Very unimpressed. Asked for medium rare scotch fillet, but it was as blue as the sky. Seafood hotpot was full of broken shells and for the money you pay definitely not worth it. Wouldn't recommend it at all.

Great food, great view of Sydney harbour bridge, very welcoming and generous owner/chef! Live performance from a young violinist is a big plus. Highly recommended!!!

Reserved for new year celebration, food and service was amazing. They were sold out, but they were still on top of their customer service game. Would love to go there again for breakfast.

Terrible wagyu beef burger, the beef was anaemic, rubbery and dry. I’m not a picky eater and I couldn’t take more than a few bites. Burger held together very well because there was so few ingredients in it. Chicken burger was stock standard, good enough. Seafood Risotto was pretty good. In their defence they offered to remake the burger but that was well after everyone else finished their food and frankly I reckon it would have turned out the same. Staff were polite. Never going back.

The view is spectacular so it can be hard to get a spot in the outside seating area on the weekend or other popular times. The food is fresh and very well presented. Everything is good, but that would be expected in a restaurant in this location. It's also very expensive but that is another thing that is to be expected. There is air-conditioning inside the restaurant which is good and it's not too noisy inside so you can easily chat with a group. The wood fired pizza is recommended.

Went on the 25th of October and had the most beautiful time! Both the service and food were really good! I really liked my drink and my girlfriend did too
The entree was the most delicious thing I'd ever eaten before I want to go back just to have that!!!
Beautiful views as well of the harbour
Definitely would recommend!!!! 😁😁

Wait/Door staff could use some warmth. Pizza was very average, the arrancini was not very good at all. The location is prime with a beautiful view however. Ate here during happy hour, but would probably not eat here during standard hours. Happy hour prices are good. Thanks for the experience.

We went there during the happy hour and got the Antispasto platter for 1/2 price which was really worth it!! The selection of meat and cheese was quite good. The pasta of the day (crab & prawn linguine) was tasty, but the Pollo pizza was a bit of a disappointment. The pizza wasn’t bad but tasted just okay. The charming lychee cocktail was okay as well. Overall, the experience was still enjoyable with the Circular Quay vibes :)

Beautiful location and view, meals small and overpriced though. I got the seafood risotto $36 was WAY TOO SALTY and they added 15% surcharge for public holiday 🙄.
They allowed use of dine nsw voucher.
My friend got the grilled chicken meal she had to send back looked way undercooked. Was good when cooked more but didn't look that appetizing to me
Service was OK not nasty but not overly friendly either, very neutral

This was the worst experience I've had eating maybe anywhere, let alone Sydney. Paid $9 for two waters we didn't receive. $24 for a "Caprese Salad" which means basically two tomatoes you could pick from your garden and a clump of mozzarella. $12 for "garlic bread pizza" which was some bread with garlic sprinkled on it and finally a waiter who ignored us so much that we actually paid $9 for two waters because it would have taken another half hour to get it off the check and it wasn't worth the wait. Do yourself a favor if you go by the place and think

Happy hour menu is very good. The cocktail we had is very delicious also the food. Only down side I would say it took 15 mins before someone came to our table and take our order, may I also add the same issue with the next table beside us they been waiting for quite sometime too, so when my husband give the waiter the wave we asked her politely to take the next table order before us. I send my son to the counter to order for his drink( LLB) he is only 12, I don't know why on earth the waitress think my son order for BEER, as far as i concerned with the RSA cert you are not allowed to serve

Full disclosure, it was around 10:10 PM and we had had a very full day and had walked almost 15 miles around the city that day (no exaggeration, it was clocked on my Fitbit). I say this because we were beat, hungry, and in desperate search of food on a Sunday where everything closed at 10 PM.

We asked what time the place closed. The server explained the kitchen would close in about 20 minutes and the bar in about 35 minutes. I stated, "we don't want to be those people, we'll keep going." The server was extremely kind, and despite the encroaching closing time, actually

Extremely mediocre and pricey. And just when you decide it's pricey for what it is and you probably won't bother again, the bill comes with a 10% weekend surcharge and you're like, ha! Really, really never again. It's a tourist trap on the harbour. The end!

