Comments of Planar Restaurant
D. C.
Good value for money Restaurant on the water. It was a warm day and the breeze was lovely. The seafood linguine was really nice and perfectly cooked but unfortunately the lobster linguine was only average (overcooked). Fish and chips was good. Looks like it would be a nice venue to have a drinks and cocktails.
i. r.
Came here for as a treat for my birthday, the waitress we had was super nice and she walked us through the menu since it was our first here. Ordered the kangaroo and lobster, they were absolutely delicious and the meat were oh so tender! Dessert (pistachio dome) was pretty nice but might have been a bit too sweet for my taste.
Overall the food and service were on point 👌
Would definitely recommend.
A. S.
Was bought here on a first date and the staff and atmosphere was incredible. So polite and humble. We really enjoyed their lovely personalities and the vibe throughout. Definitely a must to come down and visit this place. Food is incredible and pricing is good too, hard to find great Italian food these days but Planar is definitely one of them!
o. h.
Such a fantastic evening we had. The food is great and the menu is perfect for everyone and well balanced, nice collection of drinks and cocktails.
Nice and calm atmosphere, definitely coming back 👌
S. A.
We had a very great time at this place. I highly recommend Planar restaurant to anyone visiting Sydney.
What a tasteful salad and very friendly staff.
A. R.
Loves the atmosphere here, and the people. They are a friendly bunch and food is great. They are quite busy to worth booking prior to your visits. The Pizza is really good and the staff knows what they are doing when they give you recommendations. Also if you request they do write happy birthday on the dessert plates. So will definitely suit a celebration.
P. H.
After walking around the Chinese gardens we had lunch here. Entres were great and large enough to have as a main meal. Service exceptional. Our waiter had a very impressive memory (there were 6 of us) and he was spot on
a. m.
Customer service was phenomenal. Even though we had to wait to place our food order (due to how busy the kitchen was) we were promptly informed by staff and attended to.
Sometimes hard to hear inside when it's busy - but is a great atmosphere.
If you're a dog lover, I recommend sitting outside because this place is dog friendly 🐕
The food was delicious - but worth the wait!
And they serve marshmallows with their hot chocolates 😄
J. J.
Had a really fun work event here making pizza and eating our creations afterwards! Lovely service too.

