REVIEWS OF Flavor on the Water IN Sydney

Rick Vanderwyst

Beautiful atmosphere, stunning views of the big fiddle and the Port of Sydney, amazing food. Located on the Sydney waterfront on the second level of the cruise pavilion. Parking can be tricky if there's an event or cruise ship. Highly recommended.

Brad Mills

Incredible food!!! We got the lobster sandwich which was delicious and fresh. Also tried the fish and chips which was great! Right beside the fiddle and in a small shop space. Very cool lighthouse in the middle of the restaurant and tables are all along the window that has a view of the fiddle and the water. Amazing staff! They also host events in the back space.

Haniyfa Scott

Great food at a fair price. Was hesitant being at the cruise ship dock. Good drinks and Food! a pleasant surprise...

Kevin Gillett

One of the best burgers I've had

Josh C

Sarah Peck

Amazing service and food, atmosphere was great.

jatin singla

Delicious food and wonderful servers!

Sally Ng

Food was delicious, view great, service below par. We waited over an hour to get our food, and were told that the problem was a tsunami of guests while much of the restaurant was unpopulated.

James Leishman

Just leaving this place! I can say hands down the best food we have all had since being on the island! Worth every bite and cent! Super friendly staff and an amazing view! ????????

Samiha Tamanna

They serve regular pub food here. It's nothing special. Cool views of Sydney if you're sitting on the patio.

Corey Roth

Food was not great but surrounding area was interesting to walk.

Sharon Rozario

Very nice place, menu affordable and nice choice of meat, sandwiches or sea food.

Adam MacDonald

Went here for my birthday supper, and had a great night! Food was amazing, atmosphere was wonderful but the best part was the live music. The singer was phenominal! He even dedicated a song to me for my birthday!

Brooks MacDonald

It's in the shadow of a cruise ship some of the time but it was really good. The burger and sweet potato fries were great. The staff was very friendly. Nice view including the giant fiddle outside. Outside tables in the warmer weather is the way to go.

Gary Bailey

We had the blueberry crepe special today and it was delicious. We look forward to sitting outside before long.

Christine Saunders

Exceptional food, great service! They completely revamped their menu, but it is absolutely delicious. Quiet, atmosphere perfect for any occasion!

Amber Woodworth

It's just bad. Service is average but the food is always poorly prepared and the entire menu is over-priced. Eat somewhere, anywhere, else.

Mark Berkeley

It was the best dinner we had in a very long time! The food was delicious and the wine was even better. Its casual dinning with gourmet food. %100 recommend

Kissfan1989

One of the best experiences my wife and I have had. Highly recommend this place because the food was fantastic, service was second to none (our server, Alex, was an incredible server), and the view was breathtaking.

Matthew David

I will never eat here again, the food was great.... but our server ruined our evening. She left us with a feeling that we were putting her out or something. She clearly did not want to serve us. I have no idea what her name was but W.O.W. I work in the Restaurant business and was looking forward to a nice meal but cannot say we will ever return to Flavor on the Water. Will be spending some time in Sydney at the end of July.

Jenny

The nachos are hands down the best I've tried on the island as are the crab cakes. The view is gorgeous and you can take a stroll along the Sydney boardwalk. Highly recommend!

Nigel Kearns

Delicious food! and when I get my bill I'm always surprised how inexpensive it is. Never disappointed!

Ken Faubel

It has been over a year since we ate here. I can honestly say it was the best meal we had in Sydney ever. We began with mussels and the mussel cream sauce was fantastic. When we arrived they mentioned they were out of lobster but by the time we ordered our mains the waitress came with good news that lobster had just arrived so I ordered the lobster club. Before that I started with the incredible seafood chowder. I often order this as a starter and it was absolutely the best I ever tasted. Next the lobster club arrived which was 4” thick packed lobster and off the charts delicious. I shared with my wife who ordered the pan seared haddock. I tried hers and omg the lemon caper sauce was like nothing I ever tasted, incredible. Our friends had vegan tacos which they raved about and had to take some home. Btw, other appetizers on the table were the beer cheese dip pita and nachos, again delicious. Yeah we ordered enough for 10 but as stuffed as we were we cannot wait to return. We tried the patio restaurant up the street last week and although nice pub atmosphere was no comparison in food. Alexa was our server and although the restaurant was busy she gave us incredible service with no delay. We will definitely be returning!

