Justin Hemmes on a Sydney collision course with Neil Perry
The Neil Perry -fication of Sydney's luxe Double Bay is sputtering. The divine ponytail's job on restaurant Margaret (turning it into a favourite spot with a wait list and people-spotting) has been flawless. Then came the very successful casual eatery Next Door and bakery Baker Bleu.
But as this masthead revealed last week it's his Cantonese restaurant Song Bird hitting the skids. It's not even about the food or dining experience.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz reveal their 'favourite' wedding moments
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz found time to "disappear for a second" on their wedding day. The loved-up duo tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida, in April 2022, and they made sure to cherish the occasion by spending some time on their own. Nicola, 30, told Glamour: "Someone gave us this advice and I'm so glad we listened: Take a moment during [your wedding] day just for the two of you. Step away, breathe, be together. Those were my favourite moments. "Weddings can be intense, especially when you're busy making sure everyone else is having fun. That little break reminded us what it's really about: us." Brooklyn - who is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham - continued: "I totally agree. "After the ceremony, find time to disappear for a second. We took a quick drive, just the two of us. It was perfect. Also: love each other, be honest, and always protect one another." Nicola recalled feeling nervous on her wedding day. However, she found Brooklyn, 26, to be a reassuring presence. The actress shared: "I was so nervous. Saying our vows in front of that many people? Terrifying. Someone told me, 'Just look at Brooklyn.' And as soon as I did, the nerves faded. "When my dad took my hand and said, 'Are you ready?' I just started crying. I couldn't even look at him. I was thinking, My make-up! And when I walked down the aisle, Sekou was singing 'Songbird' live. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it." Brooklyn also felt unusually anxious on his wedding day - but his anxiety "disappeared" when he saw Nicola walking down the aisle. He said: "I'm usually chill speaking in front of people, but that day I was a wreck. Nicola kept me waiting for ten minutes and it felt like forever. But when I saw her, everything else disappeared." Brooklyn subsequently got a tattoo as a way of marking his wedding day. He shared: "I had our vows tattooed on me. I've got well over a hundred tattoos now. I wasn't allowed to get any until I turned 18 - my parents were strict about that."