M. J.
Good food, reasonable service, great view (ask for an outside table), reasonably priced. Beverage list had a fair few 'out of stock' beers and wines. Be aware they will not split the bill (a problem for a work Christmes lunch). Would recommend as they have a menu for all tastes.
S. W.
Great ambience and customer service. We ordered the lobster pizza and surprisingly they put half a lobster on top of the already lobster filled pizza! Very good value for money.
The let down was the bread.. They just chucked slices of wholemeal bread when it's supposed to be sourdough.
G. S.
Good to be back Sydney!!! First night out, service was great! Pizza was delish! Got a 0.5m. If you super hungry; perfect choice! But just for two the regular pizza would be perfect. Especially if you out on a date 😊 don’t want to be too bloated with dough.
R. L.
Great location with some solid Mediterranean options. Pizzas were great :)
A. B.
Clean and comfortable
Quick friendly service
Food tasted great
Would come here again
e. K.
I came from Melbs and this place was a nice experience.
I tried the chicken salad😋
Great customer service.
R. Y.
Great atmosphere if not too windy. Food came out quickly.
Tasty duck ravioli.
Good pizza.
Difficult to get staff's attention, getting water was a challenge.
Many of the dessert options were not offered, but they didn't say upfront.
Music too loud inside. Did not turn it down (or turned it down a negligible amount) despite agreement, twice!
T. B.
I don’t really have anything bad to say about this place, great experience great food excellent staff, cocktails were made perfectly and all the meat that was ordered was cooked to perfection!
Definitely recommend whether you have a family or taking the missus out for a nice dinner!
Absolutely amazing spot guys!👍
S. A.
Best location for afternoon drinks. The garden seating was amazing. We ordered a few drinks and the platter and they were good. However the stuffed peppers were not as good. Overall great experience and will go there again.
M. R.
Our cheat day on Sunday was brilliant, excellent service, fantastic location and food to die for! :) tasty entrees, beautiful lobster pasta and delicious pizza we did not expect will be that great quality. Well done Planar guys:)
Absolutely enjoyed and will be back for 1 metre pizza soon :) martini :)
N. W.
Came to try this restaurant for the first time tonight. Ordered a seafood pizza and a mixed fruit drink. Welcome staff was helpful and most part of the pizza was pretty tasty.
However, the reason not giving five star rating due to the following:
1. A large portion on the base of the pizza was badly burned, bitter taste.
2. No visible table number display. When I asked for the bill before payment, the waiter just told me to pay at the bar directly. After I'm about to make payment at the bar, the staff there asked me which table I was sitting, very hard to describe without a table number (for it was far away from where we standing) or an itemized bill as he then continue to read out a bunch of dishes that I didn't order. I had to correct and repeat "One seafood pizza and one mixed fruit drink..." several time. Finally he got it right, but I think this drama would've been avoided altogether if simply - A. have a table number clearly displayed on each table or B. Just print a bill for the orders made by the table before paying at the bar.
K. S.
Shout out to Bridgitte for being our friendly server today. Super impressed with the meticulous attention to detail as well as the care given towards our dietary/health preference even no prompting our part. Wonderful ambience and delicious food. Can not go wrong with to this venue.
k.
Amazing food, friendly service and a really nice atmosphere.
This little gem is hidden away at the northern end of the Sydney International Convention Centre. With its heated outdoor dining and casual seating, this cosy restaurant has plenty to offer. The service was fast and friendly, the menu had a selection of modern Australian with international favourites.
I ordered the seafood platter and was absolutely delighted at the freshness of the grilled barramundi, lobster, prawns and mussels. The salt and pepper calamari was also delicious as is the battered dish.
Service was friendly and down to earth. I will definitely go back!
S. K.
Great location, nice cozy ambiance and great variety of drinks and food!
P. L.
Went here for dinner and ordered the beef ribs and prawn Caesar salad (also ordered broccolini but they were out). Food was ok - neither good nor bad. The chips and the chilli red wine sauce with the beef ribs were tasty however the beef ribs were quite dry and over cooked (also 1 rib so technically not beef ribs). Ribs and chips were on the small side. The salad was better and quite a generous amount of prawns - the prawns also tasted like they were cooked fresh prawns rather than frozen which was a bonus! Prawns weren’t seasoned or grilled so we’re a bit simple tasting. Salad greens were fresh but could have done with more. Probably wouldn’t come back unless for drinks.
T. M.
Went for a casual dinner to try out the new location.
It wasn't busy, but I wouldn't recommend opting for the lounge seats. Looks comfortable but not as practical if you are trying to eat.
I ordered the pasta which was very nice, but as usual with parcelled pasta, you don't get much.
Ideal if you are looking for Sunday afternoon drink turning into a dinner.
S. S. M.
Had dinner on friday to celebrate my friend's birthday. Amazing juicy and tender steaks, amazing attentive service, the service, the wine list very well rounded and a really great overall first time experience to this restaurant. Dessert was perfectly proportioned so we weren't stuffed and the manager Aret who wrote a very special happy birthday on my friend's plate. Will definitely be back...
R. G.
We did a cocktail class for our year-end function. Everyone really enjoyed the experience. The food is good, and the service is excellent.
T. H.
Nice food and coffee. Their pizzas are especially good. There are couple of big ovens around the middle of restaurant where they 'stone bake' the pizzas, which comes out beautiful chewy with puffy crust.
Their furniture is mostly soft, big and comfy. Some of the sofas looked awfully dirty with wine stains. More than half of their dining area is outdoor. Great place to have a lazy weekend brunch/lunch, on a nice sunny day.
Service was always with smiles but not particularly attentive and have felt a little bit slow, as the place filled up.
E. V. D. H.
Came here for a drink and to relax after a whole day walking and had a great time to relax here and to recover a bit. They have live music which increases the ambiance. We did not eat here are for vegetarians there are limited options here. Mainly pizza s but we did not want to eat another pizza and instead went for indian food elsewhere.
C. S.
The atmosphere was good but the food and service weren't great. The food feels overpriced and our drinks never arrived. Unfortunately the starters were the only good thing we had throughout the dinner.
I. S.
Service was good. The waitress was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived this morning at 8:30am. She was also very helpful by getting us a high chair for our 15 month old. The food presentation was great too, however the coffee was not nice, it was weak. The French toast brioche was stale! And they charge a ‘Sunday Surcharge’, so be mindful of this. For 2 adults the Sunday surcharge was $3.98. The London breakfast was okay - just like any other big breakfast plate. The baked beans were from a can and the chorizo was quite oily. The good thing is I was able to change the ‘fried eggs’ to scramble.
I’ve had their lunch special during the weekdays here - the pizza and that was good. But I wouldn’t come back for breakfast again unless they improve their barista; as coffee is an essential part of any breakfast! and kill their Sunday Surcharge.
—updated post
Came back here again for 2 x lunches over the last month; one with my partner and toddler and the other time with work. Lunch is great! Waitresses at both occasions were friendly despite one of the occasions we went was during the Boar Show, so it was super busy. Both times I had the burger $18.00 Lunch Express meal and it was delicious!!!
I have changed my google star review from 3 starts to 5 out of 5 on the basis of my lunch experience with Planar Restaurant! Great view too of the Harbour!
G. M.
Lovely Harbourside restaurant just under the ICC. Considering its prime location, Planar is the perfect place for a weekend brunch, after work drinks or even just a quick bite to eat before a conference. You can get some pretty spectacular front-row views of the water and city lights (and Saturday night fireworks if you timed it well) at their alfresco outdoor dining terrace area.
The ink cocktail 🍸 is a fun colour-changing designer drink to have and we liked the sautéed cauliflowers. The stone-baked pizza is perfect for sharing 🍕 Service is friendly and attentive. Oh - the chocolate dome dessert is a must try too!