Thai Tran

Wow. I’m so glad we came here. Food was off the charts good. Presentation flavour and service was definitely 5 star. Eat there when you’re in Sydney

Kirkland Day

Waitress was fantastic but food wasn't to good. Mussels were dirty and unopened.

Deborah M-I

Great choice in the friendly city of Sydney. Traditional dishes with unexpected twists that work. Pleasant staff, nice water view. Worth a visit.

Michael Hart

Definitely amazing foods to refresh your body...

Joe Nicholas

Fresh food. Good service. Prices are in line. We went on a cold rainy day and it was a bit cold inside but the fantastic chowder warmed me up a bit!

Daniel ROCK Roach

Always consistent with Flavor and quality. Well done!

Daniel Reader

Food was delicious, service was exceptional and we sat on patio and view was beautiful

Praba Pillai

Ok. Sorry viewers. Back here today, Dec. 05/21. Not good. Ordered Seafood Trio again. Shrimp very good, Bacon Wrapped scallops very good although there was one less bacon wrapped scallop and one less shrimp than the other 3 times I have had this dish. Mussels not so good. First 2, ok. Next 4 were not good. Tasted not fresh, fishy & strong. Couldn't finish them. Told server to take the rest away. She told me they were fresh & had come in the day before. Doubt that. She came back & said they would take 10% off my bill. Told her that was not acceptable. She later came back with 25% off. Accepted that, but as a manager who has been in the hospitality industry, I would have comped the meal. I am a seafood junky and know good seafood from bad. This was was bad!! SO here is the score on the Seafood Trio. Had it 4 times. Two times good, two times not good. So consistency is lacking bigtime. Be ware. Was going to order 2 Flavor Carnivore Chili for take out for lunch on Monday, but decided to pass! ---- Anything you ready past this was from before. FYI. ----- Ok. Back here a weeks ago. Back to 5 star. Ordered the Seafood Trio. A very big favorite on the menu. Spot on, perfect. Had the "Flavor's Carnivore Chili". Wow! Perfect seasoning and flavor. My wife had the Beet & Goat Cheese salad. Beautiful piece of art work and flavor. Kudos to the owner, kitchen staff, and servers. I thought I first reviewed this place about a week ago and gave it a 5. I don't see my review so maybe I posted it on another site. But now this places gets a 3 out of 5. The dish that I had raved about with the 5 rating fell way short the second time. I had the Seafood Trio which knocked me over the first time. The second time, within days of the first time because it was so good, fell far short of the mark. The white wine cream sauce was almost no where to be found the second time. I expressed my concern to our server, and she promptly brought more sauce. The thing is the sauce she brought was in a very heated bowl, but the sauce was stone cold. Not good! Especially not good when the first time was amazing and I thought I found a new fav place to eat. No so. Will not go back. Between food and wine, when I spend 100 bucks, I expect better and deserve better.

The Zodiac

very good food. Something in the kitchen caused a short delay and they provided a discount for our entire group.

Tracy Clark

Great atmosphere and amazing live music ! I honestly give our meal a 10/10 starting from the appetizer to the main course ????????❤️

John M

Food and ambience. Best kind!

Alexandre Côté

Everything was wonderfull

Brittany MacLean

Great meal, nice atmosphere, and live music when we were there. Great service.

DalJit Singh

Lovely Food & warm atmosphere.

Jaz H

The food was really delicious. I had the seafood trio and the lobster risotto. Perfection! Our server, Nikki was great. There was lots of space and distance between tables. The staff are all wearing masks. BEWARE: It is such a large open space, it can be chilly. Bring a sweater!

Mohamed Emara

Expensive and small portions. Cant even get a piece of bread or a bun unless you order it and pay for it.

