Harbour Bar & Kitchen - Sydney

Come here because we could not get a table near Hurricane Grills, but turned out to be a beautiful culinary experience. Grief Grief The staff was very friendly and the service was very fast. All meals were of decent share size. For the location and the view it is very cheap. Our friends and family have all enjoyed what they ordered. Even the children's meals were well dimensioned and the mini burger is big enough for a big child. The steak I cooked on the medium was overlooked, but not too dry. Overall, we enjoyed our meal.

Pretty good location with excellent views. Drinks and deep-covered seafood (scallops, shrimps) were so delicious! Excellent pastry with a decent soft texture. Crust was nice and crisp.

Came here 2 weeks ago for an early sitting. I booked during the week for a Sat night but on the day our booking was nowhere to be found. We were seated outside with what seemed like half a table as it was literally half the size of the rest of the tables out on the balcony. Service really needs to be more attentive & staff trained on the basics. Someone came out with a jug but no glasses. Staff were barely around half the time, it would be good to have staff check up every now & then. We decided to order the Mayflower & Lychee Flyover for drinks to start off. Entrees - scallops - cooked well however there is a large amount of quinoa, personally it doesn't really need so much of this. - duck spring rolls (as everyone has been raving on about them here) - first few bites were good but the filo pastry gets quite filling after a while, I think normal spring roll pastry would be better or maybe less filo sheets. The entrées came quite quickly and we were still waiting for our cocktails, to which the waitress seemed rather oblivious about. When we asked she went & asked & came back saying she didn't know what happened....haha funny story not. Cocktails finally came out, they both were good & for the price of $10 they were worth it, we just wished they came out earlier as we would've ordered more but just didn't want to risk waiting again. Mains - Kale salad - salad was nice however was drenched in dressing, they need to go easy on this as it is rather sweet. It was nice but we couldn't finish it. - Full order of the pork ribs - meat was juicy, tender & fell off the bone. We should've ordered a half size as we were full from the entrées. The sauce was a tad bit too sweet but the crunchy chips helped balance the flavours out. We couldn't finish it all so we requested to get it takeaway, they gave the food to use in containers but not in a plastic bag, come on guys, a bit of common sense here. I'd say this is a nice place for some cocktails & snacks if you are on the balcony overlooking Darling Harbour. As mentioned, service needs to be improved & get rid of that half sized table, it was so hard to fit anything on it.

Dinner and drinks with a view - this is a venue to sit back, sip and take in the atmosphere of Darling Harbour. When here a table outside is a must. This restaurant provides a great view over Darling Harbour, Pyrmont bridge and the city skyline. We dined on a Tuesday night and found ourselves relaxing with a deliciously fresh cocktail - the Lychee Flyover (chambord, pineapple and strawberry) and some crisp Pacifico beers. For starters we had the scallops with quinoa and apple couscous and the duck spring rolls. The duck spring rolls were a standout - filled with snow peas, bean sprouts, ginger, garlic and flavoursome duck. Covered in a homemade pastry that gives them a homely crust. The pastry was deliciously puffed and crispy and went excellently with the plum hoisin sauce. For mains we could not go past the rib & rib combo - ½ rack of pork ribs and a ½ rack of beef ribs woodfired and basted in five spice sauce. The ribs were juicy and melted off the bone. The steakhouse chips were chunky and softened by the rib sauce - delicious. We also tried the swordfish fettuccine with mushrooms, olives and semi dried tomatoes - however the ribs would be our recommendation. After tackling the rib & rib combo we just couldn't fit dessert in but would like to come back to try the chocolate brûlée dome!
