Michael ShafranJuly 26, 2011The place is still finding its feet, but the ceviche is excellent - little wonder, as the exec chef is from Peru. Also go for the Estrella beer on tap, and check out their impressive rum selection
The duck with chocolate sauce is awesome! Order with your $10 mojito or the non-alcoholic mojito like nojito!! Also, don't forget to give the bartender a coin for some coin-slamming action!
Elliot ChanceSeptember 29, 2015They have a cigar room and they will recommend the best spiced rum to go with it.
Mark DavidsonJanuary 7, 2013Great fun, excellent rum selection! Smoking may harm your health but cigars every now and then are part of the joys of Life
Diplomatico RumMay 19, 2012AMAZING Rum collection. Don't forget to ask for any of the Diplomático rums here. More info?
c0uPJune 21, 2012The Kraken rum is caramel goodness. On the rocks is just fine, and for bonus points, have it with a cigar.
jamie andreiNovember 25, 2011The rum tasting paddle is killer. You can work your way around the Carribean. And yes the cigars are brill.
Citibank AustraliaOctober 7, 2011In October, travel the globe without leaving town. Put Sydney's culinary diversity to the taste test. Come and treat yourself to world dinners as part of the CSIFF 2011.
Denea GourmetRabbitJune 25, 2011Nifty flair bartender, great beer, rocking Cuban club below and make sure to order the korubuta pork. Mmmm
Carrie CAugust 27, 2011Get the Comestibles to share like Tapas (size btn an entree and main), they were ALL good! Wash down with Mojitos!- c0uPMay 7, 2011Known as the home of the mojito, but they make a pretty mean American Old Fashioned with rum too!
- Denea GourmetRabbitJuly 26, 2011Hemmingway's breakfast or Dictator rum. And don't forget to check out the cigar room
Camila QueirozNovember 22, 2013The only problem is that they put us out when the staff wants to close.
Daniel MulhernOctober 21, 2011Good fun but I definitely wouldn't say best mojitos in town... I've had better and they are not always $10!
Clarissa SantiagoNovember 28, 2011$10 mojito ... which you'd expect to be cheap tasting for its price... but its really good!!!
Frank HannaApril 24, 2012Seriously understaffed. Classic cost cutting. Never works in the sydney market. These guys won't be around in a year's time if they keep this up
PierreAugust 24, 2011Dont have any food other than meats or else you'll be starving. Drinks are good but bar tenders don't know how to improvise which is disappointing considering their rum selection.
Even for 5 bucks mojitos aren't good they changed extra 30aud if you book more than 8ppl for lunch! #fail food quality at lunch time wasn't good.
KaneApril 5, 2012Out of 10 items on the bar menu they were out of 5 of them and from 20 items from the main menu they were out of 6. Pathetic
