Mr Wong, Sydney CBD

Mr Wong, Sydney CBD

I went to Mr Wong before I left for holidays, a few weeks after it had initially opened. Is it still the hottest spot in town?  Because when I went, it was near impossible to get a table for dinner with their no-booking policy.  My …

The Morrison Bar & Oyster Room, Sydney CBD

Xanthi, Sydney CBD

The funny thing that I discovered about Xanthi is that you can have a completely different dining experience from your friends despite the fact that you are all sitting at the same table. My experience was one of dining in a nice restaurant with a …
