For their restaurant JAAKS, the name is an acronym for each of their respective children: Jordan, Alannah, Anya, Kosta and Sienna.

Executive Chef, Jason McCauley, said: “It is great recognition for our continuous strive for excellence.”

“At Jaaks we have created an ambitious degustation menu elevating Greek cuisine to a fine dining level,” Mr McCauley added.

“Each dish is meticulously presented to showcase a level of Greek gastronomy which is lacking in the Sydney dining scene.

“The same philosophy extends to The Kyle Bay events; all dishes are of the same high standard and the picturesque waterfront is a perfect backdrop for all occasions especially weddings.”