R. J.
Went there for office christmas party. Had to wait for a good 10 minutes to show us to our reserved table. The waiting staff named Asish was so good and very helpful. Starters were Prawn lollipops, Cauliflower and wagyu sliders. It was amazing. Had Pan fried Salmon for main. The Salmon itself was good but the potato mash was not my favorite. The deserts were okay. Happy with the experience from the lovely staff.
S. S. M.
If u love pizza this is the place to dine. I'm not a pizza eater (all we could find before the movie at como) but good to see there were some choices on the menu and they were delicious. Big wine selections but were vert good selections.
Service was excellent.
J. W.
Beautiful restaurant with waterfront view. They fulfilled my request for a bespoke order of their Duck Ravioli with Four Cheese Sauce which was such a luxurious treat! Their Vegan Fettuccine which comes in a Chimichurri Sauce was so delightful on the palette that it left all of us pretty stunned and pining for more. Awesome place to hang out and enjoy great conversation over good food!
R. H.
One of the best seafood plater I ever had.
Price is $120, but worth it.
Lots of calamari and flavour was amazing.
Fish and chips served generously, yogurt sauce was light and battered sauce was spot on!.
Grilled barramundi was delicious too.
S. B.
Held a cocktail making class here the other night and it was amazing!!
The cocktails we made were so good and Jose our instructor was lovely, helpful and patient with our minimal skills.
Food was also delicious, I had the pappardelle ragu…soooo good.🤩
Will definitely be back!
G.
Visited for the first time: lunchtime, mid-week. Not crowded, no booking required. We ate outside in a nice covered area with views of the harbour. Table service was efficient and polite. Food was very good - perhaps the stand-out dish was my wife's Planar Mezze Platter: excellent value for money. My Pappardelle Ragu was very good, but perhaps not as spectacular as the Mezze. Surprisingly they had run out of all Chardonnays, so I settled for a Riesling. My wife enjoyed her house shiraz - very quaffable.
We intend to visit again shortly, probably for their daily 'Happy Hour' (1500~1800) with $5.00 beer, spirits and wine, $10.00 cocktails and share plates at various prices.
No surcharge for use of credit card.
P. L.
Situated directly under the Sydney International Convention Centre, this modern restaurant offers a cool outdoor seating area and amazing views of Darling Harbour. We visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and ordered the oysters, truffle prusciutto pizza and seafood platter for 2. Each dish was delicious, with our personal favourite being the seafood platter, which was beautifully presented on a wooden board. On weekends you may also be lucky enough to catch the nearby street performances or 9pm Saturday night fireworks.
With plenty of breakfast, lunch and dinner options on Planar's very impressive menu, we cannot wait to be back for more!
D. M.
Excellent lunch spot next to Darling Harbour. It has a great atmosphere and the service is very good. Had the Prawn Lollipops and Squid, would definitely recommend the prawns. Price is a bit high but not unexpected given the setting and location. Would revisit anytime.
s. v.
Mediocre food very small food servings for the price, over priced drink, bad customer service took 40 minutes to come to the table. Food came cold, doesn’t come with advertised ingredients, pappardelle pasta came with two peas, duck ravioli had ridiculous servings.
M. N.
If you plan on going to Planar here is what to expect.
The scenery and decor is 10/10. If you want somewhere to take nice photos and socialise this is the place.
If for some reason the waitstaff are busy and can’t offer their service. You can download Me&U which allows you to order through an app. Which is innovative as it allows you to bypass the wait time.
The waitstaff wreak of professionalism. They cater to your needs and always check up on you. Wandering around double checking your meal and beverages are satisfying. Planar succeeds in making you feel important and noticed.
IF your main reason for coming here is the food... it’s mediocre. Planar is for the socialising and drinking. The food never has a lot of produce and is over rated. Although this may be true I HUGHLY recommend it for how satisfying the view and vibes are.
H. B.
We ordered Planar Pizza, Tumeric Cauliflower Salad, Chips and Calamari the food was delicious 😋 with Gin & Tonic Special and Apple Cider, We went using #TheForkAu Discount so it only cost us 87. 20$ which for the amount of food we thought it was well worth it. The staff are super helpful and cheerful and we went on Thursday, they had a live singer which I enjoyed who doesn't like bit of Soft Rock or bit Bon Jovi while your chilling n eating. This was our first time and would definitely come again even without the discount. Next time your near darling harbour or city head over it's really nice bar restaurant
A. I. R. d. A.
Me and my girlfriends had a great time here. Good place to hangout, good foods and the drinks were amazing and also Aret was a great great guy who looked after us. We will definitely come back 😊
S. H.
Had an awesome time. Very friendly, food was delicious, staff were just like ur friends. Good priced drinks n beautiful cocktails.
Luv the location n very comfortable.
Luv to back again n again .
Just going to c Aret 🥰
S. R.
The food was fantastic atmosphere is awesome and staff are wonderful and friendly
L. K.
Eaten there at many occasions, never failed to deliver, fresh food and friendly staff. Best place to eat if you were to be at the exhibition Center.
N. Y.
Lovely, friendly service and yummy food. The ambience was wonderful and the Saturday night fireworks from the table were spectacular. This is a great spot for groups or families or friends to relax and enjoy.
A. T.
Worth a try. The location and atmosphere are almost unbeatable, however that seems to be what you pay most of the money for. While the food itself was tasty, without a doubt, for the price you pay you could find some better options in the city. This is probably coming out more harsh than expected. It was actually a really nice night with some good food. If you haven’t been here, try it and see for yourself.
S.
Small servings but well cooked. The Margarita was disappointing as it tasted like fridge lemon juice rather than fresh lemon Juice.
In short it was an adequate lunch.
S. L.
Ribs are a must get 🍖💯! We got the platter with both pork and beef. If you only have capacity for one, pork is more recommended. The steak and burger are nice as well.
s. s.
It was nice and I went with my Dad he had a Ribeye Steak & vegetables and he loved it and wants to go back.
T. P.
The place is pretty/modern.
The food was good overall, good quality and quantity, price was ok.
However, we have been charged another table, and the customer service post claim was laborious but with a positive outcome.
D. N.
Great location, perfect for dining outside and having a nice view of the harbour. We were a large party, but the staff would only ask one side if they wanted drinks, not the other staff, had to do a lot to get staff attention for more drinks. Everyone got their food apart from one person, who got their meal when everyone finished, it was disorganised. The food tasted amazing, I really enjoyed my kimchi wagyu fried rice, it was very flavourful and a big serving. Food was great, location was great, staff need to lift their game.
P. C.
Amazing cocktails! Arrived just before happy hour finished and took advantage of their $10 cocktails. The service was so lovely that we came back for dinner. We were surprised by how large the portions were, and all of our meals were very tasty. Only complaint is that our pizza came out about 10 minutes after everyone else got their food. Would definitely go back though.
p. w.
Nice place for drinks and incredible food awesome vibe with friendly and attentive staff.
Great music.
D. B.
Bottomless Brunch was good value for drinks but they kept getting our orders wrong and often took a long time to come back.
Sadly not much food - each ‘dish’ was more so just light nibbles so we were all left hungry.
C. W.
Awesome food! Great drinks! And friendly staff, plus lovely views of the harbour!
S. G.
Awesome food. Loved their Seasfood & Fish & Chips. Enjoyed Valentines at Planar with my family
S. M.
I had the French toast for breakfast, huge portion and delicious. Really tasty. My friend had the scrambled eggs with bacon, she loved it as well. The latte was amazing. We had the food 10 minutes after we ordered, and it was around 7am.
S. V.
Great location, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. They have a separated vegan menu, including salad, pizza, pasta and burger. We tried the vegan burger and the vegan pasta, both were delicious.
S. T.
Worst service ever by the most unprofessional person at the front entrance but the manager is good / great host and the food isn’t bad either.
