Worked nearby for more than five years but did not have the chance to try the famous restaurant. Finally got the opportunity and loved it! Especially the grill whole John Dory on special menu. It was cook just right and so tender and juicy. Will go back and try other dishes.

tina mclendon

What a find. This is one busy little Restaurant and for a reason. I dropped in to see if a table was free later as it was heaving and was told to return an hour and half later and they would fit us in. On returning it was still packed but they did squeeze us in. And how pleased we were that they did. The service was exemplary as was the food and wine. The BBQ Morton Bay Bugs are amazing... I would suggest booking to ensure you get to experience this place. Highly recommended

Sean Larson

Great seafood restaurant! The prawns and bug were fabulous! Desserts were phenomenal as well. Only critique is the salads seemed disjointed from the main they were being served with.

Aidan Sawyer

The food was very good and definitely recommend for Moreton bay bugs. Seafood and bubbles nothing is better. Service could have been a little nicer all tho the waitress at the end was very nice and gave us a few recommendations on were to go. One guy was quite rude when we came in earlier that day to make a reservation and immediately snapped at us. And during dinner he would say stuff that he wouldn’t actually do but I wouldn’t let that ruin my meal but food was satisfying.

Ben Slivka

Excellent spot for lunch. We had fresh local John Sorry and Swordfish entrees, which were outstanding. Friendly knowledgeable wait staff!

Ella Sian

I visited this place for dinner with friends. The food was fantastic, we tried the entree platter, seafood spaghettini and scallops . The dessert of pavlova with lemon curd and berries was nice but too sweet. The service was excellent and the restaurant is a cute little building with lovely bright interior

William Scott

Our group of American business associates thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The staff were attentive, friendly and willing to offer suggestions. The food was fresh and well prepared. The walk from our hotel was short and scenic. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sydney.

Mandy Thompson

Set in a quaint area a little ways from The Rocks District, this amazing restaurant offers a great menu, delicious food and great service. The Early Bird at 6 PM Is the best value for Sydney since prices are usually very high. We had a baked snapper for the main course. The serving was huge. For the appetizer, we chose the Crab Cakes which was also quite delicious. Reservations in advance is a must since they are generally booked in advance.

The menu is not extensive, however it is new daily to showcase the freshest in season fare. The service was friendly & helpful & not intrusive.We shared 3 starter courses & each had a main course & shared 2 dessert courses. They delivered a complimentary birthday candle in a rich chocolate fondant at the end of the dinner .... nice touch!

Katharine Dubuis

We used to love flying fish when it was at its previous location on the pier and were excited to go back. Food was delicious but unfortunately service really let the whole experience down. For a fine dining restaurant I really expect more. For example, they gave us dirty menus, mixed our drink orders up and sat us in a really empty soulless back room away from main area. I wouldn’t go back.

Sharon K

Flying Fish is super underrated in my opinion. I’ve always had amazing food and service and I’ve been back multiple times. My favourites would have to be the prawn sandwich. Which I’m glad they put officially onto the menu after it was a secret menu item. Weather you’re there for seafood or not all the dishes are amazing including the desserts.

M Kim

Great service and atmosphere but food was average. Maybe because service was first class and i was expecting lobster spaghetti to be alot better but it wasn't. But definitely worth going back.

jordanspeed123

Best steak I have ever had. That's twice in a row I have made this claim about Flying Fish. Perfect.

Michelle Badato Tagud

This was a fancy restaurant. I liked the service. 5 star

Jared Murray

Fantastic seafood and a wonderful co-op element to their design. Their oysters where fantastically displayed on a bed of ice and seaweed surrounding their open kitchen. Prices are on the higher end but still very reasonable for the space. We have the pre theatre menu and it was all fantastic choices. They do have a large range of non-seafood dishes as well.

Nicole Hinks

Delicious! Make sure you order the prawn toasts and the crab toasts first. (Ask for them to be cut in half, they are surprisingly filling as a little starter!). And save room for the dessert. The strawberries with cream is a light but gorgeous way to end a meal.

