For my second post I am going to be blogging with you about my pancakes at the rocks experiences. Over all I found it to be an over hyped reliably mediocre experience. When I first entered the Circular Quay location there was a long line to get a table. Although in most places this would mean great things to come, in this case it meant slow service. Peaking through the door there were many empty tables still with the leftovers of previous customers and some of the staff seemed to be standing around chatting. The decor had an old style american feel which I found to be vintage and nostalgic.
Me and my friends decided to order dinner. I ordered a tandoori chicken pizza and another of my friends ordered a supreme. The pizzas were soggy on the base and the cheese was over powering. Two of my other friends ordered steak and ribs both which were chewy and left them only half eaten. My final friend ordered a chicken caesar salad which seemed to be the highlight of our food orders. The salad was light and fresh with a good blend of toppings. I would recommend ordering if ever in the situation.
The second benefit of ordering salad is that you leave ample room for the star pancakes. After disappointing food, our meal really turned around when it came to dessert. The pancakes were light and fluffy whilst still maintaining a rich silkiness. We ordered a variety of pancakes including caramel banana, chocolate and lemon and sugar. Each dish was amazing and began to convince me that the was merit to all the fuss.
In conclusion I will say that the restaurant is a bit touristy, a bit over hyped and horribly crowded at the best of times. But if you can stand all of these things and are looking for a sweet treat, you will be hard pressed to find better pancakes anywhere else.
