Commercial Break - Jamie's Italian
Jamie's Italian
107 Pitt Street,
Sydney, NSW
http://www.jamieoliver.com/au/italian/
We're sure that Jamie's Italian has already been over-blogged and over-critiqued. But this is what we have to say about this restaurant. The food is great, but the service we received was impeccable.
After we were served our drinks, we noticed that there was something floating in one of the glasses. We brought this to the attention of the server. In less than three minutes, three different people, including the manager, apologised. And on top of that, we were offered free dessert. It wasn't a big deal really. But we were so impressed.
Throughout our meal, the wait staff was so attentive, but not overbearing or intrusive. And to add to the already impressive ambiance, our food was presented to us by a man with a great Italian accent. Our meal felt even more authentic.
If you are craving for Italian in Sydney, this is the place to be.

Commercial Break - Delicado
Delicado
http://www.delicadofoods.com.au/
134 Blues Point Road,
McMahons Point, NSW 2060
We were excited to go back to Delicado and try their breakfast menu. Verdict? Sounds good, looks good, BUT the Huevos Paelleras
also just tastes...good; not mind blowing and definitely not something we will crave for.
We will probably go back for lunch instead. It is such a great place to hang out on a lazy, sunny, Sunday afternoon. Besides, sangria might be too early for breakfast.

Commercial Break - Home
Home
http://www.homethai.com.au/
Shop 1 - 2 / 299 Sussex Street
Sydney, NSW 2000
It is always a good sign when there is a long line of people waiting to be seated in a restaurant. Home is always packed and we can definitely understand why.
Chicken, beef, duck or seafood, stir fried with basil, lemongrass and chilli, add in the papaya salad, moneybags, Tom Ka Gai and Pad Thai and you now have the menu of the hundreds of Thai restaurants in Sydney.
We wish we can say that Home's menu is different. It's not. BUT what sets Home apart from the rest is the taste. The dishes are so good. You have to try it.

Commercial Break - Janus
Janus

1 Blight St, Sydney, NSW
We thought that there would be more places serving breakfast along Tumbalong Park. As it turned out, only one resto had a menu that was enticing enough to draw us in. It's a good thing we gave it a shot! The music and food, combined with the beautiful Sydney weather was just the perfect start to an amazing weekend.

It is easy to spot SeaChange Cafe from the long row of restaurants that line The Strand at Dee Why. It is the only one with a queue. Regretfully, it must have been the scent of the salty beach air that made us order the Seafood Platter. We should have stuck to our original plan and ordered from the all-day breakfast menu. The Seafood Platter was still great, but the plates of breakfast food that were being served to other diners were looking pretty scrumptious. Next time.

Commercial Break - Sonoma
Sonoma
http://www.sonoma.com.au/
32-44 Birmingham St.
Alexandria, NSW
2015
If you want to relax and enjoy Sunday brekkie without the hassles of having to wait for a table or be cramped up with diners, Sonoma is the place for you. This is what we call a real Sunday Brekkie Cafe...great music, coffee and food, with lots of space and no queue.
The sourdough bread was perfect. The bacon was extra crisp. The chorizo had just the right amount of saltiness.
We will be back.