Matt Hunter

Husband and I were in Sydney and happened upon Flavor on the Water while walking the boardwalk. He ordered the Lobster Club, I ordered the Chicken and Ribs. Both meals were FANTASTIC. View is beautiful, atmosphere is warm and wonderful and the service was amazing (i appologize to our server, your name has slipped my mind). This was seriously the best restaurant meal i have had in a VERY long time. Serving sizes were perfect. We left satisfied, but not uncomfortably full! Highly highly recommend!!!

Maureen Jobe

Great location and service. The food was yummy as well

Riley Pohl

Really great food, interesting menu. A bit pricy but a great place to bring a date or have an anniversary supper. Outstanding view of Sydney harbour.

James Bornn

Friendly service, good food, and a great view.

William Kowalski

I've eaten here at least once a year since they've opened. Whenever I visit home, we head here. Prices are a bit on the higher end, but the food is unique and quite tasty. My wife always finds something delicious with her gluten allergy, they cater to celiac's. Shirley Temple and nuggets for my daughter. This visit I ate the lobster sandwich and the lobster cake appetizers. My sister is vegan, she got some great vegan tacos! Great views up here as well, sweeping glass views of Sydney Harbour and the boardwalk. Tons of seating and friendly staff.

adithya gilang

Pricey but food was on point.

Divya Arun

Had one of the best meals ever. The service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Ian Glashan

Highly recommended by the folks of Reddit's /r/capebreton and /r/novascotia and we were dually impressed! Reasonable prices on upscale cuisine with a spectacular view of the waterfront.

Ryan B (Ryomin)

Excellent. Thanks to the Chef

Jane Timmons

Loved the staff, the service and the food!! Thank you!

Helen Youden

Great chili

Rishab Gaba

Great food and great atmosphere. What a view of Sydney harbour

DON RANNI HALIFAX REALTOR

The OWNER of restaurant has to be the most disrespectful and ignorant person around. He does not care about his customers what so ever. He made it very clear that he does not need our service after a simple request of having the LIGHTS on in the back room as we could not even see the writing in the menu. If you want to have sub par food and support a person who does not uphold the friendliness of Cape Breton this is the place for you. If you want to be treated with respect I would avoid.

Thomas Allen

Amazing food! Loved every item we ordered! Sooo good!

Laurence MacKenzie

Nice spot for a quiet dinner with great food!

Carole Deslauriers

Busy Friday and Saturday so you might not get a table. People are loving there meals a hot spot for sure best location in Sydney.

Rebecca S

Service was fast and courteous. Don't order crab cakes. Absolutely horrible. Mostly potatoes. Embarrasing for a coastal town

GLENN RUBINOFF

Great food, our server Benny was great!

Holly L. Pettipas

Great view! The burger was a little dry. We attempted to pay using a gift card, the ended up charging us twice and never offered compensation for taking up 49 minutes because they messed up.

Erik Fullerton

Great food and service

J S

Good food in lovely environment ❤

Kevin-Luke Carey

This is where we go to eat when we are feeling fancy. Good quality food and a nice environment, great staff! Always a tasty lunch special. Drinks are ????????

Tyler Wheeliker

Amzing quality food with a view you can't beat! If you want a Maritime experience, this is definitely the place for you!!

Marion Soroka

Great food. Great View. Gluten free options identified on menu.

Kelly bowness

Beautiful placce to visit ,Nice food and good service

Matthew McGillivary

Delish food, clean with artsy decor, good service, reasonably priced. Highly recommend this eatery.

D. Taylor

Excellent lobster roll, full of lobster meat.

Gerry Rozo

We ordered BBQ ribs and after 30 minutes, the waitress told us that ribs are sold out... We have to reorder and wait another 30 minutes...

Annette Drapeau

amazing location on the harbour and great fresh seafood!

Amanda Engler

Olivier Murgier

Meal type

Keyara Duncan-Brown

Nice menu and a nice view of the harbour. Food was nice! The fiddle is also just right outside of the restaurant.

Allison Reimer

The food was absolutely incredible! I had chicken and my husband had steak...both were cooked to perfection and my mouth waters just thinking about it! We had the seafood trio app to start, and it too was amazing. Drinks were top notch. Can't say enough about this place! We're lucky to have this gem in Cape Breton. All the stars!!

