Deckhouse Woolwich

Went here for breakfast, the only time the prices are somewhat reasonable food despite the claims of best breakfast awards, the food was very average. an effort to make it look appealing but nothing better than putting diner food in a rectangular plate service crap, disorganized, waiters were rude, water never came, coffee order was wrong, coffee took 30 min to come, the place wasn't even full. I know waiters don't live off tips here, but com'on. atmosphere if you have one of the few tables outside, with a glimpse of sydney, must be nice. Inside though looks like a boat hanger. It also has an old person home dining room feel to it. All its missing is retirees jostling over first dibs in a buffet line and the picture would be disastrous ... luckily, its not that bad value well, breakfast is the most affordable meal of the day, by far, for 20 AUD per person you can have a main and a coffee. For a sit down restaurant with a view, next to sydney, that would be OK, but based on the quality of the food, service and atmosphere, would have been happier with a 7 AUD takeaway mc donald's on the yatch club bench next door looking out directly onto the harbour.

So my 3/5 is more for the view and atmosphere of the place rather than the menu. You're definitely paying for the view more than the food so I'd recommend coming for lunch rather than dinner when you can actually enjoy the view. As others have mentioned the portion size is rather small for what you're paying for. I ordered the salmon which was an ok size but wasn't totally satisfied after. Guess that's why I'm supposed to order an entree or dessert as well huh? We came for an early lunch but once it started to get busy towards the end of our meal the waitstaff became a little less attentive and it actually took a little while to get our bill to pay. Anyway if you're coming here just think about the nice view and relax and enjoy and don't think to much about the average food and pain it will cause your wallet.

Came here for a Sunday lunch with a visitor from overseas on a recommendation and didn't look at the Yelp reviews first. Ba-bow... The other folks have pretty much covered it off. Food was average but very overpriced, service was very slow and hard to catch anybody's attention, and the noise level was astonishing for such a big venue.

Corn cobbs were fridge cold and the pasta was searing hot and burnt my tongue. The cheese sauce was split and the scampi was overcooked on the papadelle. My friend's steak was cooked well though. View is nice but the food really is below average. At least they took the corn off the bill.

First experience is always important for me and it has been such a warm and friendly experience. I had the entree which is pork belly and it's delicious so I'm waiting for main and dessert. I think it will only get better.
