Review The Boathouse On Blackwattle Bay - Sydney

Jo Wong
Every dish we ordered was delicious! The wait staff were very courteous, friendly and helpful despite the current world climate. Get out there and keep supporting your favourite restaurants but don’t forget social distancing yourself too. 🙏🏼💙

Make a reservation for an early dinner and watch the sun set as you dine. The kingfish sashimi starter is gorgeous, and the oysters are very fresh (the bread was too tough and chewy and not to my liking). The snapper pie is the best dish, we knew we would want to share one each. Pairing this with the John dory makes for a massive meal. The chips are the best I've had, prices are not unreasonable for the food and location.

A stunning array of seafood at the Bosthouse Sydney in Glebe! A place I've been wanting to dine at for a long time now, I finally had the chance to check out the current menu. If you visit you MUST ORDER the Snapper Pie, it has been on the menu for 20 years and it's not going anywhere. A beautiful creamy filling, with a crispy outer shell and that lingering finish of truffle oil on the tastebuds 🤤 ..simply devine 👌 I also highly reccommend the roast clarence river prawns, beautiful tarragon & cider butter on these babies. The other dishes I tried were beautifully put together, next time i must go for some caviar and oysters 😋 Can't wait to return to this beautifully set restaurant above the glebe boat shed. Stunning views and very elegant atmosphere 🌊🔥

Best oyster selection in Sydney! Perfect for lunch. What a contrast to our lunch at Flying Fish last week! The restaurant has a warm and welcome atmosphere. The wait staff were attentive and interested. Amazing oyster selection with the oysters being freshly shucked. The swordfish main was very tasty. Octopus entree lacked a bit of flavour. Peach sorbet rounded out the meal. Good selection of wines by glass. Will be back again.

We went here on Valentine’s Day. The food was ok. The prawns were tasty and fish was well cooked. It’s just nothing to write home about. The chips were terrible, very dry. Pie presentation was poor and although it was tasty, it came with weird accompaniments. Staff were not great and it was obvious they needed our table sooner rather than later. I get it is Valentine’s Day it was just a little bit of a shame. Also the atmosphere is a bit pretentious. Maybe it’s just not our cup of tea, check it out for yourself, I just don’t get the hype to be honest.

We came here out of curiosity for it being a hatted restaurant. The menu is 95% seafood, so if you’re not into seafood, probably try elsewhere. My favourite of all the dishes we tried was the signature Snapper Pie, creamy pot full of snapper fillet inside buttery pastry cover. Oyster connoisseurs would probably like it too, because they have so many options from different regions (not me unfortunately). If you want tasting menu, remember to book in advance, otherwise they only do a la carte. Service is good, although on a weekend evening it might sometimes take a bit of effort to catch the staff’s attention. It was my partner’s Dad’s birthday so they organised a little sweet surprise that the whole table can share (as a replacement for the cake that we can’t BYO, no wine BYO either). I guess the waterfront view is the most outstanding wow factor of this place. For the price point, I’ve had a better experience elsewhere to be honest, or perhaps we had unrealistic expectations?

This place is one of the best fine dining experiences in Sydney. Top view, top service and top food. It's always a little tricky coming here with your own car and it's best to take a taxi or uber it due to limited parking space. Their signature fish pie is always delicious including the amazing selection of oysters.

Overlooking the Anzac Bridge and Blackwattle Bay you'll find the Boathouse. With a menu that changes every day depending on what's fresh, you're always guaranteed the best quality seafood. We order the kingfish sashimi, the roasted King prawns, the mahi mahi and their famous Snapper Pie. Kingfish was fresh and the prawns are not to be missed - that butter is amazing! The Snapper Pie is a menu staple for a reason. They've nailed the recipe with super tender snapper and an amazingly creamy sauce with just a hint of truffle oil. It's served and plated table side which seems a little unnecessary but adds an extra special touch. With incredible views and equally as good food, throw this one on the list as soon as you can

This restaurant is in a lovely location on Blackwattle Bay in Sydney with a view of the Anzac Bridge. We arrived by taxi, but if you want to make a more dramatic entrance, you can arrive by water taxi. Greeted by friendly faces from the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable and the wait staff very knowledgeable about the dishes.

Saw The Boathouse listed as one of the top seafood restaurants Sydney. Although the view toward the Anzac bridge was nice and the venue had a nice ambiance, unfortunately the food was okay, but did not live up to the hype and price.<br/><br/>We opted for a variety of starters so we could enjoy a few dishes. All of the starters were pretty small. Even smaller than what I would expect for a starter.<br/><br/>The prawns had a nice flavour but difficult to eat.<br/>Sashimi was fresh.<br/>Octopus was fairly chewy, but the marinade was pleasant.<br/>The goats cheese churros were a good balance.<br/><br/>You would either need more of each dish to balance to the cost. Or, there needs to be more wow in the flavours.
Richard Sterling
An excellent restaurant offering wonderful food and service. The wine list offers an adventure but very pricey. The big let down was the short and hopelessly industrial beer list which does not reflect the rich Sydney craft beer scene.
Anne Sudartha
Starters were amazing, mains were average but overall service was good. The main complain is the valet attendant, he was so rude. The glebe restaurant entrance was secluded, we parked on the back street and we asked him where the restaurant entrance was. He said to us abruptly "where the black sign in", but there is no door near the black sign. He could've pounted us to the right direction without being rude. I think it was entirely out of line.

