Lively Catch — Restaurant in Sydney

Went here for my mums birthday as she's always wanted to go. We ordered 3 mains, 1 bottle of beer and a soft drink and one dessert. Also had a corkage (fine). My duck was $38 so I was expecting to get quite a bit. As you can see from the photo, it was a tiny serving of 3 chewy pieces of duck. It was nice....... but honestly it wasn't great. Very flavoursome when you first put it in your mouth then not much flavour, and it was quite chewy. I've had better at Asian restaurants for half the price. My dads steak was even more and it was also pretty small. He also said it was nice but not enough. My mum ordered the fish and had a dessert in which she was satisfied. All up the bill was just shy of $180. Even more disappointing is that we ended up walking straight over to the maccas across the road to fill ourselves up. I'm sorry but after spending almost $200 I should not have to walk out starving. The food is alright but this place is a rip off and I...

STAY AWAy IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE RIPPED OFf. Attended last night and were really looking forward to a great experience. Boy was I in for a surprise. My wife and I ordered wild barramundi from the menu.. The two orders arrived with a really small serving in the middle of a large, deeply dished plate for $37 each. There were no accompanying vegetables of anything else, just the serving of fish. If you wanted chips or mashed potato it was an extra $10 extra per item per person. A plate of veggies was an extra $12 per person per serve. I had two Crown Lager beers and my wife and I shared a bottle of white wine which we bought from home. When we received our bill I almost fell off the chair. Along with corkage of $4.50 per person, our bill totalled $113. That was for two small pieces of fish and two beers. I was starving when we left and had to order a pizza on the way home. That will be the last time we visit this place. Our dining guests felt...

First time here, good on some levels but a disappointing night for me. I'd checked my dietary issues before booking, told them on ordering, gave my allergy/medical card to waitress. My scallops (white and bland, not seared) came without the puree (it did come separately) but with a salad with raw onion which my card specifically said I could not eat. Again the salad with lobster had the onion. Waste of food. The menu has a 'while you wait' section which includes oysters. We ordered 12 to share, yet entrees came out first. A bit of discussion and we had our oysters first, but it was annoying and an unnecessary inconvenience. This is not a cheap restaurant, but doubt I'll return. It is always stressful for someone with dietary restrictions to eat out, more so when one had been assured all...