It was a hot day and we wanted to get a drink before heading out to our next destination. Great location, between the Sydney Opera house and Circular Quay station. They have outside seating that over looks the harbour. We had our drinks but our server was busy the rest of the time we were there and never had the opportunity to order another round of drinks.

Cozy little restaurant in a busy touristy area. Serves lunch and dinner but only stayed for coffee and antipasto platter.

Coffee was great but the service was a touch slow although the restaurant wasn't very busy.

Bit tight for large groups or customers with children and prams.

I guess according to this table Mat, I should have ordered the Linguine Al Cartoccio! Terrible service! The waiter "forgot" our drinks! The food was mediocre at best. Ordered the cauliflower soup and the chicken without flavoring. Definitely will not be coming here again

The seafood pasta special was great, the drink amore was extraordinary, the service was marginal at best, did not even bring bread to table. Had to asked for service otherwise would still be sitting waiting.

While the selection (and probably the quality) of restaurants in the Star Casino/Darling Harbour/King Street Wharf/Barangaroo Wharf area far exceeds that in Circular Quay, nothing can compete with the geography of Circular Quay. Eastbank has a fabulous location - great views of all of the ferries coming in and our of Circular Quay, the sunset, the Rocks district, the cruise ship terminal, and of course the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I had dinner here one night and spent less than $30 USD on a beer and my main. My Tagliatelle Bolognese came out steaming hot, portion was huge, and was very flavorful

This is an indoor and outdoor restaurant on the (very) touristy Quay West area. Because we were hungry, we ignored the average rating and had lunch there.

They offer a $17 lunch special. I had the talk we are Tagliatelle Bolognese, Which was very good. My wife had the fish and chips. Unfortunately, the fish batter was very doughy on the inside and not very tasty. The french fries, however, were very good.

Initial service was very prompt then we felt a bit neglected. The meal was about what you would expect for the hyper-touristy area.

Came here for lunch after walking around the area. It was a beautiful day, so we opted to sit outside. They had $17 lunch specials which caught our eye. My friend had the chicken and avocado salad. I had the luciferno pizza and a mango pina colada. My virgin mango pina colada was wonderful creamy and refreshing.

The pizza consisted of a spicy salami, brie, basil, and tomato sauce. It was a decent size and pretty good. The salami slices could have been smaller as they were hard to bite through. My friend's salad was quite disappointing as it was very small. They also did not serve us water

Well, I'm not going to say too much about this. The food was decent. Atmosphere pleasant, but noisy. Staff not terribly attentive. I just can't get beyond the fact that they charged me $1.50 for a cup of hot water. I've been to a lot of restaurants. I order this all the time because I get cold easily (especially when for example they sit me near the OPEN DOOR). Being charged for it... that is a first.

Great service, and extremely cooperative with any dietary needs/requests. Vegan changes here are also quite enjoyable considering the menu. Fantastic view as well, along with the atmosphere!!

Primo people watching location!
We came here 2 days in a row to soak up some rays and have some beers. My brother insisted on this place because they had darker beers than some of the other bars - which for him is a must.
The soup special of the day was pumpkin. I didn't order it, because we were drinking our dinner, but if it was as tasty as it looked, I'd be sold.
The hostesses were both very nice and we got really good service from our wait staff, so if we ever come back to Sydney, the pier and this restaurant in particular will be right where we head.

This review is based on dinner on 14 Oct 2014.

Food here is good! (Compared to a couple of years ago, was overpriced and just not very good.)

Beetroot Salad - Fresh veggies, goat cheese, not-too-soft beets, hazelnuts. I love beets, so this was not disappointing at all.

Tiger Prawn and Mango Salad - generous amount of large prawns, crunchy water-cress, huge juicy chunks of mango. Tangy dressing. I really enjoyed the mango.

Antipasto - I was really happy with this one. Three different kinds of cured meats, some soft cheese (very mild, very creamy), a plate of olives, sundried tomatoes and a stack

This place is great. My favourite Italian in Sydney, prices are reasonable but the food quality and the service is amazing. Great atmosphere for nice family dinner or date or even to come eat alone.

I come here and always get the linguine special!