We had 3 kinds of amazingly fresh oysters selected from a huge variety and loved them all! We chose the king prawns, the duck and the tuna sashima as starters and thoroughly enjoyed each and every bite! We were excited to try the snapper pie after hearing many good things. Although it did not disappoint, we both enjoyed the starters a lot more. Views of the bay was stunning at night. All the waitstaff were super friendly except for one British girl - she was mostly indifferent and maybe even borderline dismissive, exuded a visibly different attitude when serving the table next to us (maybe it was us?), did not once (out of multiple visits to our table) ask what we thought of the food - not bad enough to ruin our night but a shame given the night would have been perfect otherwise. We still tipped, mainly for the others.

It’s always a lovely experience dining at The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay. The views are stunning, especially at night, the service is impeccable and the seafood is always fresh and the best quality. Every time I go, my main must always be their famous snapper pie (pictured). It never disappoints! #snapperpie #theboathouse
Mr. D
Had great night here! A bit out of the way and secluded well worth the booking! Great location and views. The service was on point! Food was delicious what more could you ask for?
Dom Ung
Great place with spectacular views of Anzac Bridge, especially if you come here don’t forget to order Fish Pie and Oysters. The oysters was fresh and juicy, I couldn’t get enough of it.
Sydney I’m Hungry
The Boathouse on Black Wattle Bay is simply stunning. Set right on the water with views of the Anzac bridge, fish markets and the bay. Ask for a table at the front when booking. <br/>The menu here starts with more than ten different oysters from across the NSW coast and Australia. With a great selection of entrees ($27) and mains ($48), you’ll be spoilt for choice. We tried a range of oysters, personally enjoying the Clare de lune oysters above others. Sharing the king prawn entree we weren’t disappointed. For the mains the obvious choice is the snapper pie and boy does it deliver. I’d recommend sharing the pie between two people with a side of thick cut chips and leaving room for dessert. Will be returning here for any special occasion worth celebrating in Sydney.

We love all good food, but we are especially passionate about Australia’s wonderful array of local fish and seafood, freshly caught every day. Oysters are one of our obsessions. And while you are exploring our daily menus or simply sharing a plate of oysters in The Boathouse Bar, you can also enjoy magical views across Blackwattle Bay to the Anzac Bridge and Sydney Fish Market from our historic boathouse home. You might even spot a few Sydney rowers gliding by.

When you arrive by water taxi to a restaurant that is situated on a tip of a jetty, you are bound to expect a wonderful dining experience. <br/>The views firstly are breathtaking, with full wall to ceiling windows, you get unrivalled views of Sydney’s harbour. <br/><br/>The two standout dishes that I tried were: <br/><br/>Ballina spanner crab - wok cooked in salt and pepper spices. It was finger licking good, the meat was sweet and succulent and had the right amount of spice and flavouring. <br/><br/>Dessert: Sheeps milk pannacotta watermelon, strawberries and ginger. It was a refreshing dessert to end the meal. The perfect sweet ending. <br/><br/>A gorgeous venue with equally impressive dishes.

Don’t know how it’s got 4.5 but this restaurant has the worst service, worst manager that ruined our Christmas 2018 completely. The manager has been very rude starting at the very beginning of the whole experience. Throwing bread basket on our table, a piece of sourdough falls out because of his throwing and he didn’t seemed to care about it. Asked him nicely to get us an extra set of cutlery because we’ve got 6 and there are only 5 sets, and he answered with “there are enough cutleries”, we explained there were only 5 sets, he counted them and went like “what the hell” (mumbles but...)<br/>Food is very average, but we can live with that, and 30mins after we ordered some coffee and tea, and other tables surrounding whom ordered later than us had already finished their drinks, we asked on a second time of checking whether the drinks are making/delivering, the same manager rudely interrupted our unfinished question, and went “yeh yeh I know, it’s coming”, which we never got our drinks but had to cancel them. <br/>It’s a very unpleasant Christmas dinner, too much to tell and not much to enjoy. WONT COME BACK AND NOT RECOMMENDED.
Jeenie Isyourmum
VERY BAD SERVICE. Awful service, arrogant manager (yes I’m talking about the bald head guy manager here) he wouldn’t even listen to customers and let the customer finish their sentence. Such service can’t be explained at all. <br/>Very very terrible service. We ordered after meal tea & coffee, waited for 30 minutes and asked one of the staff about the drinks and he lied to us they are on its way without even actually checking. Eventually we found out that they never put in the order docket which was funny and sarcastic of how that staff had lied to us.<br/>Food is also average, a bit over priced frankly speaking.<br/>Won’t come back here anymore no matter how good the view is.

A lovely place to eat lunch with a great view - oysters freshly shucked, showcasing the best of Sydney’s seafood. Snapper pie is a classic for a reason. Friendly service. Highly recommend.
Shijia Jessica Zhang
Service is good. Fish is plain, was expecting little bit more special in the way they cook it. Try not to order Handcut fries, very thick, dry, not crispy outside..

Situated a short drive from Sydney’s CBD, perched quite literally over the water, the glass-enclosed haven that is The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay, offers expansive views of the Anzac Bridge and Sydney’s skyline. This once old boathouse provides a peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of the city; the perfect spot for a romantic date night or long boozy lunch with friends.<br/><br/>Highlighting beautiful, local seafood through flavours, which work to enhance and never distract, this is a fine dining experience that hasn’t lost its focus on good food and great service. From simple and fresh to hearty and rich, The Boathouse at Blackwattle Bay showcases seafood with a remarkable passion and finesse.

