    Amazing food and buzzy atmosphere. Probably gets a bit Geordie Shore on a weekend.

    The Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel (formerly Doyles Palace Hotel) has been an east Sydney icon for almost 130 years. This 32-room beachside bolthole has been given a complete makeover. Read more

    Venue is a bit daggy but view is amazing and great ferry ride on a sunny day. A lazy drink spot.

    The rooms are suite nice but there is an odd smell in the corridors. New head chef hopefully with lift the food quality. The view and the area is very nice.

    Don't come here for New Year's Eve. Despite their promise to arrange transport to the CBD, it didn't happen. Their staff weren't friendly either. Take your business elsewhere.

    The pre-prepared food and aging decor mightn't be amazing but the view certainly is.

    The Fish & Chips might be famous but not for the right reasons. I had better at school!

    The grilled salmon is nice... If you scrape the awful aioli sauce off it before you eat.

    The drink selection was fine but food over priced and ordinary. Our fish dry, chips burnt. Go to Doyle's next door and get take away if in need of food
