety to choose from, the seafood is so fresh, the salads are absolutely delicious, the food is cooked from the heart and this is shown in the way the food is bought out to the table. The taste of the food is so authentic and again takes you back to Lebanon.

This place is absolute perfection and I wish them all the success in this venture.

We will...

Good food, not too crazy expensive. I've been here twice now and the food is generally pretty spot on.

Criticisms stopping the 5 star: staff are nice and welcoming but can be over bearing. Let people relax and just choose and eat what they want, menu is on offer we can read it. Lobster wasn't perfect and the octopus and squid was tough on this visit (sorry!). Also please get bigger tables or limit 4 people per table (join tables together for more then 4) because your plates are so big the food doesn't fit on the table comfortably.

Overall good experience and I'll come back for a 3rd and 4th time. The food is great over all and that's what really matters. I'll update this review if I get a response from management and know they've taken on this...
