    Another great local hole. I have ventured in here twice over the last weeks and not been diasppointed. Their tasting plates are delicous Argentinian tapas....the empanadas are a winner!!! It is difficult to choose as all quite mouth watering. And if you like a cocktail the Rattlesnake is unmissable, though a little pricey at $20

    Tiniest restaurant that develops amazing food! I used a voucher that I purchased from Spreets and received a 5 course degustation with cocktails. The cocktails are to die for! This place is very intimate and is a great place to come here while on a date. Would recommend this place to anyone! Staff are very welcoming also.

    I'd been waiting to go here for a long time after hearing so much about it. Perhaps it was simply a case of it being overhyped, but I wasn't blown away.

    There are so many great smallbars in Sydney now that dish up good quality finger food mixed up with some of the best cocktails on the planet. I was hoping Miss Marley's would take on that model, which they do to some extent, but its more "restaurant" than bar.

    To start with, the booking was held but we had to wait on the corridor couches for about 45 minutes for our table. We chilled with cocktails there... none of them were particularly generous, and the margarita was fairly generic (esp for $18). Not bad.... just nothing to compete with the best on. Once we got the table, food came quickly. We had mixed share plates, all of which I felt were dramatically overpriced. The Empanadas were small and really just pastry with sauce. The jerk-spiced ribs tasted nice enough, but didn't have much on them for $16. The Chorizo at $10 was about 8 thin slices cooked in oil... again nothing I'd consider particularly gourmet. You get the point...

    Nothing wrong with any of it, just nothing to justify the reputation. Decor is funky, ambience is a strong point, and service was attentive.

    Miss Marley's has everything packed into its small space. Combining a mix of dining/lounge area on the inside and limited outdoor seating, this place has a friendly atmosphere characterised by subtle wallpaper curtains and ambient lighting.

    An occasional live DJ supplements the already-pleasing lounge music, although that could sometimes encourage the guests to start conversing louder which might then become a little unpleasant.

    We were served many dishes that teased our taste buds one after another. The ones that captured me the most are handmade curry puffs filled with beef and minced olive, powerful cheese croquette served with sweet berry sauce, unbeatable seviche served on pan-fried quesadillas, with an ending of a humble peruvian chicken milk curry served on a bed of black beans and a mixed of black and white sticky rice.

    We were also served with their traditional chillean house wine which was very easy on the mouth and fully complemented all the dishes being brought to our table.

    The staff were very friendly and attentive. We witnessed one guest complained about the generous amount of cheese in their food offerings, and they dealt it with such calm and professional manner.

    Had dinner here last week and loved it! The jerk chicken was so tasty and my partner loved his cheviche too - will be going back for sure.