Food is always good here. However service can be a bit of a mixed bag. They try to make more money off you and keep offering you meals that you don’t want. If I give you my order, that’s what I want. End of story

Joyce Chand

Best place to eat your favorite BBQ Prok Ribs, Great environment. Reasonable price...Have been there multiple times and never have been disappointed. Highly Recommended!!

Jaber Shah

The service is 5 stars and so is the location. We had the seafood platter which was expensive but totally worth it. You know it’s going to be good when the mussels and oysters are fresh. Fried items weren’t too heavy or oily. Highly recommend!

C C

Not trying to be sexist but majority of the male waiters here are SO unfriendly compared to the waitresses. The female employees looked after us the entire night - even fixing up mistakes done to our order by two waiters. One waiter in particular made us feel very unwelcome with his obnoxious attitude. Nothing special about the food at all, it was equivalent to overpriced pub food. Just tasted reheated. Location is good I guess. Though it will be the first and last time I’ll dine here.

J B

Happy hour great but needs more seating. Service was also a little slow and can be improved. One staff initially not very helpful with getting us a table close to the outside area, we had to ask about several tables and if a table to be cleaned for us. Stayed for dinner - bay bugs were the highlight/saviour- Perfectly cooked. Surprised after all this time the food standard is still good.

Naomi Tobiasson

Service here is amazing, lovely staff. DO NOT recommend the RIBS at all. Old tasting meat, tasted like the meat was cooked in no flavour and basted at the end. Order something else. Enjoy Maccas burgers more for 1/4 of the cost.

leigh hyam

Fantastic location, service was ok but wouldn't want to be at the restaurant when it's really busy. The food let's the location down. The steaks are tough and largely turn up over cooked. The seafood platter is the biggest disappointment of all time and not worth the money. Considering it's a grill all the fish turned up in batter or bread crumbs. The menu suggest a couple of items are but even the crab was in batter. The fish fillets taste like they are straight from the freezer. I'm not sure if anything from the platter was fresh or even freshly made. Should be embarrassed to even serve such a dish!!! Would be marked lower but the drinks and location a worth a mark each.

Dominic De Leon

Such an amazing place to dine. Their ribs are fantastic and the staff are so friendly. Really Really Really enjoyed dining here. Have an absoultely cracking day guys. See you all very soon for another super experience. 🤗🤗🤗

Gorgeous seafood, outdoor seating only. The food was so fresh and tasty, beautiful Australian sourced seafood. Alfresco dining lets you enjoy the breeze on a nice day. We went in the middle of bushfire season, so wasn’t about to enjoy Sydney’s gorgeous blue skies and sunshine. Dessert was pretty tasty too. First time here and will definitely return!

Lisa Lynch

Great date night seafood inspired restaurant at a classy location. We went for the feast at $60pp. The meals were well presented and the sizes were generous. Bookings are essential on the weekends during the warmer months. The waiter was friendly and efficient.

tina mclendon

We were recommended by a local, someone who's eaten here many times and we were not disappointed. Both of us love fish but different fish and there was almost too much choice. In the end. I went for the whiting which was fabulous, six delightful small fillets cooked to perfection; and my wife opted for snapper, equally good. Add to this a great location overlooking the harbour and you have (for us, anyway) the perfect restaurant. Not cheap but not expensive either, in the end you (should) get what you pay for; and we felt the value was spot on.

Hiep Mai

Attentive staff, tasty food, nice views. Ordered the dory and barramundi with french fries and garden salad as sides. Fish was cooked to perfection, as was the fries. Garden salad was nicely balanced, not too leafy or have too much dressing. Price is on the high end though.