Started with a great gin and tonic, with a backdrop of the city skyline.<br/>Tried three wines, none of which were very impressive.<br/>For the main we had the Mullet - we didn’t really like the taste of it, and it was quite dry, didn’t finish it.<br/>The Fish pie though was absolutely delicious!<br/>The Brussel sprouts were fantastic as well.<br/>Service was sales orientated (annoyingly so) and robotic. Ambience is amazing with the view of the city lights. Make sure you reserve a table by the window facing the city.
Rachel Rong
I decided to give this restaurant a go on my birthday. I now know what all the hype is about! The service was great. They print daily menu’s and they handwrite their own coasters. So adorable!<br/><br/>I ordered oysters and the sashimi from the starters. They had a whole list of oysters and I randomly chose some. The taste was so fresh and smooth. Vinegary zesty sauce was also bomb! The sashimi was also really fresh and a melt in the mouth experience. As for the famous snapper pie, I didnt order it but my friends did. The creamy aroma made me definitely want to come back next time and try it. <br/><br/>I ordered the yuzu cocktail. The yuzu flavour definitely complimented the alcohol (I’m usually not the one to finish a cocktail because i dont like the bitterness of the alcohol) but I ordered another. At $20 a hit, it’s definitely not cheap!<br/><br/>The aioli fries were also delicious. Crispy and salty.<br/><br/>Definitely will be back for more!
TinaGL
Wanted to try this place for ages as my husband and i both love seafood. We were lucky enough to have dinner paid for by work as a thank you. Started the evening with yuzu margarita. was the best cocktail i have ever had. perfect! unfortunately went down hill from there. i had balmain bugs which was the special for entree and snapper pie for main. both were over cooked and a bit mushy. Not much snapper in the pie and very bland. dont understand the hype with this dish. husband had oysters which were incredible and crab. again crab was over cooked. so many restaurants fail to be able to give the respect to seafood and over cook it. very expensive mediocre meal. glad we were not paying.
Steve
Used to be great, now losing its appeal. The food quality is dropping, but not the price tag. Maitre’d gives you the ‘required’ service, leaving you cold.<br/><br/>Unsure whether I will return again
Blurred Limes
One of those restaurants for special occasions and not for a casual weeknight dinner. <br/><br/>Although the food was good, it wasn't anything too special and the hype was lost on me. The oysters were fresh and great, but the mains were average and quite bland. The most impressive part was the view, which obviously is the highlight of the restaurant.
Phfat
One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The seafood was simply amazing! So tasty and fresh. The views are also incredible. My favourite entree was the prawns with tarragon butter, the flavours were so good. All dishes I had here were exceptional.
Lucianna Guo
This is the third time I’m here.. having my bday lunch with family.. love the food and the view. Love the crab and oysters. I was quite suprised by the whipped cheese cake! It was so delicious~ the flathead and the chips was bit tasteless.
Julz
Really enjoyed my time here today. The snapper pie is delightful! We came here specifically for this fish through word of mouth. One serving is quite large so next time I'd probably share one between two people and order more starters. Spent about 2 hours here, and even at 2pm on a Saturday the place was quite packed! Beautiful views and great company. This is an awesome place for special occasions.
Connoisseurc
Highly recommended for a special occasion. Modern and romantic ambience especially around the front windows.<br/><br/>The food is good but not excellent. On this occasion (July 2017) I had the mud crab along with a calamari starter. The flavours were very good on the mud crab, although the eating experience could have been better if the shells were cracked more prior to serving, e.g. as they do in Chinatown. The calamari was seared well, but for a few pieces at a price point in the mid 20s it was a bit steep.<br/><br/>On a previous occasion, I had the signature snapper pie. It's more carb/fat heavy as opposed to protein/fish heavy. I would recommend ordering an entree each and then dividing between two, otherwise it will be too much/heavy.<br/><br/>The wine list is decent, but a significant mark up (at least three times).<br/><br/>Overall best suited for a special occasion/date.

My friends and I ordered 4 types of oysters (Clair de lune, port stephens pacific, moonlight and oakley island), the grilled scampi, snapper pie and chargrilled swordfish with the hand-cut chips as a side. Between the three of us, this was the perfect amount of food.<br/>The oysters were exceptional in the sense that they were incredibly fresh and flavoursome. However, out of the 4 that we ordered, the clair de lune was my favourite. Even though it was small, it had a nice creamy texture, leaving me craving for more. The scampi, on the other hand, was underwhelming. I felt that the seasoning of the dish overpowered the natural flavour of the scampi itself. But that is because I usually prefer the simple salt & pepper with lemon combo.<br/>Going onto the mains, it was the chargrilled swordfish that stole the show. The fish was cooked to perfection. The flavouring of the fish was simple but it complemented the dish perfectly with a subtle hint of chargrilled which enhanced it even further. I would return for this fish.<br/>The snapper pie was highly recommended from many friends who have tried it before, so naturally we had to order it. The filling of the pie had a nice creamy consistency that went perfectly with the pastry. But after a couple of bites, it became quite sickening.<br/><br/>Overall, the food was good and the view was spectacular, but I did not have the best dining experience here. The downfall of my whole experience here was definitely the service. The waitors/waitresses were not very attentive and their attitude ruined the atmosphere of the restaurant.<br/>
Anna Crabtree
Good Cocktails but limited choice of just 4. Good wine list, with interesting range choice. All dishes very well done, really enjoyed the king prawns as entree. Recommend the Clair de lune oysters, small and creamy. A good price overall for this type of restaurant and lovely views to go with your meal.

