“ Thought the staff were being overworked and overwhelmed. Should maybe have a larger kitchen. One woman seemed to be doing the cooking and table service. Wait time was ~25 minutes. Some customers were getting cranky about the wait for their coffees. Patience is a virtue. Went on a Sunday for lunch. Really nice island location. Peaceful and relaxing. Beef burger and vanilla milkshake are nice! Well done. ”
“ We recently enjoyed a weekend at Cockatoo Island with a large group staying across the two Heritage Houses. Beth and her team were phenomenal! From our first meeting she was practical and realistic with her suggestions and overall so helpful. She enabled us to enjoy fantastic catering across all meals for the weekend. The food was superb in quality and plentiful in quantity. No one went hungry! Beth was a great communicator, who ensured we had everything covered. We also enjoyed Saturday at the Marina Bar and Cafe which was a lovely way to spend a sunny day. If you are planning to stay on the island and need catering don't go past Beth and her team. ”
“ We recently hosted our Christmas party at Marina Cafe and Bar, and it was an unforgettable experience! The marquee we had was beautifully arranged, offering a cozy, private space for our team. The grazing platters with a selection of delicious cheeses and meats were a big hit, and the unexpected bon bons at each seat added such a lovely, festive touch. Lunch was a highlight—three massive pallas cooked live by the chefs, paired with fresh, vibrant salads. The live music added to the fantastic atmosphere, making it feel like a truly special event. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring everything went smoothly throughout the day. I highly recommend Marina Cafe and Bar for any team lunch or event, and we look forward to returning again soon. Thank you for looking after us and making our celebration so memorable! ”