C. H.
Look the food here is really great and the coffee is amazing according to my wife (I don't drink coffee) but the service was definitely lacking, waited almost an hour for our breakfast to come out and then had to remind them that I was still waiting on a juice that was ordered with the coffee when we first arrived, now I'm still giving it 4 stars because I can understand that it is very hard to get staff at the moment and the food was really good, hopefully you can get some more staff soon.
J. H.
Great location. Quick service. Nice coffee. Had the Daisy Flower breaky, which looks nice but isn’t as filling as I had hoped it would be (and sauce a bit soupy, runny).
R. J.
Great little spot to catch up with friends for a bite and a drink.... Not so busy as the rest of harbour side... So you can enjoy a drink and the company your with.
V. K.
Ambience was good. Less vegetarian options. Had ordered veg pizza and veg Risotto. Didn't like the taste much but the staff were cordial enough to look after our needs to improve its taste..
Maybe something else in the menu would be worth its taste and price..
E. V. M.
Excellent brunch place with its unique menu, great service, and cool decor. The place was pretty busy for a Tuesday around 10:30am but we were seated right away for a table of 3.
The menu was pretty explosive with items like cured kangaroo which immediately catch your eye. We opted for the pizza and the barramundi which were perfect. I must warn you that the servings are very large and we could have easily shared our meals.
S. C. '.
We love this place! Best staff! Super friendly and amazing drinks!
K. H.
What a great spot. Great view, we had a chicken quinoa salad and chicken peri peri pizza. Prompt service, and the food was very tasty. Attentive service, great views and very quiet on a Monday night. Thanks!
A. F. C.
This restaurant obtains a modern yet comforting setting. The food was quite comfortable yet gave a burst of flavour with some dishes. I would definitely recommend Planar for a catchup in the city, accompanied by nice food.
S. K.
Had dinner on Thursday evening to celebrate my partners birthday. We were seated by the window and the lighting complimented the experience. The steak was exquisite and the wine list very well rounded. We had the squid as an entree and it was the perfect size to share without spoiling our 300g rib eyes. Dessert was perfectly proportioned so we weren’t stuffed and the chef wrote happy birthday on my partners plate. Which although often done, felt very special. Paige looked after us and was an absolute delight with an apt knowledge of all the products on both the wine list and the food menu. Will definitely be back in the near future!
R. B.
Fantastic location! The food was good. The staff were amazing, attentive without being intrusive. Will be going back.
a. t.
Gave them 5 stars last time I was here & I wasn’t disappointed once again. Simply for been open after 5pm they deserve 5stars, thanks guys!
With so many good restaurant coffee shops in Sydney, best coffee and breakfast in town comes down to taste but this would sit amongst the best. This place can get busy & it’s understandable why. Deep roasted coffee so it speaks to the stronger palate, I enjoyed a tall macchiato & the Mrs. had a flat white. Great pastries but I would recommend the ham & cheese croissant. Will definitely be back.
c. k.
Loved the atmosphere here, and the people. They are a friendly bunch and food is great. They are quite busy to worth booking prior to your visits. The pizza is really good and the staff knows what they are doing when they give you recommendations. Also if you request they do write happy birthday on the desert plates. So will definitely suit a celebration.
C.
First time I visit this place, food is amazing and flavoursome! Very friendly staff and great service from the manager too.
l. d.
Nice food. Great view. Very touristy area but still quiet. Pizza was thin crust like I like them!
s. k.
A great restaurant with very high quality food, meat and dishes. The restaurant itself felt like a gentleman’s club, dark and mysterious but sophisticated.
We ordered the rib eye steak and it was delicious. We split it between us since it was so big, but having some sides with it was excellent.
Service was good and we would definitely come back here again!
T. H.
I can recommend this restaurant. The food is very tasty and you don't have to wait long.
I really like the location and the view. The restaurant is also minutes from Hyde Park.
The staff is very nice and friendly.
I like to return to the restaurant I think you will fall in love with this place as much as I do.
Thank you PLANAR for very good job :) with love Tereza from Czech
L. E.
The restaurant is in a beautiful location on the harbour and has a beautiful atmosphere. The live music was a wonderful bonus as well!
The food was very yummy. However, we ordered a starter to our table that never arrived and ended up finding out it was delivered to the table near us. On two of our burgers, we asked for no pickles, which they noted down as the food was ordered, but when the burgers arrived, they both still had pickles in them.
Another issue we had was that we ordered a drink from the wait staff at the beginning of our meal, and then went to the bar of the restaurant to order the same drink and it was more expensive! (This wasn’t due to happy hour times)
Customer service was very average - hard to flag down wait staff.
Overall, an okay restaurant that has great potential and nice food but is let down by the lack of communication between its staff members.
J. M.
Good food, very average service. I think they know that already, it was very busy when I attended having driven up from Bowral for the boat show.
p. j.
This place is amazing!!! Busy cafe and in my opinion the best, their coffee has always been excellent but more importantly, they go out of their way to be helpful and extremely friendly at all times and specially when they are busy. One thing that I got fascinated by this place, Jose the barista is always so friendly and pleasant to talk with, he always remembers my name & coffee even after 8 months of lockdowns. Visiting my favourite Darling harbour restaurant again has been the best of 2020!! Keep making great coffee and people happy!
K. R.
This is a great place, I love it great service, easy to talk to fast paced, didn’t have to wait long, Paige was our great waitress thankyou :)).
J. C.
The food and drinks were lovely - 4/5 stars there.
I had the kangaroo which was very tender for that type of meat. The rest of my table had fish and chips and margherita pizza.
The chips were hot and crunchy and the salad beautiful and fresh with a light dressing. The woodfired pizza was tasty. The fish batter was light and crisp and the fish not dry.
The garlic bread slices were unfortunately slightly over cooked and too crunchy to be enjoyable.
The wait staff were attentive but the wait service was not perfect.
I am sad that they misheard my instructions to bring the garlic bread out as the entree. They brought the garlic bread with the pizza as an entree, which meant we were waiting on the rest of our orders.
Our side plates were brought out after we'd already received our entree.
The table water was not cold but slightly lukewarm - I believe the stainless steel jugs had come out of the washer recently.
It is a shame as I have eaten here on more than 3 occasions in s row where the service was lacking. Before this they seemed to have better staff and the service felt high end.
At least the food was good.
B. M.
Delicious food, fast service and very understanding staff. Megan looked after us and was fantastic with making our meal and time at the restaurant enjoyable and easy. My friend who has celiacs said she had the best gluten free pizza here that she's ever tasted. Will be coming again!
S. 8.
Love everything about this lovely place especially Aret the manager OMG he is very entertaining and super fun also good looking. highly recommended xx
C. L.
Amazing service. Aret had amazing service and a great personality definitely recommend for lunch or dinner.
J. L.
Go for the food... try the lobster pizza like I did (28A$) and you won’t be disappointed (see picture). Pick up the magazine where which has an ad that together with your hotel room key provides you with a 25% discount ! Not the most cozy spot - but they have great heaters for your evening dinner...
A. F.
The food was really nice and they were accommodating with the menu with both food and drinks.
P. D.
My boyfriend and I came for Valentine’s Day and can I just say I’ve worked in hospitality for a few years and it was great the waitresses were lovely, bubbly and gave advise for drinks and food choices. Yes it was busy but what can you expect on Valentine’s Day at a place with absolutely amazing food!! But in saying that everything was timed perfectly we had a enough time to chat and look at the menu without being rushed. For anyone looking at coming I 100% recommend the planar catch pizza :)