Overview:<br/>Went for dinner on a Saturday night with a group of 5. Amazing seafood restaurant, with great views of Pyrmont, would recommend to anyone.<br/><br/>Food: <br/>Started off with the Oysters and these are some of the best I've had, super fresh and very clean. Main course you need to try the signature dish, Snapper Pie - served with a sweet tomato and mash potato. Aside from the amazing pastry the highlight is how well the snapper fillet tastes in the dish. You know it's snapper, the smell is appetising and it's incredibly succulent (a note on the portion size is that it's very filling & you can share this meal. I advise you eat a light/fresh entree for the palate to make this main for digestible) Another highlight on the table was the Chilli Black Bean Spanner Crab. Market price and the smell coming from this plate was extraordinary. <br/><br/>Service/Staff:<br/>Knowledgeable, friendly and attentive throughout the dinner. Only negative was that our waitress appeared to oversee too many tables and thus did not check on our meal progress after it was served. <br/><br/>Ambience:<br/>Fine dining yet the scenic outlook gives the whole restaurant a casual feel - something which is rare so close to the city. <br/><br/>Final thoughts:<br/>A must-try restaurant for a group booking or romantic dinner. Delicious & fresh food at a fair price for a fine dining establishment.
Nicole Hu
The staff aren't the most attentive and they did rush us a couple of times to place the order so they can close the restaurant. The oysters were fresh but not amazing or anything. The entree i tried was the kingfish sashimi. Done very well. Perfectly balanced sauces and the kingfish was nice and fresh. Definitely the highlight of the evening and a nice surprise was the snapper pot pie. That was absolutely heavenly. We all agreed it was the best dish of the evening and worth the trip. This is a must try and you can easily share the pie with somebody else, although you may not want to because it's that good! And I don't say something is good that easily.

This is one of those places I'd call a hidden gem, as it's not the easiest to get to without a car, and the building itself is rather nondescript, with the entrance being off to the side and not very obvious and once inside, the views from this restaurant is absolutely breathtaking.<br/><br/>I had lunch here on a Friday, and although the place wasn't full, it was certainly very busy still, with most tables occupied by large groups (we were one of only two tables occupied by two people only). We ordered a dozen oysters, the kingfish sashimi, roast prawns, snapper pie, and a side of chips.<br/><br/>Our oyster platter consisted of six different types of oysters, chosen on recommendation of our waiter (but I forgot which ones he picked out for us). They were very fresh and delicious though, especially with the vinaigrette, although they do cut their lemon in a large round slice rather than wedges, which makes it a little messy and hard to squeeze onto the oysters properly.<br/><br/>The kingfish sashimi was good, very fresh, and prepared well, but I didn't taste much of the ponzu, although the dollop of sauce on the side was delicious with the kingfish. I thought it could have done without the puffed rice, or perhaps it could have been substituted with something else, as it didn't do much to add to the flavours, all it did was provide a rather bland but crunchy texture to the dish.<br/><br/>I loved the roasted prawns more than the kingfish sashimi, as the prawns were cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The butter sauce complimented the prawns perfectly, without being too heavy or too bland and runny, and there was a nice little hint of a roasted taste.<br/><br/>The side of chips with aioli was definitely hand cut, and although a lot thicker than any chips I've ever had, it was delicious, and not at all oily nor greasy. It didn't feel heavy in my stomach, and the potato itself was soft and cooked well inside. They leave the skins on also, which I love.<br/><br/>The dish that I had come for, however, was the snapper pie, as I read so many good reviews on it, and the Boathouse website itself calls it their "famous snapper pie", and they "wouldn't dare take it off" the menu. The presentation of the pie is quite exciting, as the waiter brings it out on a little trolley and dishes it out onto a plate for you, and you sit in anticipation, smelling the wonderful aromas coming from the hot pie.<br/><br/>The pie is served on a plate with mashed potato and a smoked tomato half. The mash potato was quite smooth, but not very creamy, it was a little on the dry side if anything, but not terribly. The smoked tomato was okay, you can definitely taste the smokiness, but I didn't like the texture of the tomato skin. The snapper pie itself was just beautiful. The puff pastry on top was light, crispy, crunchy on top and fluffy in the underneath layers. The filling was plentiful, and the flavours really brought out the mild sweetness and freshness of the snapper itself. The snapper is a whole fillet, so you will definitely see it, and you can taste the firm flakes of it's flesh distinctively.<br/><br/>The service here was good, although my friend wanted sparkling water but they served us still water, and we had to sit around for a while waiting for a waiter to notice us so we could get the water changed. The water mix up wasn't too big an issue for me though, but throughout our meal, and once we were done, I noticed it was a little hard to catch the attention of any waiters when we required it.<br/><br/>We paid $180 for our meal, so it is on the pricer end of things for a lunch, but the food tastes quite good overall, and it's definitely very fresh. The view is also very spectacular, and it's really a sight to behold while enjoying your meal.<br/><br/>TIP: when truffles are in season, they can add shaved truffles to any dish on the menu except the snapper pie, but they do a separate truffle pie (which isn't on the menu) instead.

My wife and son organized my birthday dinner at Boat house last night but it was really disappointed. We started with a bottle of Champagne ($160) and Fresh oyster (3doz) which was really good and we all loved. Then ordered nice Californian Chardonnay ($250) with 3 entrees and 2 main courses to share. <br/><br/>We expect quality of seafood dishes but nothing special at all. Especially their signature menu "Snapper pie" was extremely disappointed. It should be very hot and nicely served individually by waiter at table. However, the Maitre D just cut pie pastry only left them without serving us. Snapper pie was also not hot at all and taste not same as what we had before. We all really disappointed and decided to finish our dinner without having any dessert. It was approx $800 dinner for 3 of us..... but not worth for money at all.