Emily Bartolini

This place is an absolute gem! Right at the cruise centre, on the water and the food and service is amazing! Had the beast lobster sandwich and seafood chowder I’ve had in years!

RF Diaries

Service

Wes Beach

The chowder was fabulous, the nacho tower was impressive, the wings and fish were great and the $5 kids menu was delicious. Topped off with excellent Cape Breton hospitality. We went twice on our visit to Sydney and we look forward to visiting again.

mingzhe zhang

Excellent service, great food, very nice view and warm atmosphere We loved being here and we would definitely come back

Norm Glas

I am traveling a lot. Food is expensive and dishes coming without regulat ingredients. For servers I would recommend to be more friendly and think about guests and not themself.

Teanna Adams

A bit pricey but worth it. The weekend brunch was amazingly delicious. On top of that you get a view of the water and the giant fiddle.

Andrew Kraan

This was an excellent meal. 9 of us shared appys and salads and all the food was terrific. We arrived late and had great service and no problem getting a table for all of us.

Luke Philpott

Great food. But prices are high for what it is.

Kraig Schwartz

Great place for a quality meal. I had the lobster BLT with a salad. It was fantastic and the sandwich was stuffed with large pieces of market fresh lobster. Would recommend this for small groups or casual get togethers. Staff did a wonderful job attending to our table, which included our 3 smaller children. Wonderful views of the water when cruise ships are not docked. I'll be sure to drop by again the next time I am in Sydney.

Charity Carr

Dine in

Jeremy Lozon

Great food and drinks eaiter was fantastic.

Rajiv

Younan Younan

This was our first time eating here. The place is beautiful during sunset. The staff and incredible,very polite. The food is to die for. An absolute must .

Flo Fogarty

good food, decent price

Nicolas Zhao

Excellent atmosphere and view. Nice place to have a beer and a snack. Maybe a bit over priced for the entrees, walk a block or two uptown and save some $$

Đinh Xuân Giao

Love this place, great food

K DX

The server was really friendly and nice. Food was amazing and decent price and decent quantity. Amazing view by the waterfront and nice atmosphere. If you get a chance do sit in their patio to enjoy the last few days of sunshine ????

Eli Jakeman

Great food.

Terry P. G.

Being from cape Breton and the love I have for seafood go hand and hand , I ordered the crab ???? cakes which where just prefrozzen trash I could of picked up at the grocery store , the mussels were tasteless and more then half of them where old and white only a handful were orange , very sad this is the Standard most outsiders are experiencing , other then the food the place is very plan but the view and outstanding , the staff is very friendly and on key .

Kenneth O'Keefe Brake

Only give it a one star because no stars are not available. I was visiting Cape Breton from Ontario. Last Wednesday a Friend and Co Worker from Ontario happened to be Sydney at the same time. We both travel to the east coast every year but usually not at the same time. We decided to go for a beer and check out the view. We stated that we only wanted a beer; we have already have eaten and that was no problem with the hostess. We were brought to a table on the deck and given a drink menu then the manager came over with another menu, we informed him that we had both eaten so we just wanted to have a beer. We were told we had to order something or we would have to leave without having a drink. The restaurant was not full and there were plenty of tables open. We were told to leave! In my opinion this decision by the manager will cost the restaurant because I will not go there nor will my friend and will spread my experience with all my family and friends. I have never been to a place that would turn us away. Very disappointed! However, we did get our beer and sat down out on the patio deck at the Governor's located near by.

Allison MacDonald

Beautiful and delicious too

David Pike

Great location, nice design with tables surrounding lighthouse, tasty

Rob Jessop

Good food, varied menu. Comfortable relaxed atmosphere, however background music not sufficiently in the background (interrupted conversation)

Paul Carrigan

This water front restaurant has a very nice view.

Alli Smith

Kenny was a great server. Very friendly. The the Apple stuffed cranberry chicken was delicious and the perfect size. The apple cheesecake as a take home dessert was delicious.

Ozzie Cano

Still one of my favourite restaurants, even though it can be pricey, none the less great food and wonderful staff.

Eric McCormack

Delishes food. Great service!

