My mum was turning 80 so I wanted a special lunch for her. After google searches of ‘Best Seafood Restaurants in Sydney with best views’ Harbourside Seafood Restaurant kept popping up (the others that popped up were ones we had already been too) so I took a leap of faith and chose this Venue. The service and staff were fantastic and faultless. The atmosphere and location was excellent. Unfortunately the food was nice but nothing to particularly rave about and disappointing. I wouldn’t go back in a hurry for a food experience. The oysters and entrees were quite nice but the mains really let it down. The cost was very very expensive for what it was. Can’t fault but can’t recommend.

We had our 10th wedding anniversary celebration here on Saturday 30/11/24 - we had our reception at a former venue at the same location. We loved it. Amazing food, great view, lovely service - well worth the trip. We will be back!

I visited with a reservation at 11:00 AM on November 22nd. It was a place I had always wanted to visit, and I came here with high expectations to celebrate my friend's birthday. I ordered live lobster in advance when I made the reservation and was able to get a discount, which was nice. The view was great and the food was great too. But the staff service was very poor. She was not friendly from the moment she greeted us. Her expressionless face and stiff attitude made us feel uncomfortable. Also I asked for sparkling water again and it didn't come for over 20 minutes and when I asked her again she said she forgot. We also wanted to order dessert, but no matter how many times we signaled to the staff, they never came to us. The food was great and I would go back again, but I think the staff needs more service training.

Food was great. Great atmosphere with a beautiful view of the Opera house and Harbour bridge. But what stood out the most and made our dining experience even more memorable was the excellent service by waiter Suman. He was so attentive and showed genuine care for his customers. His recommendations for food and wine were spot on! Will definitely be coming back!

The perfect place to have Sunday lunch with the view of Harbour Bridge. The staff were all friendly & attentive. The food was good. My husband love his Barramundi and the dessert Mille Feuille was divine! My mocktail the Watermelon Blast was refreshing. We love our experience here.

Finally made it to Harbourfront and I was not disappointed. We got a table right at the front with the best view. Started with the flatbread, loaded with pumpkin topping and delicious. The octopus had a salty sauce which was amazing. My friend had the barramundi which she was super happy with. I had the pasta with request to hold the chilli and it was really nice. We also ordered a side of chips which was huge. We had no room for dessert. The stand out is that every dish was super tasty, nothing was bland. Service was wonderful, couldn't ask for more.

The location is of course epic opposite the Opera house and it would be a great place to take overseas guests. The food was excellent. All of the fish dishes from appetiser to mains were delicious. Our server Marcos could not have been more attentive. Overall a lovely evening at a lovely restaurant.

Alex was good. Served well and had a great manner. Really enjoyed atmosphere. For the approx. $50 price tag I would have assumed better quality seafood, the flake it was lacking in depth of flavour. Pasta was great from the prawn linguine and sauce was great. The prawns were pretty low quality though which was disappointing. The flake was good and the barramundi was alright, I d give them a 6 and a 5 respectively. Overall I d still recommend, for a great atmosphere and fine dining experience where the portion sizes are reasonable.

We had the best time at the Harbourfront, celebrating a 60th birthday. The team were so helpful pre function, ensuring every detail was dealt with. On the day the amazing service continued. The food was thoroughly delicious. For a restaurant that has now been around for many years...I remember going in my youth, what an amazing effort and success story. Thank you Habourfront for making our day so special.

Great location even though, we got to look at a cruiseship for the day. As a group dining, we chose the Opera Menu so all had choices and, everyone loved their meal choice. There was also a great selection of beverages to suit everyone. Our only critisim is that the outdoor area could do with some fans above the tables (if at all possible). It happend that we were dining on a very humid day. Everyone in the group would be more than happy for a return visit.

On an awesome night decided to sit down and have some BABY CALAMARI with cold drinks beers and aperols on the table TO BEGIN WITH But the baby calamary $28 a portion looked like scraps from the cheapest squid on the market(more crumbs then calamari),sorry guys just pure disappointment from customer perspective and pure greed from restaurant owners unfortunately way to often seen these days on these prime spots. Staff was very polite and you could see clearly instructed to push guests that having relax time (trust me drinking and spending not wasting time) BUT CLEARLY DECIDED NOT TO PROCEED TO MAIN COURSE OR DESERT

From when I booked to the end of our work lunch I could not fault the service, attention to detail or food. When we arrived a little early for our work Christmas lunch we were welcomed warmly. Staff were consummate professionals and the food was excellent quality. I noted a staff member approach a table near ours and offer the diners a chair to put their bags on to avoid the bags getting wet. We will definitely revisit as it was a great afternoon.