This is a great place to visit for a special occasion. The entrance was a bit hard to find ahahaha (push the door and go up the stairs) but the staff were very friendly and professional. The service was a bit slow but it is a busy restaurant and we were happy to take in the night time views of the Sydney skyline and the reflections twinkling in the water.<br/><br/>For starters, the king prawns were really fresh and delicious especially that sauce. The snapper pie was the highlight of the mains which can also be shared between two. The pastry was so flakey and was perfect with the fish and the sauce. So good!! I really liked the soft warm banana soufflé which was really good combined with the cold dense peanut butter icecream. The whipped cheesecake was also very nice.
Leon
The Boathouse lives to its name as one of the best food institutions in Sydney. Sitting next to the magnificent Blackwattle Bay, I tasted the best grilled king prawns in the city. The fish snapper pie was delectable and flavoursome. The banana soufflé was also fantastic.
Suburb Review
Went to this place a few years ago when it wasnt too mainstream & it was very memorable! Location was perfect.. abit hard to find because it is waterfront. The oysters was the BEST ive ever had, the snapper pie was delicious and the signature dish & the dessert was also scrumptious. 🤗 would return one day.
Jmanchatty
Pretty good resto although on the expensive side<br/><br/>The oyster were very fresh although on the salty side. Loved the creamy one (forogt the name!) A bit on the small side though<br/><br/>The snapper pie is the best imo and you definately need to get it. The puff top is very tasty, crunchy and really absorbs the soup flavour well. A hint of truffle in the soup<br/><br/>Starters were ok, nothing special but not bad. The octopus legs was vry tender and best starter imo<br/><br/>The main dish fish was amazing too, love the barra swordfish and bass. The meat was surprisingly juicy and almost melts in your mouth<br/><br/>Banana souffle for dessert is the way to go, very delicious<br/><br/>Staff amazing, too service<br/><br/>Recommend definately for a night out

Can't believe it took me so long to get to The Boathouse, now I can't wait to go back!! <br/><br/>The service - 10/10<br/>The location - 10/10<br/>The food - 9/10 <br/>The Oysters - 10/10 <br/>The price - 8/10<br/>

I had the pleasure of enjoying a late lunch with colleagues at The Boathouse on Sunday afternoon. From my experience, I can say that its high overall rating is well-deserved.<br/><br/>The service was outstanding for the duration of our patronage. After having arrived at 2:15pm and having just taken our seats, the friendly waitress informed us that a table close to the water had opened up. Score! Throughout our meal, the waiting staff were prompt, polite, and ensured that our glasses of wine were never empty. Even though we stayed quite long after our meal (until around 5:30, when the staff were in a lull before the evening service), they were very happy to accommodate our presence. Truly exemplary.<br/><br/>The atmosphere, too, was excellent, and it was delightful to overlook Blackwattle Bay on the warm, clear summer's afternoon.<br/><br/>Ultimately, however, it is the food that makes or breaks a dining experience, and there was not a single meal to fault. My wagyu tartare entree was among the best I've ever had (the tartare I had earlier in the week at Prime was probably ever so slightly better), and simply melted in my mouth. Though not an oyster fan myself, one of my colleagues who is a prolific eater of oysters vouched for the quality of those served at The Boathouse.<br/><br/>My main course, the barramundi, was an exemplar for how such fish should be served - the skin was crispy and flavoursome, the fish itself was extremely fresh, and the carrot, hazelnut, and roast chicken juice accompaniment (reminiscent of how some pork bellys I've had in the past have been served) worked perfectly. I was also fortunate enough to try some of my colleagues' snapper pie - The Boathouse's signature dish. The pastry is crispy and buttery, and serves as a perfect foundation for the creamy filling. You would struggle to find a nicer fish pie anywhere, and if you are at all doubtful about the whole notion of a 'fish pie', The Boathouse will happily make your scepticism vanish.<br/><br/>The sheep's milk pannacotta (accompanied with watermelon, blueberry and ginger) is the perfect summer dessert; creamy, crisp and not overpoweringly sweet. Despite being excellent, however, it was my colleague's banana soufflé (a dessert very much atypical of a warm summer's afternoon) that stole the dessert show. It was just outstanding - one of the lightest, fluffiest desserts I have ever had the pleasure to try.<br/><br/>Overall, though pricy, The Boathouse executes the seafood dining experience perfectly, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The boathouse is a different type of dining experience. It is more relaxed and has a wonderful atmosphere. The snapper pie is definitely a stand out. The caviar and oysters also really good. It is also well priced.
Tastingthecloud
Absolutely stunning place for a romantic dinner. It's a bit pricy but every bit of the food here hinted my palate and so fresh and yummy. <br/><br/>A good time for the dinner nowadays is around 7. You see the amazing sunset down to the bay, and the Sydney put light on gradually. With good seafood, it really light my night.<br/><br/>Snapper pie here is the signature dish, and can be share among two. Nearly every table ordered that and it was the best seafood pie I had. Not fishy at all and with this seafood sweetness. <br/><br/>The banana shuffle is another must order dish. Baked inhouse and taste like cloud. <br/><br/>Service is very attentive too:

