Guide (GFG) Awards in Sydney.
  
  Chef's Hats are presented only to those restaurants showing the very highest level
of culinary excellence after careful deliberation by the GFG reviewing team.
Reviewers dine anonymously at each restaurant, paying their bills in full. A
restaurant can be reviewed multiple times, especially for Chef's Hat awards which
comprise only the most elite of restaurants.
  
  Restaurants are scored out of 20 and the total restaurant experience is assessed.
The point system comprises 10 points for food, five for service, three for ambience,
with an extra two points possible for something special - be it location, service,
attitude, commitment or a "wow" factor.

head chef, Joe Pavlovich, who together with his team, continues to deliver a great
dining experience.  We are all very proud!"