We had a Red Balloon voucher & decided on Planar restaurant at Darling Harbour .It was a set menu which started with trio of dips & then calamari & we chose crispy skin barramundi & beef ragu followed by the most delicious desert which looked like a green apple & had choc mousse inside. All the food was great , tasty & well presented.
The manager Atec ( hope I spelt your name correctly!!) was very attentive & so were the other staff .
Looking around at the other diners who were ordering a la carte , the food looked really great as well.
We will definitely return to Planar .

Came in with some friends for happy hour. Good range of drinks for great prices. Wait staff were super friendly looking after us to a great standard and the two bar tenders super friendly and knowledgeable recommending a great scotch from their wide selection to finish our visit. Will be back for sure.
A. J.
Great drinks, bartenders hooked it up! Would love to come back with my mates 100💯
D. S.
Service very slow in the morning.
Breakfast menu good variety for different dietary.
Served overcooked poached eggs.
Menu said crispy prosciutto but served just plain sliced. Bun for egg bacon, burned but still served regardless.
G. S.
Great place for lunches - excellent range and prices. Service is great. The outlook of this place is great - lots of access to natural light and open-air dining. Chairs are comfy. I have also been to this place for their happy hour which has food value cocktails and pizzas. Friday’s are made easy with Planar! Highly recommend.
A. B.
Very good variety of dishes and drinks. Great pizza, nachos and chips so delicious!!
The Colombian waiter was very friendly, attentive and professional all the time.
As a costumer, I understand that Friday nights are so busy but the manager looks liked so stressful and it was very notorious to the costumers who visited the venue. As a recommendation, it is good to do something to reduce a little bit the estress levels to create a good atmosphere for visitors.
C.
What a great place and beautifully service, the staff so friendly, and the manager she is so nice and helpful l, really happy to get back next time , super recommend
J. L.
A great venue for our team Christmas dinner. Covid-safe with spaces left between tables. Service was prompt without being overly speedy, and water bottles were regularly refilled. My ravioli was delicious and prices very reasonable. It is a little out of the way, but I liked the quieter location. Definitely recommend.
V. T.
Staff were very friendly. Great locations The food was ok
J. G.
Excellent service and amazing drinks, everything you could ask for a night out with friends!
T. G.
Fantastic service and Coffee. Thank you Gary! Did I mention the views?
J. M.
Great service. Good food, well priced and wonderful ambience.
A. P.
In all honesty, been to a lot of restaurants in Sydney , but this is a restaurant I would not return to unless I absolutely had to. The location is great , the interior is beautiful , chairs were comfy. The food was subpar , the service just didn't match the interior and was inconsistent . Could do better.
I.
Lovely staffs and great drinks at great prices. Great view.
H. O.
Good breakfast options, the Blue Magic Smoothie Bowl was nice though would like more toasted muesli to make it more wholesome and filling. Nice area to have breakfast first thing in the morning.
F. S.
Went here with some friends on Friday evening, which was the busy evening. The restaurant was so nice. They have variety of dishes both for share with friends and the mains as well. The staff managed to do a good job of serving us at their busiest time. Definitely will be back here again! Cheers!
M. S.
As someone with MULTIPLE allergies, the staff at Planar (especially Justin- INCREDIBLE!!) were absolutely amazing! Justin went through the whole menu with me & helped me pick an amazing dish that was flavourful, a decent size & cooked to perfection. THANK YOU!!
K. S.
Thank you Sijan for your nice service.
Loved the restaurant and food and off course drinks
N. V.
Nicely set out place, good outdoor area thats still protected from the wind. The food was quite nice here, my kangaroo steak was cooked almost perfectly medium rare (a bit on the rare side). The menu good use a bit more range and the service was a bit slow
C. B.
I love this bar! Such a good vibe and amazing food 💕
A. B.
Awsome service...really good pricing n yummy
J.
Their happy hour menu gave us some solid cocktails, wines and shared plates to overcome hump day! Booked online for a table of three. Experience was seamless. Staff were accommodating and friendly.
P. B.
Good location for a night out or in our case happy hour pre dinner drinks and snacks.
The Margherita pizza was excellent W really good base but we had to b very insistent that basil is not an option on a Margherita. That all it would b then is a Neapolitan. Grudgingly they gave us a few leaves despite they were an "optional extra".
Beer and wine were good and cheap. Watching the hens parties entertaining and the cocktails colourful though we didn't try them. Darling Harbour is pretty in the afternoon. Recommend just insist U get what they advertise.
I.
Stopped in for a coffee while waiting for someone. Happy with the friendly service and good coffee. A very comfortable atmosphere. Thanks!
S. F.
fantastic place! great service! would 100% recommend
E. C.
What a spot to have dinner, we had such a lovely night and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely get the mojito when you go, delicious!! Tucked out of the way so you get the view without the interrupting crowds, couldn’t recommend more!!! :))
A. W.
Very tasty food, definitely try the arancini balls! Great location, impressive staff and views. Fast and friendly service and well staffed venue. Prices a little high for what was provided, but considering the location it makes sense. Recommended. Will return.
O. T.
Sijan(bar ) ‘ s hospitality was so good . Thank you guys . Keep it up food was good .
N. P.
Stopped in for a quick drink and a light meal late afternoon and everything was great!
J.
Has a really good happy hour with a large range of mixed drinks to chose from! Service can be a bit slow if the restaurant is crowded but the waiters/waitress are very friendly.
A. D.
This place was the best place. The food was amazing and I felt right at home!!! 😎😎
S.
Good food but the music is 300 decibels it’s so loud turn it down
J. F.
We dropped in here for a drink only on our way back to the hotel. It has a contemporary feel good location to people watch. The staff were friendly and efficient. There was a band playing some nice background music. The food being delivered to surrounding tables looked good. It was a nice experience and worth a visit.
N.
Variable service, weird cold bean nachos, part of my least favourite convention centre, but generally fine. Strangely big chairs, but quiet enough to not need to yell on a Saturday night.
S. D.
Food was quite good. Service was just average. Didn’t get asked about whether we wanted more drinks or dessert until we’d decided to move on.
R. S.
We loved the ambience of the place. The food was very well prepared and of a high quality. The service was outstanding from the waiters, who anticipated our needs throughout the evening, very attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable of recommended certain dishes when we could not decide and certainly deserves praise. Our overall experience was excellent. We would certainly be back again. Whenever in Darling Harbour this is a must on the list of places to dine.
A. B.
Marvellous food,great place in Darling Harbour with Armenian owner flavour.
B. H.
Amazing staff. Amazing music. Can’t wait to come back.
t. m.
As three elderly people we arrived very early for our meal before attending Margaret Atwood in the Darling Harbour Theatre. The staff, on a Sunday evening, were plentiful, courteous and accommodating, encouraging us to sit and enjoy the surroundings until we wished to order. Food was very good. I am surprised by the negative reviews for this restaurant and would encourage visitors to give it a go!
G. C.
Jose was amazing. Great cocktail making class experience. Would recommend for a hen's nights. Stafd are friendly, food is tasty and drinks are 10/10
T. S.
I always have mixed feelings when I go to this restaurant. I usually visit during happy hpurs with my friends or work mates. Ofcourse for happy hour drinks. However, I do not liked to be adked everytime during the happy hour " If we would also like to see the happy hour Menu". And dont even get me on the lady who looks like a manager there. I get chills when I see her giving me her icy glare. I am sorry...if that is your personality but you really scare me. However, a decent place to hangout with sometimes Yum pizza!!
3 stars for a perfect location.
T. D.
Dishes can be hit and miss. Service was ok.
J. N.
Visited Planar restaurant for my birthday and it was lovely experience. All the food was very tasty and complimented by attentive service from wait staff. Very enjoyable for either intimate or large group size. Highly recommend!
P. P.
Although a pleasant team, they were understaffed for a Sunday evening - had to provide a reminder on orders a couple of times.
Food reasonably good with the exception of the GF pizza. Don’t waste your time ordering one - quite terrible for the ~$33 cost ($5 surcharge).
‘Public holiday’ surcharge for Sunday.
S. G.
Excellent service with good food. Average prices for Sydney. Al fresco dining was pleasant but high chairs a challenge for us oldies.
M. R.
Its a shame its opened during covid only. I can imagine how amazing and packed it would be. Such a great layout and location. Had dinner and drinks here with our friends and we love the service it was so warm and cozy and overlooking the harbour. Food was delicious had the meat for 2 platter and it was amazing. Can't wait to go back when covid is over!
M. M.
Nice food and good prices. Prompt and friendly service. Not mind blowing, but I'd consider coming here again. Favourite item was the pumpkin arancini.
J. B.
Nice location. Will be even better in hotter weekends. Shady with a breeze.
Food was reasonably priced. We were there at happy hour.
The happy hour menu was good. I recommend the salt and pepper calamari as better value than onion rings.
Would certainly dine there again.
J. P.
Good food, good services, atmosphere are fantastic,
Close to transport, beautiful restaurant. Totally recommend it.
Also they practice social distancing 👍temp and sanitizing station before entering the restaurants..
Staffs are very polite and very attentive. Totally recommend this place.
S. C.
Pleasant, cheerful, hectic, efficient. Probably like the zillion other restaurants on the Darling Harbour.
J. G.
Owner is a gentlemen! Food is excellent and hospitality is unheard of!
A. P.
View is amazing and a definite selling point, cocktails are also a good size. The food was nice but for the price you would expect the chef to either be a bit more careful or knowledgeable. Ordered kangaroo which came blue (despite stating medium rare on the menu) and stone cold on the centre. We had ordered an entree so I would have expected the chef to atleast pull the kangaroo out of the fridge prior to cooking or have rested the meat before flashing it on the grill again and serving, either of those could have avoided a cold centre. It is the little things that matter.
D. X.
Nice food, went back several times. I believe there were less options on the menu the last we went, but they’re happy to make your order if you ask!
J.
Great reasonably priced drinks and friendly staff!
N. G.
The food was better than expected although the service was fairly poor.
The chicken salad was good, as was the salt and pepper squid, but the burger was pretty meh.
R.
Extremely slow service. We ordered oysters and drinks. We had finished our drinks and still had to wait before our oysters arriving. When they did arrive they were tasty but had bits of shell throughout. This is not a big deal but differentiates amaterus and oyster shucking to pros (I expected the later and received the prior) We wanted more drinks and more food but nobody offered. We waited without being checked on for too long and decided we didn't want to order more only to spend more time waiting. All wait staff was friendly but service was unacceptably slow.
Z. T.
Aret, a manager here, showed us all great hospitality and would recommend this place!
c. t.
Having been stuck in home for last couple of months it was good to go out in the city. This place had $15 parking where else can you find it. As soon as we arrived there was hand sanitizer on the door and we was greeted by friendly staffs and our table was sanitized before we sat down which was good.The restaurant has warm and cozy feeling with nice view of the harbour which is an understatement.We were lucky we got there at 6 because as soon as we got there the place started filling up. We ordered Lynchburg lemonade was the best JD cocktail I had was nice and smooth. We was starving so we started off with Mezze platter it didn't take long for food to arrive even though it was busy let me tell you it was devoured in couple of minutes.
For the mains we ordered chicken and avo Orecchiette, suppresso wood fired pizza and crispy skin barramundi. Don't worry you vegetarian and vegans they have plenty of options for you too. When the food arrived presentations was on point but who cares about presentation the chicken avo orecchiette was creamy and who would have thought cooked avo would taste good. The pizzas crust was nice and crispy and barramundi just melted in my mouth.
I would totally recommend this place for casual date night and groups. And at the end we got free parking because of minimum spending thingy.
a. h.
Good food and even better company. Aret is coming to my wedding
P. D.
I went for dinner here last night, and it was astoundingly average. During dinner it was difficult to get any wait staff’s attention despite it not being busy in the slightest. At one point, I made eye contact with a waitress, she mouthed “are you ready to order” I nodded and she winked and walked away...
We ordered the “sharing” cocktails ($22 each, compared to $14 for a single) and when the first arrived we thought they had made a mistake and brought us a single cocktail instead of a sharing size. The waitress confirmed it was to share. The previous waiter had told us the cocktail serves about two and a half glasses. Not true and very underwhelming.
The food, however, was very tasty. I ordered the pumpkin risotto which was good.
T. M.
Started with drinks at the bar. Excellent cocktails. Cool bar, it does get busy on weekends (as to be expected) so that's something you will either like or not. Personally I liked the buzzy vibe. In contrast, the dining area is very relaxed. So its a good mix. Food all flawless. The staff made us feel special. It was perfect. We will be back.
c. i.
Iv been there with my family , and iv got a good sunday moment.
Thanks for the great service , we share with my brother and i , an mango dream cocktails , with good pizza