Friend recommended Boathouse for our friends gathering dinner. While walking towards the restaurant, we had a great view of the bay and bridges close by. The view inside the restaurant was great too. To avoid disappointment, make your booking in advance.<br/>Open kitchen made you seeing clearly of the cooking procedures. Simply but elegant decorations with good service.<br/>#daily special-salt and pepper school prawn, simply fried to crispy and eat with shell on and dip with mayo. The prawns were so fresh that you can actually taste the sweetness of the meat, seasoned very well! <br/>#oyster platter-so many different kinds of oysters that you can choose from. We just decided try the smallest ones and biggest among them. They were very fresh as I expected, with meaty, freshness and taste of sea~<br/>#spinner crab- cooked with ink linguine. This dish was a little disappointing, the pasta were stick together and taste quite hard. Nothing too special about the sauce either. <br/>#slow cooked octopus-I am not a big fan of octopus but the tentacles were really tender.<br/>#roasted fish with asparagus and buttermilk-very simple dish but with great flavor. The fillet was cooked so perfect with crunchy parts and extremely tender and juicy meat! I wish I could cook fish like that...<br/>#ocean trout roe- served with potato blinis, wasabi and creme fraiche. This dish surprised us so much! Such simply combination but brings out the best part of the dish roe! The potato blinis was warm, soft and fluffy. Just put some creme fraiche, tiny bit of wasabi, drizzle few drops of lemon juice and top with ocean trout roe, that's it! And remember to finish in one bite, you gonna addict to it, no kidding!<br/>#fish pie-served with smoked tomato and mash potato. The pie itself was quite big! Flaky and buttery pie pastry tasted so good, especially after soaking them into the pie sauce! The fish inside was still tender, such a heart warming dish with great flavor! <br/>Unfortunately, we didn't have any room for dessert, I would love to go back and enjoy the seafood and maybe next time, I will have the famous banana soufflé!

What a spectacular location, offering a different perspective and view of Sydney and the harbor from the west, which was a refreshing change to the standard postcard view from the east.<br/><br/>Oysters were the star, and an amazing way to start... the snapper pie with smoke tomato and mashed potato came in a very close second.<br/><br/>Excellent service... wine suggestions were spot on also.

Fresh menu everyday. Never disappointed! Good view of Anzac bridge. Do booking before get in. Can appreciate the scene of stunning sunset.
Eating Out Sydney
Oysters are their obsession at this hidden gem. With views across Black Wattle Bay it's the perfect location for a romantic dinner before daylight savings ends. Best and most extensive oyster menu we've ever come across in Sydney! Make sure you book ahead, this is one of Sydney's finest seafood restaurants.

Delicious and beautiful restaurant. Fish pie highlight of the night. Dessert selection could be improved and a bit more innovative. But really nice ambience.
Laura Friend
Stunning location overlooking the water with floor to ceiling glass you can't help but get mesmerised by the city skyline.<br/><br/>The service was excellent, really helpful and down to earth staff with great recommendations on the extensive oyster menu.<br/><br/>I'd recommend the fish pie - it's their signature dish and is incredible!<br/><br/>Perfect place to impress, great food, great service and great view

On a recent very short visit to Sydney a friend took me to this restaurant for dinner. The location is fabulous, the sashimi, snapper pie, sides and soufflé utterly delicious, but unfortunately the service was pretentious and uncomfortable.  The bored, peeved more mature waitperson was pathetic.  He was obviously not happy about something, which I suspect related to my ordering an entrée instead of a main because having just stepped off a plane I wasn't at all  hungry.  We weren't taking up space as the restaurant was only half full, so he was just being obnoxious. I was made to feel embarrassed for not eating just for the sake of it. He also ignored us as we walked out.<br/><br/>Would I recommend this restaurant? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Sydney is a fabulous city full of fabulous restaurants so go for good food AND good service, and don't settle for anything less.

So love this place, not just for the nostalgia. Pimms and jumping bean cocktails on arrival, courtesy of the house - they somehow remember it was our 5th anniversary.<br/><br/>Sashimi tuna entree was absolutely sublime. Perfect contrasting flavours and textures, presented with pretty pink flowers and micro leaves. But the chilli black bean mud crab was another level. Large, meaty claws, perfectly cooked with snow peas and shallots. Sauce dunkworthy, with the house baked soy & linseed bread. That's a meal in itself!<br/><br/>Brie de nangis followed, with fruit bread the equal of the former bread. Perfect. Then affigato to finish, with delightfully gooey caramel and poppy seed petit fours. So good.<br/><br/>Ably washed down with a Sonoma Stonestreet 2012 Chardonnay. Really quite delightful.<br/><br/>Always a pleasure.

The Boathouse has been a favourite for a very long time for a reason.I remember getting addicted to oysters here,they opened my eyes to their subtle differences,and they haven't changed.Let your waiter choose a selection for you and become an oyster connoisseur for the afternoon with a nice glass of wine or two and look out at the beautiful view.Heaven

Once a year on my birthday I get taken to somewhere nice for dinner. This year it was the boathouse at Blackwattle Bay, across the water from the fish markets. I'd always passed this restaurant when I was training for dragon boat races but had never actually eaten here. We made a booking way in advance and so probably got one of the best seats in the house - right up next to the floor to ceiling glass windows. We decided to eat early so we can relax with some wine and enjoy the views of the bay whilst it was still light.

My boyfriend and I decided to eat here for Valentine's Day. The service was great and quality of the seafood was top notch. Tuna tartare, must get for entree!! The grilled prawns still had that grilled prawn smell to it, it was so sweet and the size of them were huge. We tried 3 diff types of oysters, the pacific ones were the best of the 3. Barramundi was super juicy and melted in your mouth, cooked very very well. My boyfriend ordered the Wagyu, it was still very pink which was perfect and the portions of the handcut chips was very generous. We were too full by the end and didn't have space for desserts and the staff was really nice and gave us complementary lemon meringue. This is a perfect place for a romantic dinner with your loved one, nice view (ask for a table near the window!)

Had a lovely time here. Their range of oysters were delicious and fresh. Wasnt too sure about the snapper pie but ordered it out of curiosity. Very glad I did, easily the best pie I've ever tasted! Big, generous serving as well. The souffle I had for dessert was light and airy. If you're thinking about coming here, definitely try the pie it's amazing.

