Have dined at the Blue Eatery many times for breakfast and a few times for lunch. The latest renovations are very nice. Food is excellent as always. I tried the omelette today. I was very impressed with the flavour and presentation. Highly recommended.

As always, great food, great drinks both alcoholic and not, reasonable prices and excellent service. Food came out without delay but no hurry to complete. Ample time to talk with friends
The food is not only delicious but creative. I had a red Thai chicken and prawn curry but the meal and presentation were different to what I expected. It was better than expected and made the meal experience that much more pleasurable
Only one small negative was the seat quality. We had ratan bench seats and they were lumpy and a little hard on your bottom especially for bigger people.

Eaten more breakfast, lunch and dinners here that I can recall. Best atmosphere restaurant in Hornsby. Food is always solid/consistent. New fit out has improved the outside area and made it more cozy. Staff are best in Hornsby. Recommend 100%. Best location too.

Second visit to this amazing restaurant. The food is truly excellent. The desserts are particularly great, specially the dessert plater (see picture). The service is nice and the location is perfect.

After the renovation, this is our first visit. It's a bit disappointing. It's starting a bit overpriced now. I ordered the seafood tasting plate which is $39. Honestly I expect more than 2 prawns, 2 scallops and one small piece of salmon. We ordered fish and chips for my daughter from the kids menu. We helped her to cut up the fish to cool down and noticed that there is not much fish. 3 slides fish which are just lots of flour ourside.