Everything about this wonderful place is perfect. Setting was amazing with a view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge - good fortune that there was no cruise ship in port at the time of our dinner! Waitress was bright and bubbly, and super efficient - food was delicious - our Chinese guests were left very satisfied with the Seafood Platter for two, as well as sampling the Sydney Rock Oyster they had heard so much about. Really great experience!

We went to make an evening reservation in the morning and were told by the hostess that they only had a few reservations on the books for that evening so a reservation was not necessary. We went around 5pm for dinner and were then told by another hostess that they had a large holiday event at the restaurant that evening and could not accommodate diners. This was extremely disappointing as we were looking forward to dining here. The restaurant management seems very disorganized and would not recommend wasting your time to come here.

December 2024: Since last year, I have had 7 or 8 meals here, and everyone s feedback has been good. Especially the location and the scenery make the atmosphere feel amazing. As for the dishes, ranging from high-end seafood platters to ordinary three-course meals, you can enjoy 2 hours of wonderful time in this beautiful corner of the rocky area, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, facing the Sydney Bridge and the Opera House.

Me and my friend chose to go to this restaurant to end our study abroad period, we wanted to celebrate this at a meaningful location as we met each other here in Sydney where we both are very great full for! This restaurant gave us the PERFECT night, we loved the food, de fish was very well cooked and so tasteful! They had a great variety of wines to chose from, you could literally chose anything! And then the dessert, we chose to order the tiramisu as a safe option but this was even fresher and tastier than we had expected. We also ordered the deconstructed matcha cheesecake, this was amazing we never had such a tasty and unique dessert, this restaurant really stands out and delivered us a night we will always remember!!!

Excellent location by Sydney Harbour, remarkable views of both the opera house & bridge. Stopped in here for some afternoon cheese and wine over the weekend and were greeted by Gita at the front of house, who also served as our waiter throughout. This lady is truly an asset to the team and the business so welcoming and with broad knowledge of wines. It was so nice to have a quick chat with her in between service. Great afternoon in the sun, good selection of cheese & delicious chilled pinot!

Booked a dinner to celebrate my wife s birthday. Food is tasty. Service is the best. The waiter Suman is very friendly. He made a small mistake but was very honest to admit it and resolve the issue faster than I have ever experienced elsewhere. The atmosphere is no doubt the best. Seeing the cruise ship leaving berth and the Opera House appears is the best scene. Recommend everyone check sydney port authority website for cruise ship docking dates so you can figure out your eastern view.

Very good food with a beautiful view of the Opera but: Very long service (it took us 2 hours for starter + main course). The waiters never scan their terrace to check if a customer needs something (I wanted to order bread to accompany my dish and impossible to get their attention, even by waving at them for 15 minutes! So I finally got up)

We had a wonderful group dinner for about 18 guests at Harbourfront Seafood Restaurant Sydney. It was a pleasure to work with Natalie during the planning process. She was clear, communicative, flexible, and obviously understands group needs. The location was amazing with clear views of the Sydney Bridge and the Opera House (we lucked out by no cruise ships being there.) Guests enjoyed taking photos before sitting down. Service was spot on - not too rushed and not too lax. Service staff was friendly and efficient. Even though it rained all day leading up and was a bit cool, it was perfectly comfortable with the clear side flaps down and the built-in heat lamps. Of course, the food was excellent. Thank you for a great experience! We would certainly return with another group in future.

My wife and I went here on our honeymoon. We were staying at the Park Hyatt and seemed to have good food, good reviews and was a quick walk for us. The first night was great! They went above and beyond to try to make the dinner a special evening. Checking on us and even having the chef come to the table after a dietary restriction was misunderstood and was promptly and happily corrected. We had enjoyed our experience so much that on the last night of our honeymoon as we were tired and didn t want to think or travel far for dinner we decided we would go back. This time however was no where near as pleasant. The hostess had remembered us and were seated quickly. But then took extraordinarily long to be approached about drink orders-we waited close to 15min. Then even longer for food. Drinks finally came out after the first course was finished. Then the main course took quite some time and the waiter, who seemed to pay attention to every other table but ours, couldn t even be bothered to bring some tomato sauce for the fries. Upset with the service we did not have dessert and took forever to get the check and had to approach the hostess to accomplish this as clearly the waiter could care less. We tried getting his attention multiple times and he would not event look at us. This to say too that the restaurant was not particularly busy. Much less than the previous night. Poor service can really kill the experience even if the atmosphere and food are up to par.

