We like to think of our Harbour as a sunset painting in progress where the magical colours of Sydney’s iconic landscape change by the minute. The aquamarine colours of Summer give way to the warm orange hues of Autumn before deepening to a magical Winter twilight blue. Year round, sun-up or sun-down, the Sunset Dinner is a perfect venue for pre-theatre dining, family groups a place to wind down after a big day working or exploring in the city.
