Review Sydney Flying Squadron - Kirribilli

Great food, ambience, drinks on the terrace....one of Sydney's hidden gems. The Flying Bear Cafe underneath is right over the water with fabulous views...gteat for brunch/ lunch...or just coffee.

5 star for the location and service. Food was good, I just wish it was great.. hence the overall 4 star.. had the fish and chips,

Saturday lunch with a view of the harbour and good vantage to see the racing yachts being rigged in the park. Great menu and service.

Beautiful spot and a great team. We had out boat xmas party there and they were very accommodating as our numbers rose from 10 to 30! Food was really good. It's got a good atmosphere and a noisy buzz when it gets going.

This was my first visit to the Sydney Flying Squadron, and I loved it! The steak and fries were fantastic, with the steak juicy, tender, succulent and delicious, and the shoestring fries crisp and yummy. The service was great and the dining room was welcoming. It was raining heavily, so I didn't get to enjoy the views, but I'm sure this will add an extra dimension next time. There is plenty of two and four hour parking in the surrounding streets.

This venue has a fantastic location right on the harbour at Careening Cove in Kirribilli. The downstairs cafe serves fab health food and drinks plus good coffee. You will love the experience. Ideal destination for interstate or overseas visitors.

I love LOVE! this place. Great for a few beers and a view of the water, good food. In the morning, breakfast with a view cannot be beat. One wish… they would not allow dogs. Gross at the table.

Not only the oldest open boat sailing club, but possibly the best sailing club in Sydney. A great place to learn to sail or for experienced sailors to participate in great community and sail challenging but rewarding historical boats.

As my friends and I subscribe to the Ensemble, we eat here relatively regularly. Last night was one of those times. Upon being seated we noticed a fairly limited menu. No big deal. We made our choices and placed our order and the waiter explained that there was a new chef and kitchen. Our group had ordered one entree to share so we didn't get too full to enjoy our meal. Well we waited for over an hour to get a small basket of calamari! In all that time no one came near us except when we called them over and the explanation was 'we've got a new chef and kitchen etc' but that shouldn't be the customers problem!! Not once were we offered even a plate of sour dough or something to placate by this time our grumbling tums! When our meals finally did arrive (going on for two hours now) 3 of the four were lovely although my partners steak was not cooked as requested. I chose the lamb and had to cut off about 1/2 cup of lumps of fat. I would suggest that the kitchen staff trim the meat or buy a cut with less fat. After eating our meal we thought we might take chance on dessert only to find that the menu consisted of either a cheese platter or a choice of three flavours of ice cream! And that was it!! Really spoil a good night at the theatre. When my husband went to pay the bill the waiter kindly said 'Thankyou I hope you enjoyed your meal' and my husband relied that we had but it took too long. The kitchen staff some metres away just laughed! Won't be going back. Too many better choices nearby.

We went to the Sydney Flying Squadron for lunch on Easter Sunday. It was a beautiful, sunny day, we sat on the balcony overlooking the water and the boats, such a beautiful view. Lunch was great, the steak was tender, the atmosphere was relaxed and we had a lovely time. Would recommend the Sydney Flying Squadron to anyone who enjoys good food in a beautiful position. It's also good to call in for a drink and snack, membership is very reasonably priced, with very special rates for pensioners and residents. Visitors are welcome.

Brilliant location, very friendly staff, great value for money, stunning food. Highly recommend going. !!!!

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch yesterday at the Sydney Flying Squadron, food was absolutely delicious, although we did wait over an hour for our food and as a result of this our daughter fainted. Staff were great in helping provide drinks & chips. Also a gorgeous lady behind us helped too. Thanks everyone.

This is one of our favourite places in Sydney. The staff are great, the food is lovely and the Spectator Ferry is the best value in Sydney.

Love this place for breakfast or beers. It's a great place to take visitors or meet up with locals.

Location location location. Very average food but a great spot to drink a beer looking across Sydney Harbour. Wonderful little Café underneath called The Flying Bear with the same superb view.

Lovely club Does anyone have any 1960s photos of the "Queen Of Sydney Harbor" races if you do please let me know.

Extremely disappointed. Friends invited us to come out on the harbour to watch them race their 18' footer in a series of races to celebrate the 125th anniversary. We rang the club and booked tickets on the spectator ferry. I arranged to stay in Sydney overnight and we arrived early at 11.15am so as to pick up our tickets at the club as requested by staff when we booked. We found the club and a staff member was standing at a service door. We asked where the main entrance was and was rather rudely told "we're not open" we explained we were picking up our tickets and was told " oh the ferry's cancelled" when we asked why we were told it had broken down the week before. This was before we had rung and made our booking. We asked about lunch and was told again that they didn't open till noon. We then went and found our friends only to discover there was food available in the area below the club. We spoke with a man who also booked the ferry for his family visiting the UK to help him celebrate his 50th birthday that day. No doubt there were many people extremely disappointed about the cancellation. I found the staff members attitude extremely rude and by neglecting to tell us there was a cafe area open downstairs would if it hadn't been for our friend caused us to return home with our day ruined. I doubt I will ever visit the club again.

It's a lovely location and most of the staff are adorable! The serving staff were great to us today. Mixed food quality but location makes up for it. Wasn't great today when we couldn't split a big tables bill into two most places let you these days. As much as I understand management not wanting to do it a little more grace from the manager in handling my sisters request would have been appreciated.!! Young man on our table was also told to remove his hat in a nasty manner whilst four other gentlemen in the restaurant were left alone (same person as bill splitting issue so was clearly having a bad day). Again don't mind following rules but using no manners to ask one person to follow rules without asking anyone else doesn't sit well. Normally love this place not sure we would go back now.

I haven't been to the restaurant for a couple of years and, wow, what an improvement. The food was just lovely.

Superbe city ,très arborée, un mélange d architecture surprenante, les automobilistes sont respectueux, très peu de fumeurs, pas de mégots par terre, un peu humide à mon goût, les australiens sont avenants, je reviendrai.

Beautiful setting and quite attractive restaurant. My fish and chips was gtionsood but some of the other dishes were quite ordinary. Wine by the glass portions were miniscule.

Bloody lovely. . . . .if a bit noisy on Saturday but, obviously very popular. Food outstanding! Thank you.

Just love the club but sadly the food is very poor now since the changeover. Have been back several times in the hope it might be improving but it hasn't. Pity!