Such a good restaurant.

All the COVID safe rule followed.
I would love to com back there soon and everytime I could. 👌🏽
L. M.
Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Great friendly staff.
We were a large gathering, and timing of orders just needed refinement.
Overall nice experience.
R.
Food was pretty good, staff were nice. Very accomodating for big groups - no split bills though. Max you can split is between 2-3 people
J. f.
Customer service was great so refreshing service with a smile from when we walked in. Food was lovely we actually we just going to just have coffee but then decided to try a few snacks not disappointed at all. Plan to go go back. Such a lovely setting and location we sat outside under the heaters and was comfortable and happy hour was from 3 to 6 so we timed it perfectly. Thank you for an enjoyable end to out day.
N. B.
Visited as part of a work Christmas event on a very busy day. Had read reviews and braced myself for the worst. Pleasantly surprised though.
Staff were plentiful and attentive. Food was better than expected. The wait for food was none existent - mains arrived within 10-15mins of ordering. We had so many staff around the table that were both seasoned and new, that it felt we had our own servers. Wanted for nothing.
Would easily go back.
B. S.
Had a quick dinner here after a show at ICC.
Great location and nice setting. Thought the tv showing advertising of other restaurants was a but strange but food was good. Some small share plates. Salt and pepper squid was real nice and cauliflower dish was ok. When waiter spilled wine on the table, service was nice and offered complimentary glasses. All up nice place, good food and service.
D. N.
This place is amazing, now you have the Darling Harbour beautiful view, their food is excellent (we ordered ribs and Pizza), the staff and bartenders are very professionals. Highly recommended.
S. G.
Food was great, service was shocking. Nice staff however we had to go to the counter and get our own menus even after asking for them. Then we had our entree and main meals come out all at once. We sent the mains back then, as predicted, nobody bothered to bring them back or check on us. They don't seem to know how to provide a positive experience for patrons when they're all running around like headless chooks. Not a pleasant experience apart from the food.
R. S.
Positives were the vibe, nice service, choices of seating and general surroundings - nice view, although settled back from the harbour a bit. Negatives - food was reasonably priced though slightly unfulfilling after you're finished - you still feel hungry (cheap servings); they got my order wrong (asked for naked burger, they brought out burger with buns), and the live music was far too loud and distracting (I was struggling to hear the conversations I was in). All up, it will suffice if you need a place to meet old friends on a saturday evening.
M. H.
Absolutely sensational. Great service and great beers 🙂
K. W.
Excellent food and atmosphere. Definitely coming back!!
N. D.
The best ever!!! Food was great Paige was the best and shots were great
J. R.
Came with a big group. Service was all over the place but understandable as so were we. Got a fresh juice as they don’t have mocktails. That was fine. Got the $2 oyster special and they were fresh and came fast. Then ordered the mussels for $31 and that was a disappointment. There was about 10 mussels and one piece of bread. Size was less than what I would normally accept as an entree. Tasted good but I’m already thinking about the pizza I’ll get on my way back home.
L. S.
The service was friendly, the outlook was nice, however the music changed so much through the night, I didn't know what scene or sence of feel the place was going for. It was cluby with chilled pub/restaurant vibes.
Music was terrible. If it's a places for pre's I'd understand, but nobody seemed like that there. Food was pricy and drinks were limited.
S. E.
Delightful GF pizza and absolutely lovely staff. One of the best GF pizza bases I've had and they have a decent range of foods to suit dietary options. The ambience was great and it's a really pretty place for dinner in Darling Harbour, with a wonderful view.
D. P.
Great place, beautiful view. Looks interesting from outside, colourful and different then other places in Darling H. They are really thoughtful about cold weather and the fact its open space. Wind covers, heaters everywhere and staff was even offering us some blankets. I felt really warm and cozy. Everyone is smiling there, very good vibe and service was very good, professional and yet very pleasant. My partner and me were having cheese plate as starters and duck ravioli and kangaroo. Sooo delicious. We even kept going with deserts. Highly recommending!! Coming back!
a. s.
Quick and friendly service, affordable prices

