High Tea Cruise was such a lovely afternoon out!

Jessica 6 March 2026

We spent about an hour and a half cruising around the harbour, with gorgeous views which we could enjoy from the top deck. The staff were very attentive and lovely throughout the experience and served the most delicious food. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun activity around Sydney.

This was a milestone celebration for two of the party of 4 people. We were so disappointed with our High Tea as the food presented to us was "Not Fresh".

Not going back again

Bhupender Bhakuni 15 February 2025

Had a very good experience last time around do thought of doing it again. I gave this business 5 star last time but want to degrade the same now. Today I booked high tea (15feb) 1.30pm cruise for mr and my wife. We had a very good experience last time with family and literally became a fan of this experience. But to my surprise this time level of service ruined everything Firstly, the staff is not courteous and didnt look like from hospitality industry. Last time the person served us introduced himself and took care us with a smile This time staff doesnt have a clue about how to do anything. The messup started with the person who served us ( no name tag so cant name her). She took our food preference as strictly vegetarian and went in the back to get our sweet and savoury delights. It looked tempting at first and I took a bite of the pie served. To my surprise the taste sound weird and I had puking feeling. Upon investigation I realised it is not veg and have some flesh in it. My wife took a look at other stuff and that looked the same . This offset my mood from the start and that strong taste kept lingering on my tounge and mind. We complained about the same and the server took it casually and took the plate with meat served in the kitchen. After few mins returned with a replacement with no apology but with a explanation that it might have mixed up in the kitchen. Does it need to be that casual?? She didnt realise the gravity of the situation of a hardcore vegetarian person to have a taste of meat in his mouth and senses. How can such a brand can hire such unprofessional people. Are we cutting cost here by employing people who does not come from hospitality background. Unfortunately today is my last visit to this company offered service. And would make sure others like me dont get fooled by the brand name. This is so unprofessional and unacceptable
