So it was later in the evening(9:25pm) and not many places
So it was later in the evening(9:25pm) and not many places were open but we found them to be open until 11pm. We asked if we could order food and the bartender said yes if we ordered immediately. She was annoyed that we walked up for service. Mind you there wasn't a soul in the place! We got our order in and sat down . Upon sitting we realized she made my husbands drink wrong. He ordered a double Bullet on the rocks. She mixed it with coke- what a way to ruin a good bourbon! My husband took it back to her immediately without even taking a sip and said he didn't order his drink with coke. She was completely annoyed that she would have to remake it , because of her mistake! We received our dinner pretty quick as we only ordered two ceasar salads and a bread basket. The young woman that brought it to us was very pleasant. The salads were very large. So that was a pleasant surprise. Plenty of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, and the chicken was actually a cooked chicken( as we had bones!) Didn't much care for the dressing , as it was very anchovy forward. Too fishy . Bread was amazing. Glad we were able to get some food, but wouldn't return for the poor service.

The best service I have ever received anywhere in the world! the food was excellent and beautiful views of the Sydney harbor and bridge.
Be the first to ReplyThis timed seating ridiculousness has to end.
The pandemic is over so there's no excuse any more. Been told, politely, that if we wanted desert we would have to eat it in the lounge less then 2hrs into our meal is unacceptable. Food and ambience is still amazing, service is still good but the fact that there are a "lot of double bookings tonight" (their words) isn't the patrons problem. Patrons btw paying $200 to $300 per head. Maybe they need to speed up their service and stop mucking around with changing forks, moving glasses about and otherwise chasing their tails. So they lost 4 deserts and another $180 bottle of wine from us. Won't be back until this times seating stupidity is gone.
Be the first to ReplyJust an awful experience.
Prepaid for Valentines dinner (should have known) and left before eating. The venue is set up for chaos and speed. If you're looking for a nice dinner out, look elsewhere.

A Sydney classic! You really do pay for the view and the name. The food is good- very small servings for what you're paying if you aren't ordering appetizers and starters, which I would absolutely recommend. Service was great, booking and communication also great

Never disappoints!! View is amazing and the food service and ambiance even better!!! We visit Sydney often from NY and Cafe Sydney is always on the trip agenda!
Be the first to ReplyCOCKROACHES.
I have to start with that because we saw no less than 5 while we were there which was less than an hour. And those were just the ones we saw. This was among the worst dining experiences I've ever had from start to finish. When we arrived, the host berated my wife for not checking her email (while on vacation - which they knew) so we hadnt confirmed the reservation. They made her confirm her email address after we were already at the restaurant.. Super weird but whatever. When we sat down, there was an identical table next to ours that was empty and we asked to switch but were told that table was taken. About 10 minutes later, a kid and his date sat down there and after ordering drinks, the kid bragged about getting away with ordering alcohol underage - so I guess you can feel comfortable coming here if you're 17! We ordered bread to start and were getting concerned that it wasn't coming. After they dropped off the food, we saw the bread was coming but we no longer wanted it because the main course was there. The server said he was confused because he thought we wanted the bread WITH dinner. What kind of restaurant serves bread with dinner? It's ok to mess up but that was such a ridiculous lie that my intelligence was insulted. Don't try to gaslight me to cover up your mistake. Thankfully, they comped the bread that we didn't eat (by the way, this is the first place we've been in Australia that charged for bread). The waiter convinced me to try the wagyu special. Yes, the term wagyu is overused, but this could not have been further from wagyu. Normally, imitation wagyu is still pretty good but this was actually disgusting. I took two bites and couldn't stomach any further. A hamburger has higher quality beef than this sirloin. The other reason I couldn't stomach it was the cockroaches. We were on a 5th floor patio and they were all. Over. The walls. Look, I get it. We're outside and bugs exist. But cockroaches that are multiple inches long cannot be tolerated and when they keep coming from the same place and you have to be asked multiple times to get rid of them, maybe you should investigate where they're coming from and try to get rid of them instead of just getting rid of the one?? But that's too much to ask of this service staff. Just the worst dining experience I can ever remember having, from the food to the service (and the consistently poor service from everyone we interacted with) to the ambiance. Go to McDonald's downstairs and you'll not only have a cleaner eating experience but it'll taste better and cost 10% of the price.

