Originally opened by \u00a0Tony and Gay Bilson,\u00a0 and recently re-opened by Dietmar Sawyer, \u00a0the restaurant is frequented by both epicures, and those celebrating special occasions. It was just such a special occasion, my birthday, \u00a0that took us to Berowra. We chose to arrive in style by seaplane from Rose Bay, a high flying start to the day! Our original delight at the restaurant&#8217;s location, and our wonderful window seat, grew to dismay at the simply shocking service. \u00a0Menus were slow to arrive, as was the taking of our orders. Having placed our order for 6 courses, one couldn&#8217;t help but begin to wonder when we might see the first one! An hour and a half after sitting down, we only had one course, by which point we were simply starving! After sharp words, and a call to our pilot to delay our return, our next 3 courses arrived in rapid succession! And what amazing courses they were!<\/div>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-9105 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/tn_PastedGraphic-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"98\" src=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/tn_PastedGraphic-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/753_s.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"98\" src=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/753_s.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/904_s.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"98\" src=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/904_s.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/266_s.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"98\" src=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/266_s.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/711_s.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"98\" src=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/711_s.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/314_s.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"98\" src=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/314_s.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div>The food at Berowra is simply exquisite, world class.