Tania Cusack

Sunday lunch here was a relaxed affair. The food was very nicely cooked imaginative and fresh. You must order sides though as the fish comes on its own on the plate. Just so you know. Theres a nice choice of starters and entrees and there are dishes other than fish if you want meat or vegetable options. Staff were helpful and friendly

Gabriel McCarthy

What a delightful experience we had. The waiters made sure to get our mothers dessert covered in candles and sung happy birthday with us. Amazing oysters (worth it), we tried a lot of thing and loved them all. Highly recommend the polenta chips, barramundi and Brussel sprouts (yes I said Brussel sprouts - holy god they were amazing)!! Thanks for an amazing night all!

Amit Chakraborty

If you are looking for a nice dinner with fish and seafood as your primary choice, this place will not disappoint. Modern decor, lively atmosphere, friendly staff, the service is fairly quick. The dishes are nicely presented and are full of flavour. My only gripe was the rainbow trout. It was overcooked, the skin was burnt. Recommended their puy lentils and mushroom salad.

Mia Barry

We went here for a business lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. Food cam be hit and miss at Barangaroo and I would go here again. The good overall was a but oily but they were able to cater for my dairy free requirements and service was quick and pleasant . I liked that there was a sustainable edge to the restaurant

As part of an Opera Australia package I choose Searock as it had a more extensive menu than the other two options; on arrival drinkers were quickly served and orders taken. My lamb backstrap was very delicious and cooked to perfection and my dining companion had the seafood curry which was also very, very good. We were out in plenty of time to walk to the Opera House for an amazing rendition of Don Giovanni.

veronica shin

It is very good location, BUT the food and staff services are same as I expected. $110 seafood platter was big over priced. Outside seats are pretty cheap that u could find semi take away shop... I wouldn't go there again for seafood. Could be good for glass of beer or wine to chill out.

Andrew McDonald

Great lunch options including the $19 steak and chips. Frosty cold beer and great scenery overlooking Sydney Harbor. Attentive friendly service. Enjoyed my lunch here.

Basel Malko

I love this place... Lovley hostess... Fast food service even in rush lunch hour... The food was tasty... Finally friendly staff who's took the order and helped us quickly... I recommend everyone to go there....

John Harding

Nice place for oysters. But somehow we got the dishes mixed up and we got twice the oysters we ordered. But they were nice and well cooked. Some plain and some with bacon and Worcestershire sauce. All xnt. Average beer prices. Nice waterfront location. Back from the Opera House frantic pace. A more relaxed setting.

Lorraine Little

Dinner in the evening for four people, food was fantastic and service attentive and friendly. We also called back next day and they had happy hour food and drinks, really enjoyed food and drinks. Puddings are scrumptious.

Zak Dib

Perfect views of Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge. Plenty of nice outdoor seating tables. Good menu to choose from, including lunch specials. Variety of drinks available as well. Their chicken garden salad is very nice and served fresh. Their steak rump and chips are good as well and cooked perfectly medium as requested. Staff are nice and friendly with good customer service.

Marianna Kim

1/2 priced oysters, burgers, and fish&chips plus house beers and wine ($25 per bottle) and $10 selected cocktails during the happy hour. Staff were friendly and helpful. My friend loves Circular Quay area so it was a perfect afternoon catch up spot.

Always fresh, cooked to perfection and excellent service. Spectacular view with outdoor and indoor seating. Drinks list has something for everyone. Date night or family eat out you can have a conversation with out needing to shout at each other. Gotta say an impressive place to take that first date to guys!

Amanda Jane

Thank you for making my mums birthday very special for us all. The service was amazing as well as the food! Definitely worth every penny. I highly recommend.

Penny Christie

Had an impromptu lunch at Nick’s Seafood Restaurant in Darling Harbour. You seat yourself and order at the bar. There was just two girls working but the service was still adequate. The food on the lunch menu was sandwiches, wraps, burgers and cafe style food which seemed to be all freshly made in the kitchen behind the counter. They had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available.