It's been a while since we've dined at Cafe Sydney and we were pleasantly surprised. I always thought CS was a tourist spot but it's proven to be a legitimate, quality dining. destination. Looking forward to our next visit.

The experience at Cafe Sydney is always good, which explains why we keep coming back. Our favourite restaurant in Sydney, by a long margin.

Your staff were on point the entire time we were there from the moment we walked in and through to our departure.Elaine was our waiter and she explained everything in detail, when I asked something about a few of the dishes she explained she would clarify with Alex or Nik (I think) as it was here first week and only second shift out front.I commended her for this being honest and up front without just faking it till you make it means you will go along way.I was very impressed.Later we meet Tae and he is a great mentor for Elaine as I questioned him and he has been around for 4 years.Now onto your wine connoisseur Nathan I believe from Sam Fran, what a lovely gentleman and Simone how knows his wine.Our food was amazing the view excellent and service wonderful. The be there to celebrate our wedding anniversary is something we will remember.Thank you
Be the first to ReplySuperb experience and in my opinion, still one of the top
Superb experience and in my opinion, still one of the top places in Sydney for a complete 'Sydney experience dinner' - particularly if you can get a table on the terrace. The quality of food is impeccable, the service completely on point (you barely know they are there) and yes, the location, and watching Sydney say goodbye to the day and good evening to the night - can't beat it!! Leave the car at home, ferry in if at all possible, and simply enjoy the best that Sydney has to offer.
Be the first to ReplyThe quality of the food and service was exceptional.
We have had a wonderful evening with our friends. I would like to thank the host who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The food was just right and delicious.

Aside from being a little too busy, this was an amazing place. Great if not incredible views and the food was just amazing and great wine list. Good experience all around. Sit outside if the weather permits.

Had my mum's 83rd birthday lunch with 20 people outside on a hot Saturday afternoon 8th Jan. For a large group I was pleasantly surprised to find a menu with 4 choices each for entree, main and dessert. The food was delicious, the service was excellent! They brought fans for each guest to use & promptly refilled our water to keep us hydrated. The whole experience was great from start to finish. Shoutout to Nicole who was our main server. She was friendly, attentive & a joy to chat with throughout the event. Well done!
Be the first to ReplyCame here recently for a friends birthday and am already
Came here recently for a friends birthday and am already making plans to return. From the moment I walked in I was greeted and taken to the table by a lovely staff member. The service at this place is like nothing I have ever experienced before, The staff were constantly making sure our glasses were not empty and that everything was to our liking. The food was out of this world!!! I had the Ricotta Gnocchi With Jerusalem Artichoke, Mushroom, Pea, Burnt Sage Butter and Pecorino, I am a Gnocchi lover and this was easily the best Gnocchi dish I have ever had! so tasty and cooked beautifully. For dessert I had the Salted Caramel Hazelnut, Dulce De Leche Slice, Churros, Chocolate Ice Cream which was divine!!! the Hazelnut slice was so rich and decadent and the Churros was beautiful!! I will never be able to eat San Churros again after eating the Churros here they are that good. We were lucky to be given a table on the balcony overlooking the Harbour Bridge and as there is no air conditioner outside they gave each us our own little fold up fan which we were then able to take home with us which I thought was lovely. I cannot recommend this place enough

Attitude! Slow service for bread and cold bugs, must have been half an hour. Prices over the top. 1 Bread roll $4.50! Wine pours chintzy. Steak was good.

