Mietta's Review
Boomerang moved from its dingy motel location into these flash new premises in 2004. They are smart and modern with fully opening window providing an outside-inside experience. Chef , Marc Romanella, is heavily into Asian flavours used within a European context. His brother, Paul, manages the floor with quiet efficiency and looks after the wine. Altogether a much improved restaurant experience.

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2007 Score: 15/20, One Hat "By day, the windows and doors are peeled open to catch the sea breeze and flood this smartly casual room with beautiful Byron light. Elegantly laid tables and serene service make it a pleasure to languish on the grey suede-covered banquette and sample Marc Romanella's edgy and innovative juggling of French and Japanese flavours."

SMH Good Living Eat Out Simon Thomsen score 14/20, 17/1/06 "Edgy fusion food, with fantastic wines to match. A smart package that sometimes outsmarts itself."

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2006 score 15/20 "Light floods this sleek, casually elegant room, pouring through windows and doors flung open to catch the sea breeze, bouncing off highly polished glasses and reflecting from smoky glass panels. A slim, suede-covered banquette runs the length of the windows and smartly laid tables set the scene for Marc Romanella's intelligent, sometimes edgy cooking."

Gourmet Traveller 2006 Australian Restaurant Guide "Marc Romanella loves pushing boundaries at this effortlessly chic restaurant. Everything about Boomerang is low-key, from its beautifully set tables and luxurious banquettes to the attentive, solicitous service, so the spotlight is very much on the food and eclectic wine list."