Allen Lane

This restaurant needs a medal, the staff knew there job and service were really great, Waiter new about wines which we enjoy, and Tap Beer was really chilled and nicely presented. The choice of meals was great,I'm sure everyone would enjoy something on the meal, the platers were so well presented we never had one the next table did, and wow. We had king prawns and they were really nice.

tina mclendon

Phil Gold

Bloody expensive but bloody good! Views are great. Bar to grab a drink prior to sitting at the dinner table is nice; cool aquarium built into the bar. Average range of non alcoholic beverages for non drinkers. Food was amazing. Forgot to ask for grilled fish instead of battered on the platter - would have been nice to be prompted rather than assumed fried, but that would be the popular option. Team were friendly and efficient, always one in eyeline if you needed anything. The veggies were a little undercooked in the linguine but all other food was superb. Desserts are very large, definitely for sharing, not solo. Overall a great experience, I'll be sure to live off rice for a week so I can afford to come back. Speaking of - steamed rice listed on the side dishes, thank you.

Geoff Cannon

Great food in a great location, costs a bit $$$ but the food is fresh and atmosphere is nice. Great place for a special meal. Lots of cheaper options also if you just want to enjoy the great location of darling harbour.

Rachel Parker

Went here for a friend's birthday on a Saturday night. The location is gorgeous, the seating is all very close together. The food was good. We were booked for 2 hours and after 1 hour it felt like the staff were trying to hurry us out, trying to pick plates up before it was finished ect.

This restaurant was recommended by our Tour Guide and it met the expectations. Service was top quality and food excellent. The menu shows pictures of the various plates and that helps to make good choices. The price for food by the weight is presented prior to cooking for your acceptance and this is a very good practice. Lovely food but very busy and quite expensive. I love how all the fish is fresh. I only dined by myself which meant I could only try a few things . I would love to go back with a load of people and try a lot more.

Jessica Uzabeaga

Love this place. We have been 3 times so far since we stopped going to their other restaurant at The Star. Service of staff and quality of food is so much better here. We have always had a pleasant experience. It is more expensive though, at least $20-30 per dish more expensive than the one at Star.

Eric Lo

People say the service isn't good but it's decent if you're used to an Asian setting. They offer premium seafood that is hard to find elsewhere so you pay for the type of food you get. We ordered shrimp and clams and (though we come from a seafood-deprived country) was the best we've ever had especially the clams! It was very fresh and well prepared! Just be careful of being too close to the "splash zone" :) I noticed they have a full time staff squeegeeing the floor!

Ozzy Kunnu

After some beautiful culinary experience we were pretty excited about this place. Supposed to be known for their live seafood. Without going into too much details, the food was very overrated, pricey and not close to the Chinese / Cantonese food we have had so far...Quite bland and tasteless. Attendants are all over you, trying to get your order soon....kinda intimidating. This is a place for those who don't care to go through too much details in the menu and order live seafood that's weighed and than cooked for obscene amount of Dollars.....

George Markos

We chose a live coral trout for lunch. We had this fish at other restaurants before and it is very tasty. IT WAS TASTELESS!!! Cost as $170.00!!! I heard some restaurants take the live fish and put it in a tank in the kitchen area and use a frozen fish in lieu. Fish at the Fish Markets is far better and at a fraction of the cost.

Kimberley Kells

A Sydney Institution and for good reason. Golden Century has been dishing up absolutely delicious Cantonese food for decades. Frequented by Sydneys top chefs, after knock off, it is a lunch time venue, dinner venue and late night venue. Wonderful for big groups with very generous serving sizes. Seafood always top grade and super fresh.

stephanie Li

Great seafood restaurant! As the fishes are fresh and can choose out of the aquarium. Make a lot of different with the taste

Pamela Kan

We were first at the restaurant as we arrived a bit early before lunch service had started. Staff seemed a bit disorganised however it was the Lunar New Year. Have been previously about 3 times for dinner and the food was excellent. This time was for lunch and I didn't feel the standard was as good. Some tables filled after us and were ordering and eating before our table and dishes were average. The staff were all very nice thou. Will return as this may of been a one off not so good occasion.