I came with a group of friends and they all had the prawn linguine and loved it. I, however had the John Dory. Whilst It was ok I had a few issues with it. Firstly it was extremely salty and my second gripe was that the fish came with only a few small blistered tomatoes (which I didn t like and didn t eat) and that s it. I don t ask for much but a couple sprigs of broccolini or a a few asparagus etc) would have been a complete meal. I want to ask the chef that if his wife presented him with just a piece of fish for dinner, would he be ok with that? Having said my piece I have to add that the service was impeccable, the view was amazing and my friends would have given them five stars for the food. Vegetarian options: There were a couple of options.

Had been here many years ago and are planning another date to go for a larger shared seafood plater that we noted on the menu. Great position looking out onto the harbour, staff apologized for the cruise liner blocking some of the opera house view. Booking was in my name, Natlie, booking manager helped us as well.

Been here twice and the food and service were very good on both occasions. At night, the view of the opera house across the water is just breathtaking. Good selection on the menu, offering something for everyone. Wine list is quite extensive without being spectacular. Overall, a really pleasant dining experience. Barramundi is a must have; fresh, beautifully cooked with a delicious shellfish sauce.

November 23, 2024

This restaurant has a 4.2-star rating, but I believe many of the reviews are likely paid!!! Last week, I dined here with my family, and the experience was truly disappointing. The food was lackluster, and both the waiter and manager seemed poorly trained. They delivered the wrong dish to our table, refused to replace it, and insisted incorrectly that it was what we ordered. The staffs lack of accountability was especially concerning, and it left a negative impression overall.

This is the restaurant that left me with the best memories of my entire trip to Sydney. All of the staff were friendly, and I was especially grateful to the Asian servers (one female and one male) for their attentive service. The food was good, and the view was amazing. Make a reservation and get a good seat! Thank you for making my birthday a memorable one.

Amazing food and superb service! Iam not a big fries person but I ended up eating a very big portion of the fries. I dont know what they did to it, but it was really good. The pasta was cooked really well with just the right balance of the flavours to let a bit of the acid cut through. The fish was perfectly cooked, maintaining that crispy skin and nice, moist fish. The sauce was delicate and perfectly matched how the fish was seasoned. The burrata and poached fruits was the top seller for me! The nuances of the cheese mixed with the different fruits brought lovely highnotes, with just the perfect sweetness and tanginess to balance out the creaminess of the burrata.

Waited 1 hour for the beef shank we ordered, when we asked for take away box for the 1/3 of the food that was left over, as we don t want to waste the food, we were told they don t offer take away service, which was not explained properly when we ordered the food. So what are they going to do with the leftovers? Dump it in the trash? Food quality is ok, considering you are paying almost twice as much as a lot other restaurants including the ones in the Rocks.

Definitely not the place if you like quality food. We ordered the seafood platter, there was hardly anything on it and the seafood was inedible. This has to be one of the worst platters I ve ever had. My smoked salmon also came with a surprise hair . We were offered free dessert as compensation, but we weren t willing to take the risk.

Overrated place only because the harbour bridge and Oprah house is next to where this restaurant is. I went in with high expectations as we were celebrating a birthday and work gig, quite honestly not impressed. The food we ordered wasn t great and the oysters wasn t fresh [I love oysters so I know if it s fresh or not - this was nooooot fresh:(] and the other food speaks for itself on the pictures. I mean for the cost, I am unhappy! I cook better food than this. The service wasn t great either, had a wait and wait before someone comes to serve. Anyway, don t recommend this place at all!

This was our view from the table. Not bad. The cocktails were ok but nothing special. I got the seafood linguini which was pretty spicy. I would recommend it, altough I am not accustomed to having chorizo sauage in my seafood pasta. The seafood was fresh at least. The focaccia bread was awful, some of the worst I have ever been served. Overall the nicest thing here was the view and outdoor atmosphere

Food was tasty but the prawns were tough like leather shoe laces. A seafood restaurant should be able to cook prawns as a basic, hence the 2 stars for food. Also focaccia was really bad and not fresh. But the service was excellent

Stunning view and great service but unfortunately some of the dishes was a let down. The rocket salad and chips was delicious but the hot and cold seafood platter was below average. It had tiny oyster and prawns, the balmain bug meat was a bit dry and chewy, the platter had mostly muscles which is why I couldnt justify the $275 price. The seafood pasta was fresh but lack a bit flavor. Overall presentation was beautiful but taste could of have been alot better.
