Visiting Opera Bar you are reminded that we live in the best city in the world. The view is tremendous - directly out to the Harbour Bridge and the skyline of North Sydney to one side and the city skyline to the other - it's spectacular and this is why I keep coming back. It's certainly not because of the food.

Tonight we were off to see Jefferson Mays perform his one man show for the Sydney Theatre Company, "I Am My Own Wife". As it was a 6.30pm performance we had to eat early and Opera Bar can accommodate. For the first time I noticed that Opera Bar is promoting their chef i.e. awarded chef, Christopher Whitehead. The food is modern Australian and there is something for everyone.

I'm a creature of habit so ordered the Beer battered flathead fillets with chips & tartare sauce for $24. I'm so predictable, I've had this each time I've visited - what gives!?@ - Feb 06 and Oct 05. My dinner buddy ordered the lasagne. This came out in a large deep dish with a perfectly cut square piece of lasagne sitting in the middle. The service is fast, the view is amazing and the food is average.

I am still impressed that Opera Bar is promoting the work of SHAG - a great artist that is splashed across their website and also used for their promotional cards. I absolutely love his work.