Timithy Parks

The food was delicious

Michelle Anstey

My meal was incredibly delicious! Awesome place to eat looking over the water and then go walking on the boardwalk after. Would definitely love to come back and bring my family for a cool NS experience.

Michael Corbett

Always a good meal. Best natchos around hands down.

Michelle Mercer

Nice spit on the harbour food is well prepared and good atmosphere.

Dave Hall (lllNiaNlll)

Lovely setting on the Sydney waterfront. High quality food. Large servings. Rapid and friendly service. Would have been 5 star but it's a little bit too pricey.

George Lim

Always great to stop in while I’m home

logan mcgowan

Nice views of the harbour and sunset. Strange interior set-up and little atmosphere. Goat cheese and beat salad was supreme. Service left something to be desired

Wally Vossen

Expensive but completely worth it

Christopher Gardiner

Amazing food, service is amazing. Very friendly staff

Arlene McPhee

????delicious. I had crab cakes benedict and my husband had the chili ... very pleased

alida hughes

Excellent service. Steak was incredible. Great over all experience.

Bob Stebbings

Nice spot in summer.

Kristen Major

Can you believe we waited for our food for 50 min and then all us decided to leave the place and the server stopped us to pay for meal which was not ready by then . I would say never go there .

Navdeep Kaur

Don’t know how they expect to stay in business because they seem to be never open. My daughter was visiting Sydney for first time and we came down to the waterfront to visit on 3 different days/times and each time the business was closed. Maybe it’s a staffing issue.

Thomas Moran (Otis)

Enjoyed a couple of beers here at the cruise port. The port had free wifi always a good thing.waitress was very friendly.

Kayelle

Awesome food. Nice views and friendly efficient staff. We’ll definitely be back.

Dilraj Grewal

Great food and service. Go there often

Alan Kornelson

Excellent restaurant on the water in Sydney, Cape Breton. Really worth it to check out!

Alexa M. Fletcher

Waiters were very nice. Remarkable ambience with great food. We ordered seafood chowder and seafood trio with wine. Both were delicious. Portion sizes were good. I loved their mussles with sauce. Mouth watering! Had a great experience on our anniversary dinner out. Highly recommend to anyone.

Jody Macneil

Great food. Great service.

Jenn & Greg Sheppard

Good fish and chips, and lobster roll

Sebastian Saint

A beautiful view overlooking the harbour with great food. Definitely would recommend their wings!

Ryan Posivy

My favourite place to go for date night! Food is always incredible. Bit higher prices, but worth it

Ian

Best ambience and customer satisfaction

Liz Wangari

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great location.

Evan Patkai

Dinner

Amael Caron-Gagnon

Attention Vegans, Flavour on the Water is by far the best place i have gone too, ive dined at Toronto's Vegan restaurants and Master Chef Louie Isadore at Flavour on the Water is by far the best Chef when it comes to Vegan dishes, he takes his time and is very meticulous to Vegan requests, Kudos to you Louie, you did a fantastic job with the Vegan dishes, delicious and very professional.....Tiago

Lisa McEwan

Great food, great music, great views!

Craig Perry

Server was super friendly. They were busy so it took just under an hour to get our meals. Food wasn’t bad but very unremarkable for a $150 meal for two adults and two kids. Location/views are very nice.

Anita Burke

The burger and fries are amazing! Staff is very friendly and the view ain't bad either.

Vitali

A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. I recommend the mussels and prime rib. Delicious food, and friendly and efficient staff. Will be back.

Mandy Olsen

Thought it'd be touristy woth tasteless food. I was wrong. Ribs were great, so was fresh halibut. Live music, great place on the harbourfront

Patricia Watson

Good view, good location and good food

Olivier Morin

Took 25 minutes to get our first drink this place has no idea whos a server whos a hostess the service was horrible. Food 2/10

Oleksii Lugovyi

Food is Amazing , I had vegetarian dish with quinoa, mushrooms , beets and goat cheese and the service is fantastic as well.

Nadine Macdonald

Very delicious food and great prices as well as great service.

Mike Flynn

Good burger and beer late night this time around.

Russell Mosher

The mussels were amazing. The Lemon cream sauce, the tender mussels were amazing. The chowder was more fish than pototes.

