Ok - wretchedly noisy, but I loved it anyway. The food is what I suspect is Asian Fusion. My meal was crispy pork belly in plum sauce with apple. Yum. The background music was contemporary jazz or something similar. And the waitress was very friendly and conscientious. All in all, had a great time.

Everything on their menu is excellent, some highlights were the betel leaf, chicken salad which sounds boring but is probably the best thing on their menu and the massamam curry. Their cocktails are also excellent, especially the famous apple martini.

My wife and I love visiting Alphabet Street, the atmosphere, venue and staff are great. The meals are fantastic and β€œBGB” is very knowledgeable regarding the menu. We would recommend a visit to anyone wanting something a little different.

Alphabet St has long been our favourite Cronulla restaurant. The quality of ingredients and unique flavours always make it a special dining experience. Among the many outstanding dishes we had were sashimi kingfish, prawn san choi bow, lobster rolls, lemongrass skewered scallops and crab curry served with a stir in souffle

If there was an OMG rating, this place would get it! Amazingly delicious food, fresh and spectacular presentation! Been here a few times over the years and it just gets better!! Cannot wait to return to Sydney for my next fix! Staff are in the ball! Good comes out in a timely manner, crowd is great. Oh and their apple martinis are to die for! Stopped at 3… but the company I was with had a few more!

I celebrated my 30th here with a large group and the team were incredibly accommodating to us, from catering yo different dietary requirements to always making sure we had full cups and bowls. It was a fantastic night and made me love Alphabet St even more!
