Been here a few times now. I dont drink coffee so cant comment on it. But this place gets really busy, especially on a nice day. But it has an impact on staff performance. Twice we have had to wait ages for he food, like over 30minutes. ANd when it comes it is not what I ordered. But it was OK for what it was, chicken and salad turkish bread. My issue with this place is it is so expensive. I dont really understand how they can charge so much money for a sandwhich or 16 bux for bacon and eggs. Anyway today I paid 42 bux for two pinapple and cheese, ham on turkish bread, one chips and two drinks?????????? Not worth it if you ask me, though as I said I dont drink coffee anyway......

Approximate cost: $15

I have been going here for over 20 years, it used to be old and dingy but hey have renovated since. The food is an absolute standout. I get the mongolian lamb steamed dim sum or combination short soup. They are open late and have a liquor licence. It is very popular place, its not a restaraunt as such but more like a noodle house.

Approximate cost: $12

Ive been going here since I was kid, Don has had it for a looong time! I love their pizza's and carbonara. But the best thing is their garlic bread, its awesome, I think they must use french sticks for it. When I had a salon down the road and my mum had one in PEakhurst we used to meet every Thursday after work with another Salon owner. Ive never been disappointed with any meal here. You have to try their pizza's they are a standout!

Went here tonight to get kebab and some pide. Awesome kebabs, I had chicken with that yummy garlic sauce, my partner had pide, yum! The smell gets the better of you, but the taste matches the smell. Ive gone here late after the pub also and had pizzas. Its a very popular place and is open very late!

I go here weekly and get my veges then get a ticket for the butchers. It is a bit of a wait sometimes but I dont care as it is worth it and I know its fresh meat and deli. You can get a nice leg of lamb for 20 bux. They always have specials like 3 kg chicken breast for 24 bux or 2 kg of chicken wings 5 bux. I wont buy elsewhere. They also sell goat, a whole bef or pig for those bigger parties or families.

I go here weekly, its always super fresh veges, fruit, cheeses, salad, oils, drinks etc. Great range of foods, continental, and bread too, always fresh lebanese and turkish bread. It gets pretty busy on the weekends and has a great butchers inside.

This is the best chinese youll find in Campbelltown or anywhere close.Its downstairs inside the COurt Tavern. The y are open for luch daily and dnner. The dim sims are awesome, but my favoroite is the wonton duck soup! Yum! Their dishes are authentic chinese, not sloppy gravy soaked dishes. It gets packed at lunchtime. Its very cheap, for the quality and great specials for lunch. They do take away as well. Go and try the duck soup you wont regret it! I go here at least once a week for work lunches.

Ate here a few weeks ago before the movies. Very fresh pizzas, very tasty toppings. The service was great, I like sitting outside and watching the crowds. It was a bit cod though but the staff were lovely and moved the heater over for us. I would defiately go back here. Reasonably priced.

You get what you pay for here. I took my partner for her Birthday in June 2012. I booked the Maritime room for 350 for he night. It was a bit smaller than I expected but it was an awesome view with a wrap around balcony on Darling Harbour! Id booked a assage lady to meet us and the only disappointment was that the room wasnt ready when I booked it. It also included breakfast, buffet style, yum! Much better than your average citigate etc. I would go back here again the place s beautifuly appointed and the staff are lovely.

Approximate cost: $150-500

OMG! I can see why they are expensive, it was well worth the money, bout 35 starting for steak. I had calamari for entree and my partner the pork belly, it was devine, especially the pork belly. We both had steaks which absolutely melted in your mouth. We had desert 3 types of ice cream! Yum and I dont even eat ice cream! The service was a standout! It is very expensive though, all up we paid $170 for 2 entrees, 2 mains, 1 dessert and 2 wines But its lovely inside and who cant love Darling Harbour! Get avoucher for Xmas off you family, thats how I could justify it to myself lol!

Approximate cost: $30 ish