Corrugated iron and wood, native plants (where’s that blackwattle?), stark blue skies and water – you couldn’t get much more Sydney than this (Oi, Oi, Oi!). The stunning water view, framed with large rows of windows all-round, keeps the punters coming back. Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay is a favourite for corporate lunches and evening romantic dinners – it’s a safe bet, how could you go wrong with those views?
Review In Five
Great effortless service. Great views and easy parking. Food that's not too tricked up. Helpful, friendly service. Fish pie is easily the most popular at lunch today.
Oladrel
Amazing yellowfin tuna for a starter, and snapper pie is just a must<br/><br/>Nice views of the bay and anzac bridge<br/><br/>Bit pricey though, but really delicious
Lyle
Had a great dinner here. Had the Mahi Mahi with a side of hand-cut chips and aeoli. Dessert was the whipped cheesecake. Everything was delicious. I can also highly recommend the Cleopatra and Espresso Martini. The view alone is exceptional.
Erika-Anne
Are u looking for fresh and creamy Oyster? Here is the perfect place to go.<br/>I went to Boathouse with my friend, for catching up! I do love the ambience, very crassy and fancy place. <br/><br/>You can enjoy the really nice view of Anzac Bridge from the restaurant. Defs recommend you to make a reservation to serve the good seat. <br/>I do love the music, so relaxing.<br/><br/>We had all of the Oyster they had. Very creamy and rich,fresh and match with wine!!! If you're hard to decide what you have (because they have many choises!!) just ask the staff! They're very helpful.<br/><br/>And also had Wagyu (cooked medium) as a mein. It was so tasty,juicy and tender. I do love it.<br/><br/>Then we had soufflé and mandarin sorbet as dessert. They were awesome. That's not so heavy even we had a lot and feel full. Defs you should dessert as well.<br/><br/>I'd love to come back!!!<br/><br/><br/>

Generally a wonderful experience- have been there many times over the years, but I must say on the most recent visit, in terms of service we were over serviced in the first instance and virtually ignored for the bulk of the time.
KAYEATS
Such a lovely restaurant sitting over the water, great view, great atmosphere. Had a very enjoyable lunch celebrating my partners birthday. The food was amazing and they are one of the restaurants I have been to with excellent service. For Entrees we had Sashimi of Saikou salmon, tiger prawns and oysters. For mains we ordered wagyu flank steak and the grilled groper which were both cooked to perfection. Would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.
Laura B
Understated excellence! Had a very enjoyable evening being looked after by perfectly attentive staff. The menu consists of an incredible oyster selection, caviar, a substantial fish selection plus the sides and desserts. The wine list comes with half and full bottle options. Lovely ambiance and stunning location.
Matty T
Hand-down my favourite restaurant in Sydney. My fiance organised my surprise 30th here. Great oyster selection, the best snapper pie in the world and the most incredible deserts. Sensational wine list too!
Kai Luv
Spoil yourself. If I am dining out for a special occasion, the Boathouse will always be near the top of the list. It has such a beautiful setting, sitting over the water, and the service is always just right - attentive and friendly but not in your face. Predictably, I am one of those people that orders the famous snapper pie. It really is to die for.
FoodsterAu
I really enjoyed my visit here. We came for our anniversary and the service and manners here was spot on. Always with a smile, that’s what I like. The view as the sun was setting made the surroundings looked magical.. despite the fact I work around here and see this view every day. The area isn’t too bad for parking with lots of side streets nearby. The highlight for me was their Snapper Pie with Smoked Tomato and Mashed Potato… which takes twenty five minutes but well worth the wait. The pricing is considered high end at around $100 per head if you’re planning to do a three course meal with drinks. For that price there are a lot more better deals out there with better quality food but nonetheless a great place to dine at if you’re not on a budget

Visit Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay for views across the Bay to the Anzac Bridge and Sydney Fish Market and make sure you get the signature Snapper Pie!
Shane_g_a
Did I pay that much?. I am happy to pay for an experience. Having waiters forget to fill all wines glasses, be served a $50 snapper pie with less fish than my entree, and beg for a glass of wine to be refilled, I had to remind myself I am in a tourist restaraunt paying for a view.
Missfoodie
Had high expectations. Ordered the snapper pie, was nice and tasty but very expensive nearly $50 for one snapper fillet under all the pastry. Mums dish was fish with peas and fennel. Just very underwhelming. No amazing flavours. Banana soufflé way too sweet, someone should look into that. Meh, wouldn't come back. Better fine dining experiences out there.
Eat Drink Play
So good was the snapper pie that I returned on Saturday with two of my girlfriends treating one of them to a belated birthday celebration. We started with a dozen mixed oysters, including Moonlight Flat Angasi, Merimbula Lake Rock and Rusty Wire Rock. I left it up to the waitress to order paying little attention to the menu. I just wish I’d seen Coffin Bay on the menu as these are definitely my favourite type of oyster. A bottle of Cannibal Creek Chardonnay Gippsland Vic 2006 was perfect for a sunny lunch and a nice match with the oysters. There are a number of delicious sounding dishes on the menu and one day I intend to try something else but you can’t go past the snapper pie. So we ordered one each.
Postcards From Peta
The Boathouse has an international reputation for serving the finest Australian seafood and Sydney’s best array of oysters, always freshly shucked to order. Located in an historic, converted boathouse on Sydney Harbour’s Blackwattle Bay, the Restaurant and Bar offer magical, panoramic views, day and night, across the water to the Anzac Bridge and the Sydney Fish Market. Peta’s favourite dish: Scallops with pancetta and creamed corn and  Seared Narooma Yellowfin Tuna Green Beans, Squid, Quail Egg & Black Olive  Peta’s favourite dessert:  Buttermilk Pannacotta Watermelon Granita, Strawberries, Rosewater Cream   "Beautiful location, fantastic food. Service was exceptional. I loved all the colours of each dish. My first time trying quail eggs and now they are my new favourite egg!"

