Reviews of Flavor on the Water (Restaurant)

Rick Vanderwyst

great meals

Garry Sager

Great waitress

Brad Mills

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

Haniyfa Scott

Expensive but completely worth it

Kevin Gillett

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.

David Corbett

Delicious breakfast!

Josh C

Delicious!

Hayleigh Cameron

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

Ron Moodey

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...

Sarah Peck

Amazing service and food, atmosphere was great.

jatin singla

Great food, our server Benny was great!

Sally Ng

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

Great tasting food quick service Recommend Highly

Samiha Tamanna

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!

Corey Roth

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

Sharon Rozario

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.

Adam MacDonald

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

Brooks MacDonald

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

Gary Bailey

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

Christine Saunders

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.

Amber Woodworth

Great fish . large portion

Mark Berkeley

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.

Kissfan1989

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.

Matthew David

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.

Jenny

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!

Nigel Kearns

Best ambience and customer satisfaction

Ken Faubel

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.

Thai Tran

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.

Kirkland Day

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

Deborah M-I

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

Michael Hart

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.

Joe Nicholas

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

Daniel ROCK Roach

Lovely Food & warm atmosphere.

Daniel Reader

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 $$

Praba Pillai

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.

The Zodiac

as a tour guide i brought more than 40 people here and they all told me the food are awesome！today finally i got a chance to have a dinner here myself and this prime rib, man, best one i ever had, definitely a must go restaurant in sydney or even nova scotia

Tracy Clark

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.

John M

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

Alexandre Côté

Food is good but overpriced

Brittany MacLean

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

Jerome Campbell

Slow but tasty

Mohamed Emara

Great food.

Matt Hunter

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

Maureen Jobe

Great location and service. The food was yummy as well

Riley Pohl

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.

shawn rose

Highly recommend this place or any of the other Flavor restaurants. Great food, great prices and a friendly staff.

James Bornn

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!!!

William Kowalski

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.

adithya gilang

Excellent food!

Divya Arun

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

Ian Glashan

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.

Ryan B (Ryomin)

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

Jane Timmons

Nice spot in summer.

Helen Youden

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

Rishab Gaba

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.

DON RANNI HALIFAX REALTOR

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

Thomas Allen

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.

Laurence MacKenzie

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.

Carole Deslauriers

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

Rebecca S

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

GLENN RUBINOFF

This water front restaurant has a very nice view.

Holly L. Pettipas

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.

Erik Fullerton

Great food, great music, great views!

J S

Pricey but food was on point.

Kevin-Luke Carey

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

Gerry Rozo

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

Annette Drapeau

Always consistent with Flavor and quality. Well done!

Amanda Engler

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! ????????

Kyle Kelloway

Salad was great. Fish was overdone but fried were great...

Olivier Murgier

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!

Keyara Duncan-Brown

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.

Allison Reimer

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!

Emily Bartolini

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.

RF Diaries

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.

Wes Beach

Great food. Great service.

mingzhe zhang

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 .

Thomas Wissmann

Always great

Norm Glas

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

Teanna Adams

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

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

Luke Philpott

Great food and service. Go there often

Kraig Schwartz

Amazing!! Staff, food, entertainment....the whole expierence was just fantastic!

Grahame Cenkner

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.

Brian Bednar

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

Younan Younan

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.

Flo Fogarty

Great food and service.

Nicolas Zhao

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!

Dave Hall (lllNiaNlll)

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.

YOGESH PATIL

Food was good and original. Apetizer were not as great as expected.

Sarah Barrett

Dinner

George Lim

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

logan mcgowan

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 .

Wally Vossen

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.

Christopher Gardiner

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

sugi Pandegi

Fish chowder was fantastic

Arlene McPhee

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.

alida hughes

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!

Bob Stebbings

Good view, good location and good food

Kristen Major

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!

Navdeep Kaur

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

Liz Wangari

Love this place, great food

Evan Patkai

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

Amael Caron-Gagnon

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 .

Lisa McEwan

Always a good meal. Best natchos around hands down.

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.

Craig Perry

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.

Anita Burke

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

Vitali

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

Mandy Olsen

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!

Patricia Watson

Everything was wonderfull

Olivier Morin

Great food and service

Oleksii Lugovyi

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.

Nadine Macdonald

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

Mike Flynn

Definitely amazing foods to refresh your body...

Russell Mosher

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

Jeff MacDonald

Meghan McCarthy

Best Eggs Benedict Brunch I have every experienced.

Ellen Jameson

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.

Sean Henderson

Amazing food, service is amazing. Very friendly staff

Phil Irons

I love the food there

Henry Wang

They really serve delicious food.

Reg Donovan

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!

Nancy MacQueen

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.

Donald Mac Fadyen

Good restaurant

Derek Gouthro

Good fish and chips, and lobster roll

Dmac Mac Gillivary

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.

Blair G

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!

Kara Lackie

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

Talie Chupik

Good food in lovely environment ❤

Tamara Stone

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 ????

Blair Aucoin

Awesome service, and delicious food - as per usual. Always delivers!

A C

Dine in

Cody Pardy

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

Travis Young

amazing location on the harbour and great fresh seafood!

Curtis Lucas

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!!

Jordan Lameman

The food was delicious

Beth J

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

Chris Rappel

The meal was awesome

Aryeh Ben-Yehudah

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

Darren Lynk

Amazing restaurant!!

Vicki T

Great service and food

Daniel R. Dufresne

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.

Tracey Jardine

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 ????????

Rob Deveaux

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.

Mary Blanchard

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.

Liz Healy

Excellent. Thanks to the Chef

Stephanie Compton

Delishes food. Great service!

Kevin Reviews

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!

Lisa Courville

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.

Melanie LeBlanc

Excellent

John Prendergast

Great chili

David Serwatuk

Jennifer Thompson

(Translated) Good, excellent food .. And nice view of Sydney Harbor (Original) Bien, nourriture excellente.. Et belle vue sur le port de Sydney

Stephen Paul

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

Joseph Lee

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

James MacKinnon

Great Mussels!

Shawn Underhill

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

David Mackley

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

(Translated) Glassed, panoramic location overlooking the Sydney Harbor. Friendly staff attentive to customer needs. Large menu (2 pages) with proposals of both fish and meat. I tried cod and scallops with mashed potatoes and mango chutney. Great. Drink a good selection of local beers. Recommended (Original) Location a vetri, panoramica con vista sul porto di Sydney. Personale gentile ed attento alle esigenze del cliente. Menù ampio ( 2 pagine ) con proposte tanto di pesce che di carne. Ho provato merluzzo e capesante con purèe di patate e chutney di mango. Ottimo. Da bere buona selezione di birre locali. Consigliato

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

Paul Musgrave

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

Craig Hickman

Delicious meal!

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.

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.

Cavel Rahey

Great!

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.
