Looking for great dining in Sydney in May!

We're going to Syndey in May/June and will be staying at the Ritz. It's our anniversary while we are there, and I'm looking for a restaurant where we can have a romantic, unforgettable dinner. A place with great views and food - any ideas?

You probably could do better on food, but for an unforgettable view, I would suggest the revolving restaurant on the top of the AMC Centrepoint Tower. There is a buffet on one level and an a la carte restaurant on the other level. I would vote for the a la carte restaurant with a late seating - after 8:30 - to avoid as many tourists as possible. The view is wonderful.

Jen, there is also a very good restaurant in the Opera House at Circular Quay, which gets good reviews and obviously would have a spectacular harbour view.

We enjoyed The Wharf, which is located at the end of one of the Piers on Syndey Harbor - great views of the harbor and bridge - recommended to us by some locals (not listed in any tourist guides that we found)

Centrepoint is not anniversary material. Upmarket cafeteria with a good view. The Wharf and the Opera House are better suggestions. <BR>My anniversary recommendations would be. <BR> <BR>In the city for a great view and good food. Level 41. Book now to ensure a window table. Best view from any toilet anywhere in world. You have got to go even if you don't have to go. <BR> <BR>Other favourite places are outside of the city itself. <BR> <BR>Jonah's at Whale Beach. On a cliff overlooking the ocean. In May/June it will be dark early so a lunch would be ideal here. You can arrange seaplane transporation from the city. <BR> <BR>Also in the suburbs. The Cottage Point Inn for a Sunday lunch. On the banks of the Hawkesbury River - they have a lunch seaplane package. A sunny Sunday is the best time. The best seating is outdoors (request a table by the watersedge) Don't go on a cold or rainy day.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll be looking into Level 41 - any toilet that has a great view needed to be checked out!
