10/10 from me 🍷 - The Food and Wine was delicious, however Ankit has to have a special mention for his professional mannerisms and etiquette. I truly didn’t feel like I was dining alone. My fellow diners were wonderful as well. Thank you for a memorable evening, Olivia

Great food, attentive staff, wonderful evening. - We made reservations for the Penfolds Dinner Cruise not knowing that it was a wine tasting AND dinner. What a terrific experience! From the moment we went on board to the moment of disembarkation, our every need was attended to by our waitress and hostess. The meal was expertly prepared. My steak was cooked to perfection. And you cannot beat the views from the dinner ship as we slowly glided in Sydney Harbor.

Great views, average food, not a full three hour drinks package - We had a lovely weather and a fantastic view of Sydney’s coastline. We had booked a window table, so the views were amazing and you could also go outside. The website says they will politely decline catering for allergies/intolerances, but they did a great job with a GF menu for me, which was a pleasant surprise. I had looked and thought I just would pass on canapés and give my pasta to someone else, but that was unnecessary. We found the food came fast and furious with the paired wines… we would have liked a but more of a break between courses. We had wine left from one course and the next wine was being poured. I guess we couldn’t understand the rush when we were 5here for three hours. Wine served with each course was very generous. Food was okay,, steak was the standout for all four… order it less cooked than you want as tended to be overdone. The other courses were okay but not worth mentioning,,, lol but I did like them scallops🤣🤣🤣…Inclusive of wines/drinks package totally great value, but they did stop service at about 9:30 before we docked.

Great food and wine! - The tour was exactly as stated. The service was excellent and the food and wine were equally excellent. We had Mildred as a server and she was fabulous! The only small, very small issue, is to know that when you book this tour, you may not get a table by the window. We were in the middle on a platform and could still see but were not by a window. It was not a huge issue as the second 1/2 of the cruise was dark but if you want a window seat, just know this. You can also walk to an upper deck for great views at any point during the cruise. We would still do the tour again when in Sydney.

Great food, bad wine - Amazing service, amazing food! The wine provided was awful, and is the primary reason for my 3/5 rating. The boat was not elegant in any way, however the roof top was awesome!

Not at all what we expected - We booked a gold dinner evening cruise with a window seat. We had to pay 30 Australian dollars extra for a window seat, despite there being free tables, which was soo embarrassing everyone was looking at us as if we were trying to get something for nothing when all we wanted was what we had booked. Also the boat was large and seemed to have guests on all sorts of different dining/drinking experiences. Not at all restful or romantic. Would not recommend
