Just had my wife's 30th in the cocktail area for 17 guests. The canapes were all top notch (especially the vegetarian options surprisingly!) and the service that was given was exceptional. The canapes had just the right seasoning and were very flavourful
The staff, especially the two female bartenders, went out of their way to accommodate us and it felt very special. Very highly recommend having your next function here!

Mouth watering food, well presented. For those that prefer non alcoholic beverages, I highly recommend the mocktails. I had 2 glasses of the Moncur Mocktail and felt refreshed! The food is over priced though. But worth every bit of it. It was a nice birthday lunch for 2 of my relatives and they thoroughly enjoyed it!

My brother and I had lunch at Moncur Bistro yesterday. As always, the food was delicious, the service excellent and the ambience perfect. It had been some time since I had eaten there and it is still absolutely first class. Having been many times before, over many years, it is always a delightful and delectable experience. Thank you.

The Woollahra hotel is one of Sydneys best pubs. With its stunning interiors, sensational food and fantastic staff you are assured a great night. I had a milestone Birthday in the private dinning room which has a baby grand piano and its own bathrooms. The amazing Kate coordinated my event to the last detail and ensured everything went without a hitch. The Asian banquet was delicious and the staff were efficient and friendly.