Meghan McCarthy

Great tasting food quick service Recommend Highly

Ellen Jameson

The service was excellent as was The View! It could have been an off-day but my clam chowder was not great, yhe potatoes were quite hard. They did happily change my chowder for another soup. But my husband had the seafood Trio and it was amazing!

Sean Henderson

Seafood is good, our server is friendly, restaurant is by the water, having dinner with a view of the sea, what else can you ask for

Henry Wang

The service and meal were great. We'll be back.

Reg Donovan

The ambience was great at the restaurant. The staff were great and helpful and it was all fine, but what about the food you ask? With respect to the food, I ordered the blackened fish tacos. What arrived was not exactly the Cajun style I was expecting, the flavours could have been stronger, I felt the mango salsa took over the salmon flavour. The food also took a long time to come to the table, probably because we were a larger group. Would I go back there? Yes, maybe I would try something else on the menu.

Nancy MacQueen

Steak was overcooked and the wait for our food was long, considering there was only 3 other tables in the whole reaturant. Not impressed at all. Would not recommend

Derek Gouthro

Food is good great view

Dmac Mac Gillivary

The food was delicious - had the nachos as a table and each had great meals (salmon, steak, jambalaya, and GOAT burger). Server, Kenny, was excellent. And they had local musician in who was talented and a reasonable volume. Will definitely go back.

Blair G

A wonderful dinner here with a couple of friends. We were seated quickly and our server was prompt and courteous. Two of us had the ribs in root beer sauce with fresh cut french fries.... excellent meal... highly recommend. One of us had a lobster dish for her entre. She said it was delicious and contained a lot of lobster. Nice spot with great atmosphere.

Kara Lackie

My husband had the lobster...he said he's had better in Winnipeg. It was rubbery and the claws were blackened. We found the service very poor. Great view, however.

Tamara Stone

Service was terrible had my kids with me they tried to give me a tall table then got an appropriate table and took way to long to get served so we left

Blair Aucoin

This is a fantastic restaurant. I always dine here when I'm in town. My order is pretty typical. I get lobster, fish, mussels, etc. It's so amazingly delicious and very reasonably priced. On my last visit, I was in earlier in the day. Some supper items we not yet being served. The staff made an exception and prepared the dish that I was requesting. Always a great experience.

Cody Pardy

The ribs were so tough the two orders were not enjoyed by the rib lovers at our table. I've better jumboli in Sydney. A beautiful location partly.spoiled by poorly prepared meals. I'm sure they could do better but i will not go back to find out.

Travis Young

They really serve delicious food.

Curtis Lucas

Food was delicious, servers excellent and not a long wait! Very accomodating when we decided against eating onnthe patio as it was way too windy. Will definitely be back!

Jordan Lameman

Food is fantastic ...very relaxing . Afterwork party on Fridays are a must !

Beth J

I would give it a 0 but that's not an option. The food took over two hours to receive, which could have been made up for if the food had been good and/or reasonably priced, but neither were the case. For a lot of time and money, we received watery eggs Benedict with no flavour whatsoever on a rock hard english muffin, with a gross salad, and mediocre potatoes. My sister also got eggs Benedict, same condition as mine (except they had added the tomatoes that she had requested to NOT have) AND they forgot her potatoes and took a half hour after serving to retrieve them. As for my other friends, they got sandwiches so hard that it might have been easier to eat a rock. I am not one to write reviews, but I figured I'd save someone their time and money in saying DO NOT GO HERE!

Allan Hann

A great addition to the Joan Harriss Cruise pavilion. They have some of the best views of the Sydney harbour of any place on the waterfront. Easily accessed by car or by foot on the boardwalk, they also have an elevator for easy and accessible access. The chowder is some of the best I have had locally and I am addicted to their fresh cut fries. Make sure to come in the warmer months to enjoy sitting on the outdoor patio (but the views in the winter months are pretty spectacular as well). I can't comment on the desserts as I am always to full from my meal to enjoy one, but I am sure they are delicious as well. Attentive table service makes for a delightful meal, a wonderful time all around.

