Ripples at Sydney Wharf

It was a beautiful spring day when we decided to head out to the recently opened "The Star" (the old casino) to watch Hairspray the Musical.  Since we were early, we decided to walk around the food hall.  The food hall looked very inviting, classy and Flying Fish has just started.  Once all the outlets open, there would be quite a few interesting food options for Sydneysiders.  However, I am not sure if there are ample seating capacity to cater for the anticipated crowd... oh well... I must say "The Star" is a great addition to the Sydney scene and hope that it remains this way.

Prior to the musical, my friend had made a lunch booking at Ripples, Sydney Wharf.  The restaurant is one of many chains around Sydney and is situated at the wharf and one could watch the ferries / private boats come through.  As it was lunch time, there were a lot of people getting fit around the promenade.

I like the feel of this restaurant.  The colourful chairs blended this restaurant with the scenery - bright and not stale.  The service was great as well, attentive but not obtrusive and were aware that had some time constraints.

We had their lunch special as we did not have much time.  The lunch special was their signature beer battered fish and chips with a glass of wine.  I must say the fish was cooked to perfection with a nice crunchy batter as is the chips.  This is the epitome of the perfect fish and chips when you can't spot a blob of oil on the batter ... great setting to go back to, to sit and enjoy the expansive views.