E. G. A.
We enjoyed two different pizza flavors and it was delicious. The pasta was well prepared as well. We would definitely try this place again in the future. Keep up the good food. 4 stars!
J. B.
Wish I could give it 10 stars. Staff were amazing, food delicious. Setting and atmosphere great. Nice serving size, couldn't finish my pasta unfortunately as I filled up on the pork sliders. Eyes bigger then my stomach. The price was fantastic. Pity I live in Brisbane as I can't wait to come back.
K. L.
Went with a group of 8 people, lunch time and they were not too busy. Service was fast and friendly. Express lunch menu is decent value as it includes a main meal and a drink; good variety too. The group was served quickly and everyone got their express lunch order almost the same time. The location tucked away at ICC Sydney, closer to the quieter harbour side.
f. a.
The first time we had coffee here, it was terrible. The waiter said that their chai latte was not sweet at all and it turned out to be a cup of sugar. Their coffee wasnt amazing from what my friend said. Their croissants were very average also.
But when we had lunch here, both of us were impressed with how great their lamb salad was. So it turns out it depends on what you order. The location is great and there's lots of outdoor seating to choose from.
K. T.
Very busy cafe restaurant serving excellent coffee, desserts and meals in a sublime setting right near Cockle Bay!
L. K.
One of the best resturant in darling harbour. The food was amazing with friendly staffs and excellent customer service. The resturant has excellently managed to provide welcoming and safe environment maintaining the social distance of 1.5 meter between each table with sanitised and clean environment.
j.
Food was good. Interior of restaurant was quite nice. Only negative is the pricing it’s a bit expensive. The sweet potato fries were really nice. Apparently their pizzas are good as well. Good place to come if you are going to Vivid or the ICC. Food service was really quick, probably because it was quiet. But we only had to wait 10mins which was good! A restaurant like this would do well in Mosman.
S. T.
Wow what a meal. The Bbq platter, to die for, the beef and pork ribs were so tender and delicious. The wagyu, amazing, so tasty and cooked to perfection 🤤
B. T.
The vegan risotto was delicious, they didn't give us water on the table but the service was really quick and tasty
R. M.
Located at the foot of the Convention Centre, away from the crowd of Darling Harbour, this spacious restaurant is perfect for a get together. They have an happy hour time (on Monday at least) and great pizzas. The waiters/waitresses are mostly all young foreigners/students, very nice people but missing a bit of experience.
G. L.
Food and service was average. 3 stars sounds about right.
V. H.
Great value dinner during happy hour - tasty pizzas 10$ each, wine and beer 5$ each. Waitress was friendly and it was nice to sit outside and watch the street performers in the distance. Service was prompt too. Sure we will be back!
P. P. N.
Good service and drinks, had a good time here!
S. B.
Good food, prompt service and welcoming staff.

I really enjoyed this bar, it had really amazing cocktails and great staff!! I recommend everyone to come here for a great time
A. M.
I went for my birthday and the staff were absolutely amazing. Best pizza I’ve had for a long time. Definitely coming back
M. L.
Funky vibe, right in the middle of the action of Darling Harbour. Great food, cocktails and friendly staff.
S. W.
I really was hoping for the best. A nice shop front, friendly (if not over eager) staff and a menu, whilst on the high side of acceptable, looked appealing and had heaps to choose from. Sadly, the crocodile burger is not recommended. It doesn't taste at all like anything. It wasn't bad, it was just bland. My friend said the same about the salmon.
M. H.
Good value Happy Hour beer, wine & pizza from 3pm. Pleasant water views. Nice place.
N.
Great little cafe/restaurant that has both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is usually good and food arrived quite quickly. It can get quite busy during the weekend or if there is a conference or event on in the convention centre. Will always return as as it has the perfect location and great place to meet up with others.
E. G.
The food is largely uninteresting and uninspired. The flavours are bland and split billing is a non-starter.
T. D.
The best place! Loveliest staff! Fantastic food! Could not recommend anymore! Justin you are incredible!!!
C.
Been there today for the 2th time after a very good first experience. Unfortunately today was not amazing . Food was ok, not amazing but ok. One big REMARK, I ordered a GF burger and I receive a burger on normal bread. Why is it, for god sake, so difficult to bring the right order. Food allergies are not a joke! I don't eat GF because I like it but because I have to. The staff was very nice and they tried to solve the issue, but still it ruined our lunch.
J. P.
Such nice staff, especially the service from Aret. Thank you
A.
Absolutely love it here! Not even from Sydney area yet I come back here every time I travel down! Super wonderful and polite staff as well, 10/10 recommended
S. G.
Had a great evening on the Valentine's day! It seemed pretty busy and high volume of work for the staff but we enjoyed with Aret's recommendations
m. h.
Had a lovely dinner and the staff were very friendly!!! Food and drinks were amazing. Would come back again :)

