The fried rice was very nice in the first few bites but definitely started to get a bit salty till the end. It's a delicious dish enjoyed shared between maybe 2 people for a smaller portion. The ricotta pancakes were very nice with a slightly unique flavour profile you wouldn't find in your typical pancakes, probably due to the ricotta and honeycomb butter. There was a slight wait time but wasn't that bad. The indoor seating is definitely tight and can feel stuffy if you go on a hot day. Overall, a good first time but don't know if the prices are worth it.

The Ricotta Hotcakes are unreal! It looks so simple but It’s the best Hotcakes I’ve ever had. Super fluffy with the ricotta aroma + the honey comb butter really makes it so tasty and perfect! That’s why they’re so famous! Ricotta Hotcakes are a must here for first timers! Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Bills Surry Hills is a vibe. Warm golden lighting, leather booths, proper relaxed energy. And honestly, one of the best things about living in Surry Hills is you can dodge the breakfast, lunch, or dinner rush, so it wasn’t packed at all. The whole place felt calm, like you’re not fighting for oxygen. Service was great too. We got looked after by a tall, friendly lady who was switched on without hovering. That part was spot on. Food though… mixed bag. The zucchini chips were ok. The eggplant entrée was ok not bad, just not memorable. The grilled steak was a little dry, and for a place like Bills, I expected it to hit harder than that. The prawn linguine was the highlight. Easily the best thing we ate that dish actually delivered. Dessert was a similar story to the mains: one hit, one “meh.” The pavlova was genuinely great. But the chocolate mousse was a bit too salty for my liking, so it was just ok. Overall: beautiful ambience, great service, and a couple of standouts but not everything lived up to the hype.

Truly the best ricotta hotcakes. Light and airy texture and delicious. I've tried them more than once and quality is consistent. The omelette is a must-try, too! Silky and divine! Atmosphere is always welcoming and the staff are friendly.

​The Flat white- ok. 3.25/5. The Ricotta Cakes were not as light as a souffle (described by our waiter) and the scrabbled eggs were not as smooth and creamy as in some other restaurants. I would honesty say Bills is over rated and overpriced. It's not surprising since this is an "Instagram Eatery" with high brand recognition. Last month's school holiday queues can testify to that. ​The young man serving us was slick n professional but we felt the subtle pressure of him trying to take our nearly finished plates and pushing the bill onto us as the lunch time crowd filled the tables.

The restaurant is beautiful but was underwhelmed by the service and the food. Ordered their famous pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancake is ok but I was expecting much fluffier texture. The honeycomb butter is good but the bacon was very average similar to ones you get at a cheaper cafe. The coffee was nice and smooth. They are extremely busy especially during brunch and lunch time, so prepare to wait in line.

The door guy told us it will be 45 min wait so we went somewhere and ordered a coffee to chill. Within 5 min of ordering our coffee elsewhere, they text us saying the table was ready. So we had to rush back for the table. Understandably it’s a very busy time of the day on a Sunday, some servers did not look like they wanna be there. It’s very noisy you can’t really hear each other. The pancakes were actually good, however with two big uncut , plain bananas. No cream (i believe it comes with additional charge). For the price point of $30+ we did hope for the bananas to at least be caramelised, and some vanilla cream. The big breakfast had 4 tiny raw baby spinach leaves, some button mushrooms, one slice bacon , omelette, 1/2 tomato and two sausages and 2 buttered toast. For the price point of $35, I believe it’s not worth the value, which could warrant at least properly cooked bunch of spinach, some baked beans and avocado or something. However, the saviour: Italian sausages were really good and the omelette was cooked perfectly.

The pasta has a slightly tangy flavor that is really special and super tasty. It feels like a perfect and refreshing dish for summer. The salad dressing is nicely sweet and sour, and the green sauce with the quinoa rice adds great texture. The sugar-free lemonade is surprisingly delicious and not too sour at all. The vibe of the restaurant is really chill and enjoying this meal on a hot summer day feels perfect.
