- IImoan31/10/2025Best TimeBest TimeWent to Cruise Bar’s & Restaurant upstairs with four of my girlfriends and honestly, we had the BEST time! The service was next-level – our waitress couldn’t have been more attentive. I ordered the steak and it came out a little rarer than I like. When I asked if they could just throw it back on the grill, they went above and beyond – brought me a whole new meal! And the second steak? Absolute perfection.

- CChristina Fevre31/10/2025Best timeBest timeI had the best time at Melba’s Rooftop at Cruise Bar Sydney for their Sunday high tea with a twist. The views of the Sydney Opera House are incredible, and the food was such a great mix of sweet and savoury — the wattleseed scones with lime coulis and lemon myrtle cream, lobster rolls with caviar, barramundi taco bites and Tim Tam verrine were highlights. We did the bottomless cocktails option and loved how creative and refreshing they were — the Wildflower and Mexican Bloom were my favourites.I had the best time at Melba’s Rooftop at Cruise Bar Sydney for their Sunday high tea with a twist.