I only go to Australia once and this company doesn't fail to disappoint... recommend not wasting your time here. Reservations can be overbooked if someone booked the seat longer back.
Be the first to ReplyOur second time dining at Cafe Sydney, first time for
Our second time dining at Cafe Sydney, first time for brunch, this time for dinner. The view here is absolutely gorgeous; a perfect view of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Cocktails are photogenic, but could still leave you a bit wanting. Food is phenomenal. Every dish ordered was to our expectations. The Moreton Bay Oysters were briny, just how we like them. The octopus was crispy, but more impressively, tender on the inside. The garlic naan was delicious, something that exceeded our expectations from an Australian restaurant. The lamb rack for two was delicious, perfect medium rare and the verde sauce cut through the fat very nicely. Last was the gnocchi; not your typically gnocchi. They used ricotta cheese and the final product is much larger, but lighter then what you normally see. All in all, we had an amazing sunset dinner. Part of the restaurant is open air so we had a cool breeze that was perfect for that day. Definitely a destination restaurant!
Be the first to ReplyAnother restaurant with another amazing view of the Sydney
Another restaurant with another amazing view of the Sydney Harbor Bridge - located on top of a library in the Customs building, it's pretty easy to miss cause it's not marked very well from the outside. You literally have to rely on a sign right in front of the Customs building to know it's up there! You walk through the Customs building and library, and take the elevators up to the top! You are greeted with vibrant lights, a dimly lit atmosphere, and a high energy environment. Modern decor and a great ambiance, though it might be a little to loud for conversation. We were initially seated outside with our reservations, and on a good day, this would have been all dandy cause you get such an amazing view from out there BUT we got hit with high winds and the smoke from the fires in NSW, which made the experience cold and miserable - even with the heat lamps (that looked wobbly and unsafe in the wind), and the blankets provided to each guest. We requested a table inside and were so so lucky the restaurant was able to accommodate cause it made the experience so much better. Both our servers were fantastic, even the one in training. *Crab and Cauliflower Leek Soup with Seafood - the soup was surprisingly delicious for a cauliflower and leek. I liked how creamy it was and the crunch of the small chunks of cauliflower left on the bottom. The seafood definitely added to the taste - we got the squid but failed to find any crab. Maybe it's just crab stock? But good none-the-less, especially after being cold outside! 4/5*Salmon Belly - This was like a tartare with salmon belly and roe. It was refreshing and good. No complaints. 4/5*Grilled Octopus - Exactly as it sounds. No frills, delicious flavors. 4/5*Pumpkin Ricotta Gnocchi - ok, so after having gnocchi in Hamilton Island, then the huge gnocchi here.. we were starting to wonder if gnocchi in Australia is just all super large! This one was doughy but filled with ricotta, which added another element to the pasta. Though I didn't get the 'bite' that I like in a gnocchi. I liked the flavors of the pumpkin but the friends weren't a fan of the dish. 4/5*We had the local fish, the Barramundi - this was probably the favorite of the night. The flavors of all the elements went well together, the fish was white and flakey and cooked well. Our first time trying the Barramundi and we all liked it! 5/5*Honey Chiboust - the dessert was really light. It was just ok 3/5*Chocolate Ice Cream, Fried Banana and Peanut Butter Tart dessert - forgot the name but if you like chocolate and peanut butter, this one has all the elements. Crunchy, Cold, Fried Banana and a Chewy Tart. Delicious dessert! Get it! 5/5Overall, a nice atmosphere for a night out on the town.. high energy and fantastic views and good food. We liked it!
Be the first to ReplyI would give zero stars if could.
Tried to come here with my bf, but they wouldn't seat us guess they don't like Americans. Lol.
Be the first to ReplyWe really enjoyed our experience at Café Sydney.
The view of the harbour is amazing, and I would recommend going on a sunny day to enjoy the view of the bridge and the water. The staff here are lovely too - there are people who greet you at the door, show you to your table and take your orders promptly, giving good recommendations as well. I really enjoyed the atmosphere inside also. Can be a bit busy, but that's just because it's such a good restaurant! The dishes were also delicious and presented beautifully. The only downfall is that it is a little bit expensive, but is great for an occasion! Would recommend the confit duck leg, the king salmon and the dessert platter.