Good vibes!!!!! Really great food!! Loved the Wagga fried rice!!!! Id come again love this place… Nice drinks too 😍😝
D. B.
Beautiful atmosphere!
The food was amazing and the drinks were even better. Definitely recommend!
G. T.
What a super relaxing atmosphere overlooking Darling Harbour. The breeze, as promised by the attentive staff added to a great ambiance and dining experience. Food was AbFab, flavoursom plus and represented value for money. Definitely another visit on the cards.
C. K.
Nice location & excellent lunch options. I wont give five stars just because of the waitstaff. Not a friendly service, the staff seems to carry 'not interested/not welcoming' attitude. We saw few customers upset & leaving due to service issues.
N. P.
The manager aret made our night so enjoyable! From great drinks, to great food, to a great view what more could you want in a night out
M. O.
We went for lunch with a group of 8. Firstly the food was very nice and the location and ambience very good.
Now for the negative and I'd be harsher but given its new I'll put it down to teething issues. The wait staff did not really know the dishes or wines, we asked for a bottle of wine and we received a single glass. One of our party ordered the roast chicken and received a chicken burger instead, this was after an extended wait as all of us had received our meals. It was taken back to the kitchen and had taken so long he asked for the chicken to be packaged for takeaway.
The group felt bad so we said we would all wait and chat while he ate his meal. He told the wait staff that is was ok he would eat it here after all. After another 20mins his meal eventually arrived and................It was fish!!!!. He ate it and we left at this point what could you do but laugh.
S. J. H. S.
I'd tried the biggest and delicious ribs that I've ever tried. I had great experience during happy hour for good price and amazing services. Good vibes!! Recommended!!
C. B.
Amazing staff at Planar! Great cocktails for whatever you're feeling like, highly recommended! x
B. K.
Very - very good food, amazing location - and then there is the entertainment. People watching: the Marshall trying to control the people, moving them from table to table - the staff explaining that their liquor licencising laws prevent them from service alcohol (to customers that are dining), not really understanding the wine list, and all without any regard to their customer’s feelings.
Maybe they need a sign at the entry area : “please wait to be seated” to have customers understand the protocol, instead of walking into the space, taking a seat - and then being asked to be moved to an adjacent table.... all because the Marshall wants to assert his power.
Great night and worth a visit- hope management make some changes to make this place one of Sydney’s best!
P. R.
Very friendly very helpful - honestly the best Bellini’s !!
D. P.
Service was good and food tasted really good.

AMAZING food and lovely service, 100% recommended
S. R.
The customer service I received from Jasenya was incredible she always had a smile, made me feel welcomed and she just had a positive vibe. I would hire her in an instant because it's hard to find people in Hospitality like her. I work as a Chief Concierge and would gladly give her a job so hold onto her Hahaha. Awesome job the food was good and coffee was excellent!
S. I.
They have a good coffee and good view of Darling Harbour. Different choices of food. I had a lamb burger and one signature juice, both of them was great. Lovely staff.
I will comeback again.

We had a perfect romantic dinner with my gf in Valentine’s day here in Planar and everything was amazing, will definitely return!!
C. M.
Excellent vibe! Excellent music! Cold beverage as requested. Lost a star because of slow service.
N. D.
Really nice atmosphere and food was lovely. Only docked a star cause the wait staff were a little all over the place and the fish and chips was not value for money.
M. A.
Had a lovely meal and drinks where nice and cold. The only thing was that staff were very anxious to remove our plates when we were still eating or only one of us had finished. We didn't feel relaxed. Hope next time will be better.
M. R.
We had a function and everything was perfect.
The food was fantastic and abundant.
The service, after five minutes, was great, just the time needed to understand our necessities.
We will be back soon.
L. G.
Had a fantastic cocktail making experience. The staff were very kind and the drinks were fabulous.

Hats of to the chef I'm a very fussy eater got the chicken risotto absolutely best I've ever eaten. Definitely will be back here for a feed. Pizza was great also.thanku service was good also
S. K.
Wow! This was so good! The food is a 10/10 and the service matches that. The venue is a 11/10, such a nice spot in the corner but with amazing views. Thanks heaps guys!

Stay had the best costumer service ever, such a kind gentlemen!! Recommend this restaurant 1000 times over!

such a good night! Aret & Lucho have been absolutely amazing to us, very accomodating and very friendly - great service and great food.
B. A.
Great dishes and great service! Definitely worth coming here, will come back for sure !
N. B.
I mean, the staff was great, the place was very nice, but it felt a bit Manhattan Montauky to me (kinda hip but posh in an Instagram influencer kind of way). Very nice place I'm sure if you love that kind of thing! Staff were accommodating and attentive
F. A.
Ordered a simple Smashed Avo and orange juice, food arrived on time and was great. But waited half hour for my orange juice, and got it only after chasing them about it 2 times. Very disappointed with the service.
J. B.
Restaurant just opened this week, so we were keen to sample the offering during our 9PM visit with friends.
Service: Friendly, polite, prompt. Food was delivered relatively quickly, and feedback was sought on meal quality. Staff attention waned after food was provided.
Drinks: Nice selection of cocktails, great presentation and decent prices. I enjoy wine, and was disappointed with the wine list.
Food: Some minor improvements sought. We ordered a small plate (Acropolis), a salad (Cavalo nero) and 2 pizzas to share.
Acropolis is stone baked beef mince with capsicum, parley, pitta bread and yoghurt. Delicious.
My gripe is with the Cavolo Nero salad with quinoa, cucumber, heirloom tomatoes, roasted yams and more. The primary ingredient had been substituted with common curly kale, and its only week one Heirloom tomatoes appeared to be common cherry tomatoes. Small details make a difference.
Red Lobster pizza. Lobster is more ground than chunk and added as a garnish. Adds lovely aroma and flavours. Delicious. Some found it slightly sweet. Overall I'm impressed as too many restaurants overdo the salt.
Shredded Waygu: Good amount of toppings. Group of 4 agree this pizza was overly sweet.
Seating: we sat outside on the lounge-style seats. Comfy but they're so low relative to the table. This made eating awkward for some.
Value: overall the prices are good, especially considering location.

Had breakfast there 3 times last week as it was close to my work venue.
Food was OK, service terrible. No one to greet us, one staff member was on her phone taking photos!, Wait people whose English is not great is really annoying if one has to repeat a request several times as they just dont get it!2 out of 3 times my order was incorrect. . Its a bit of a shambles really although a great venue.

Delicious food and great view. Had the lobster pizza and kale salad. Just fantastic. Only mark off was the staff could use a little work. But definitely worth checking out.

A very cosy and pleasent experience for our group of 11 and 3 kids. Service was quite good. The staff was cheerful and patient. Special thanks to Clara. Room for improvement in food, flavour wise. Overall a good experience. Cheers!

Good place to drink and bond with friends. Only thing is sometimes they grab your drink without asking if your finish with it

Good location, staff very inexperienced…it seems they were all under age / students – even the pizza maker…it seems he could not even hold the spoon to spread the tomato sauce on top of the pizza base…
We ordered a salad which was fine, you have to be really bad to go wrong making a salad, and a pizza which tasted like a bread with cheese…I swear the ones we buy from the supermarket are better!
Shame because it has potential where it sits but there are way too many better places to eat around … first time, last time.

Decent food, relaxed atmosphere and priced well for darling harbour... but incredibly slow. Having to wait 30 minutes for someone to bother to come take an order was almost as fustrating as the 40 minutes it took for someone to bring the bill.

Fantastic service and excellent prices for a quality meal and drinks. Meals were fast and together, very nice wait staff, smart and sensible. The most comfortable restaurant at Darling Harbour.

Nice location and friendly staff although amused being called ‘lady’ the whole time. My fish was over cooked and so the batter was too crunchy. Disappointing for a simple dish. Room for improvement.
