Yesterday marked my third visit to the restaurant. The crowd I take to the restaurant gets larger and larger. That’s how much I like the restaurant. The ambience of the restaurant is exceptional. Service is impeccable. All the dishes are extremely delicious and they change their menus every so often. I love their butter that comes with the sourdough. Love the zucchini flowers, calamari & bait, steak and market fish and all the pasta dishes! Tiramisu is good but the salted caramel housemade ice cream is divine. The bar has a great selection of drinks. Another perk is that you can walk down to Coogee beach after a fully satisfied dinner. Would like to suggest lunch pre fixe menu!! I’m so happy we have Louie in our neighborhood. Hoping they can continue that concept 🙂🥂🎈

The best food we have had in a long time! Every dish we ordered was a stand out. Our Cocktails were great too. Looking forward to trying their selection of wines next time. Our waitress Naomi was absolutely wonderful! We will definitely be back on our next special occasion 🥰

We were there last night for dinner, food was divine (and we’re vegetarian!), agnolotti and eggplant parmigiana were delicious, tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had and the service was brilliant (thanks Richard!). It gets a bit noisy with big groups so maybe not for a quiet meal but the ambience is lively – definitely recommend!!

We had an amazing experience, The service was outstanding – Vini was incredibly attentive and took the time to explain everything on the menu in detail. His warm and friendly approach really made us feel welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and beautifully presented. We truly enjoyed every moment and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

The food was SO GOOD!! We had the pasta tasting menu, where you get 2 starters, 2 pastas, a salad, and dessert! For only $75 pp which I felt like was very fair. Perfect amount of food and everything tasted so authentic and was full of flavor. My highlight would have to be the gnocchi & the burrata. But don’t count out the tiramisu- that was also to die for. Had such a lovely time with my mother and grandma. And aside from the food being 10/10, our server Arturo was also a 10/10 with the service, recommendations, and of course wit and good looks. 😆 Give this place a try, it will be well worth it!

A truly great experience, not just from the food but also from the exceptional customer service. The bartender and waiter, with his sweet appearance and kind demeanor, made our day. His attentiveness and warmth added so much to our visit. The tuna tartare and scallops were good—so fresh and full of flavor. Huge thanks to the amazing staff for their hospitality. I was truly impressed by his kindness!

Very delicious food and nice service. We came to celebrate International women’s day. We did our booking trough the app and it was a mistake there. But the guy Oliver did his best to feel us welcome and comfortable. Thank you very much to him. And also chef did wonders with seafood and fish. Everything looked and tasted perfect. Everything was very fresh and delicious

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm and welcoming. The service? Spot on. The drinks? Crafted to perfection.
But the food… Mobit Gurung, your food is more than just ingredients on a plate — it’s heartfelt, comforting, and unforgettable. Truly next-level.

Absolutely the most enjoyable lunch I’ve ever had, from the staff to the drinks and food it was amazing. The bread is made fresh and the butter is divine, it’s fine dining and if it’s in your budget then I highly recommend this restaurant.
The staff were amazing to be honest probably the best and they all know how to pair drinks with what we ordered to eat.
I highly recommend their cocktails!
I just highly recommend this restaurant and I can’t express that enough!

Honestly the best restaurant experience I’ve ever had in Sydney. If I could give it 7 stars I would.From the minute we arrived we were seated by the window with a coogee beach view. The service was fantastic and I loved the waiters who walk around with champagne/vodka and caviar bumps. The bread and other pastry items are all made in house. The caviar potato scallops are an absolute must try. We had a bit of everything – sashimi, fresh oysters from my favourite Tathra location, fresh lobster pasta omg the best!!! They made my birthday feel special with a beautiful dessert, caviar ice cream and a candle. Yes prices are high but if you truly truly want the most special service and restaurant service ever this is the place to go. The restaurant is on level 2 – downstairs beach bar was even busy and a great vibe – I wanted to stay longer. After dinner we went upstairs which was a very busy beach style venue with multiple bars with DJ and snack style kitchens that were still open. We will def be back

Cannot fault a single thing.
The restaurant has been beautifully designed.
The service was unobtrusive, there was always someone there when we needed something.
Everything we ordered was exceptionally presented and tasted fresh and delicious.

A great meal enjoyed on the outside tables. Chicken schnitzel, crispy crust and juicy chicken. Broccolini with almond flakes and zucchini frites, one crunchy and one soft cooked, both delicious. Friendly sparodic service. Menu suits sharing and grazing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The pavilion rooftop bar offers fantastic views of Coogee Beach. Their menu has limited choices as main dishes, mostly nibbles and appetizers. Their fries are to die for. They offer jugs of beer and have a good variety of nice beers. It is highly recommended for a weekend chill with beer and munchies.

Amazing spot right by the beach! The food was fresh and full of flavor, the service was quick and friendly, and the overall vibe was just perfect for a chill afternoon. Definitely coming back again!