An extremely delicious meal. Fabulous upper quality seafood. The service is top end. The views and ambience are stunning. Complementary chocolates at the end. Expensive but at least they come through with quality for that. A fine dining experience.

Michael K

One of the best seafood restaurants in Sydney. Many have said it has gone downhill. I had a good experience a little while ago

Kallia Katsikas

One of the best restaurants in the St George area, not to mention in all of Sydney, with a gorgeous view! The food is consistently amazing and service is unparalleled. I cannot recommend this place enough for seafood lovers.

Hasssn Faraj

So I came in and ordered the seafood platter which was 190dollars . It was the worst seafood platter I have ever eaten . The value for money was a joke I was given rice and fruits in the platter to make it look like there was food . There was 4 cold pieces of prawns 2 oysters a few slices of smoked salmon which looked like they were from woolies, and the hot section was a few pieces of prawns some squid octopus and some rice . I left there feeling like I was robbed . That platter should not be more then $50 at max I will never ever return to this place . THAT WAS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF . 0/10

Joan Monching

I was so disappointed with my Christmas Day Lunch at Lugarno Seafood Restaurant. I ordered Turkey and ham for my main meal and it was absolutely swimming in gravy, you could not see the meat because of the gravy. The Turkey was just ok but the ham was not leg ham I was looking forward to...just 2 pieces of thin awful ham. Also the plate lacked any greens. The desserts were nothing to write home about .also...

Melissa Mitchell

Great value dining experience. Had the lunch time special. Staff were attentive and accommodating. Highly recommended.

brett halloran

This place is a old school classic. Food and service great! If you like a drink recommend Uber in & out.

Great food, fantastic service, an amazing view and at a decent price. The salmon and barramundi are great. Plus there is a huge range of desserts.

Pick any fish and chip shop on any corner of almost any city, and it will be better than this place - in terms of the quality of the seafood, the (lack of...) service and the price.... the seafood was unbelievably poor, especially so given, the ready access to the Sydney Fish Markets.

Ognian Dimitrov

There used to be a Greek restaurant here, now it's Chinese. The food and service were OK, but they just didn't fit my taste.

Vanessa Willenberg

Great meal, great place. I’m surprised by the bad reviews because we had a really good time. Was there on Friday and met the new manager Tim, nice guy. Maybe that’s what’s changed? I’ll definitely be back, the coffee is really good and the seafood is great. they have so much space and are also licensed. Nicer than being inside with the chaos and the struggle to find seating.

John Cameron

Great if you lucky enough to get a table inside on a hot day and better than dealing with the crowds in the main building. Seafood platter including bottle of wine is a good deal.

T M

We ordered the Beer Battered Ling with Chips and also had a garden salad and 1 glass wine, the beer batter taste and flavor was amazing, my brother ordered there famous sea food platter, everything was fresh and hot straight out to us from being coked, The General Manger did come up to us to ask how we felt the food and service was and he explained that we have gone back to original large portion and only seafood. and offer the best taste Sydney fish markets offer. There is heaps of space to sit down and relax and eat not like inside the markets this is chilled and relaxed i really think you should give it a go was amazing and ill be back again

Annette Burnham

$48 Seafood platter for two a joke. Probably contained about $20 worth of fried rubbish. Very disappointing.

Tony Elia

food was fine. but really expensive. i thought it would be cheaper cause theres no middle man. the sea is right there where they get all thier stock. then i guess someone will say your paying for freshness. eiter way dont go expecting to see a difference in price in terms of lower..higher yes lower no.

anthony chung

Really high quality fresh and live seafood cooked in traditional Cantonese style. Sydney fish market fresh produce cooked and served to you in a non fuss manner. We had a really enjoyable dinner and will happily come back when we visit Sydney again.
