    I adore Doyles at Watson's Bay. The ambience is stunning. A MUST visit for people travelling to Australia, or to Sydney from other States. I have been to many wonderful restaurants around the world, but Doyles beats them all. The last two times I have taken overseas visitors there for lunch we have been given THE best table in the restaurant. It is such a joy. Thank you Doyles.

    We had lunch on a Friday afternoon. The restaurant has a lovely setting. The food across each of the three courses was well presented, the portions were a good size and the taste was delicious in each case. The staff were attentive and cheerful. Overall we had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back and telling others.
