We booked a table for dinner only to get there and discover it was closed. Not impressed at all especially as we spent $20 on a taxi to get there!

We had a poor experience at Dragonboat. The food was good but the service was poor they ran out of dumplings, the drinks took forever to get to us and the service was unattended. we usually have great service but this time was crap. will not be returning again.

Waitress didn't look terribly happy on our arrival. A simple smile would have made a more pleasant experience. She didn't smile even once during our whole meal. She accidentally spilled a soft drink and again spilled some water from a dish she was taking away and on both spill occasions she didn't bother to wipe the mess away to clean up. There were some egg shell fragments in our fried rice. We had the Peking Duck Banquet which included 'Dessert of the Day' which was disappointingly just sliced watermelon. Overall the duck was nice but unfortunately the service wasn't up to minimum customer service standards. I hope management addresses these shortcomings if they wish to have customers return to their establishment for repeat business.

A very pleasant dining experience at Dragon Boat. We had a nice view over the harbour. Service was friendly, quick and attentive. We didn’t have to wait long for our orders to be brought out. The quality and freshness of the food was above average. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely be back.

We had a great view from our table. We were served straight away. Very impressed with the Peking duck package. One of the kitchen staff even carved the duck at our table for our Peking duck crepes. The san chow bau was divine. The duck was lovely however lots of bones (which is to be expected), the fried rice was nice however my husband is allergic to prawns & we didn’t think to ask without them. The watermelon slices for our surprise dessert, surely was a surprise.

Totally disappointed!! We had to keep asking when will we receive our meals? We ended up being there for 2 hours and we still didn’t receive all our food. We ended up leaving requesting a discount and letting them know l will not return again. They lost a customer here. I’ve had bad service before but this really top it. They weren’t even that busy.

The head waiter was super grumpy to start with - when we asked to order drinks we got a 'i am busy you have to wait' rather than sending one of the other 6 staff who were there. He didn't make us feel welcome at all. It was almost like he was doing us a favour by letting us eat there. The other staff were great.

the restaurant was hosting a private function which covered almost all but 2 inside tables. we only discovered that when we went for our dinner. the private function speeches were on loud speaker and the guests were also very loud. we could not hear ourselves or the wait staff because of the noise. the remaining tables were separated by a screen which made the place very dark and limited harbour views. we cancelled our booking as the place was then no longer suitable for a relaxed dinner with views.

Private function was on and no phone call to advise if we would like to change our booking. We were stuck in the back corner with cleaning products and where extra furniture is stacked. We asked if they could accommodate us elsewhere and the manager simply brushed us off and said no and walked away. We had no choice but to walk out and take our business elsewhere. I left feeling that because we were not chinese we didn't matter. This is not on, we live in Australia and we all have a right to the same treatment. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