Chris Rappel

Delicious!! Friendly staff, reasonable prices and a beautiful view. Chimichurri burger and fiddle burger were amazing!! Must try!

Aryeh Ben-Yehudah

Best Eggs Benedict Brunch I have every experienced.

allen macqueen

Beautiful place customer is excellent and the food is awesome

Tracey Jardine

Took 50 minutes for food to come. Asked for halibut to be cooked medium-rare and it came well done. Added scallops to linguine for $5.00. Asked how many scallops I'd get and was told 3 ,but when the dish came got only 2. When I complained to the waitress, she said that the scallops we're big. Asked by the waitress if everything was okay and we verbalized all our disatisfactions; she did nothing but said sorry. Normally, reputable restaurants would remedy the situation....especially when dinner cost $30/person. Very unhappy

Rob Deveaux

Hugely disappointing. Server was running behind and took forever to get our drink orders, forgot to check on a special item when asked, and took our food orders nearly 30 min after we sat down. Halibut was badly overcooked and so dry it was nearly bricklike. The only reason I ate it was because it took so long to come I would have gladly eaten an actual brick. Another person at my table ordered curry and said the rice was half crunchy and half mush. I'm giving two stars instead of the one it deserves because the server deducted 25% from the cost of my meal.

Mary Blanchard

Excellent menu options. Delicious food. My only complaints were an extra long wait for the food and why Flavor is spelled the American way! :)

Liz Healy

Delicious food, great service and an unbeatable view. One of my regular spots in Sydney.

Stephanie Compton

Very tasty seafood chowder, haddock bites. Nice cold beer. Ethan was fantastic, do friendly and efficient. Nice lunch after a walking tour of Old Sydney

Kevin Reviews

It was ok. Not as good as it used to be. Going to try flavor 19 next

Lisa Courville

This is such a wonderful place. All the food I ate at the restaurant was delicious and the staff was very kind. We couldn't order the whole lobster when we visited. But the lobster dishes we ordered satisfied us enough.

John Prendergast

Little slow but good

David Serwatuk

Service & Food was great. Nice atmosphere.

Chris Barnett

Great food! Nice lounge annexed to it! Good place to have a nice dinner and drink.

Patricia Medema

Very slow service and it was 2pm in the afternoon. Food was average for the price point.

J C

Good food and service. Nice location on the port with great view of the town and the water. Big spot for cruise ship tourists when ships are docked in Sydney.

opeyemi etim

Food was great! Staff was friendly, and very accommodating. Portions were a tad small for a few of the dishes, but overall, was good! Would recommend!

Stephen Paul

Loved this place! Beautiful interior, fast friendly bar staff! Great view and reasonable prices too!

Joseph Lee

After work party is a blast! Funnfilled night with lots of great people. Huge crowd so get there as soon as you can!

Shawn Underhill

We stopped in here for lunch because we were hungry. My wife had a lobster chowder and I had the fish and chips. Obviously being at the port makes it a bit touristy but it’s actually decent food. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside on the second floor patio. There you can see a view of the harbor and cruise ship. They also have another location in town. They have just a few beers on tap.

David Mackley

The service and food were good. The view was good....but it felt like a food court. It didn't feel like a higher end restaurant. My wife had the lobster which was nice. I had a burger which was pretty good. Go for the food and view..not the cozy atmosphere.

Lynn Pronk

Great fish . large portion

David Hebb

Some of the best ribs I've ever had. They feel off the bone with no effortv to the point that even the bones were tender

Will Smith

Love the food!!!!! Beautiful view and the friendly staff...great job guys..we will definitely be back!! Keep up the good work????

Paul Musgrave

Stopped by for a quick bite, at least 15 empty seats in the restaurant, was told they are all reserved. Waited around for a few minutes, others were turned away as well. Was looking forward to a meal here, was disappointed with not being able to eat even though there were so many empty seats.

This is an absolutely beautiful place to have dinner. My daughter is vegan and she had the sweet potato tacos. The plating was beautiful and it was a very full plate. The cocktails are also a great price and very tasty. I totally recommend this place!

Was in town for business related trip. Name is definitely right! The burger was so tasteful and savoury. The nachos were equally amazing. Great food and atomosphere!