We thoroughly enjoyed the night however The Boathouse did not meet up to our expectations.

Food, food oh glorious food!<br/><br/>Although I love dining at new places there is a lovely sense of comfort and reassurance when returning to a favoured restaurant.<br/><br/>Birthday dinner number 2 celebrated with my family at The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay.<br/><br/>If you go to the boathouse there are two things you MUST try – their famous Snapper Pie and some (or all) of their vast selection of Oysters.<br/><br/>This is not a restaurant review, more an appreciation of food post – Enjoy!
Simplicity By Sarah
The interior is gorgeous and simple with a spectacular view.<br/>You are surrounded with water and at night time all the city lights glisten on the water, just as the moon does.
Confessions Of A Glutton
The floor-to-ceiling windows let in a generous amount of natural light and the gorgeous view across Blackwattle Bay. The interior is interestingly designed, with modern artwork, wooden floorboards and old streetlamps and speakers to add ambience. A fence of chicken wire runs around the inner edge of the windows, and it feels almost as though you're dining right on a wharf.

This spontaneous trip to Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay was definitely a beautiful way to celebrate! This well appointed restaurant and the weather that came with the day was a true reflection of the pleasant surprise and happiness brought about by the end of my first semester, reminding me that I had made it through a very hard and stressful three months! It gave me a chance to finally start enjoying and relaxing in the time spent with my family… which we always ensure comes with good food!

The Boathouse is located in Glebe, right on the water’s edge. The location is superb and the view from the restaurant is breath-taking, with panoramic views spanning the Anzac bridge, fish markets and the Sydney sky line. The fascade from Ferry street doesn’t reveal anything of what to expect inside. From the outside the restaurant clearly resembles its boat house heritage and there are literally no hints that it’s been converted to one of the best and well known restaurants in Sydney. The interior is classic, elegant and modern...
Mademoiselle Mange A Sydney
Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay has been existing for 17 years, and is the perfect place to celebrate a birthday. I’m turning a year older, and hopefully wisdom will catch up. It’s hard to surprise the foodie that I am, but Monsieur always produces miracles Despite the fact that I’m clearly underdressed for the occasion, we get the table that I was hoping for: The one in the corner with the mesmerising...
Petit Fours
<br/>Boathouse is one the lesser known waterfront restaurants but in itself provides unique nuances enough to be an exceptional experience. Whilst not particularly progressive (more classical and traditional cooking than anything else), and not particularly cheap for that matter, and slightly off acid balances, Boathouse at Blackwattle Bay pull all the stops here when it comes to impressing.

Sailboats are gently rocking in the water to the sound of lapping waves. There are breathtaking waterviews too.

...for my 23rd birthday Bill spoiled me and he took us out to dinner at The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay (End of Ferry Road, Glebe). A converted boathouse, it's a little hard to find and very hard to find parking in small residential streets but we saw some people arriving in style via water taxi which dropped them right outside. Our reservation at 6pm was absolute perfection as The Boathouse has a panoramic view of the Anzac Bridge and the city skyline which was stunning as day tr

Isn't that a glorious sight? For my 22nd birthday earlier this year, my endearing significant other took me to dine at The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay , Glebe. We arrived just as they opened for dinner service so we could take advantage of the beautiful sunlight as it streamed in from the glass panels. It was so lovely to be seated in the corner facing the CBD and Sydney Fish Markets overlooking the rowers on Blackwattle Bay; it kind of felt as if we were dining on the water :) Slippery, slimy, creamy, sea-salty.. it's raw, crude, and has a visceral sensation, oh how I love freshly shucked oysters. Although I was tempted to order
Simon Leong
To be honest, it's an expensive restaurant and oysters cost more than $4 each but there's nothing quite like a freshly shucked oyster to appreciate its pure taste. To start, 3 types of oysters were provided including Claire De Lune ($4.20 each), Wonboyn R
Belly Rumbles
The Boathouse isn’t a cheap eat, or middle of the road eat for that matter, but is perfect for special occasions or to take people from out of town. If you love oysters and expertly plated and prepared seafood, you will love The Boathouse.
Laura Brown
the service was fantastic, the waiters were attentive and everyone throughly enjoyed themselves. i couldn’t have asked for a better birthday lunch with my family.

Very nice!. I've been wanting to try this pace for a few years now. Finally went there a couple of weeks ago. Large oyster selection. The view is beautiful. The way they serve the snapper pie is impressive. The food was lovely.
Kerri.parnell
Bland and tasteless. While the snapper pie is a fine dish, I've had two fish main courses here and they're simply bland. Not even salt.<br/>Overpriced.<br/>Go for the view, not the food.<br/>I'm not an oyster person, but maybe it's worth visiting for them too.
Js Foodprint
Snapper pie is worth a try.. The snapper pie is great. The oyster is good. The others are below average. Don't order the chips, it is the worse. The price is a bit expensive, but nice view.
Andrewjsmith99
Terrible Service, Bland Food and way too expensive for what it is. Had lunch here on Sunday and whilst the place was relatively full it did not warrant the lack of customer service. The oyster selection was good and our waitress did provide some helpful advice on the menu and selection of wines. The chefs main recommendation grilled fish at $40 was ordinary and the snapper pie was bland to say the least. Whilst the shared dessert was good and the short black acceptable the overall experience was disappointing. As we left the building not a staff member to be seen to say thanks or see you again. You wont!
Wsonyawill
Bland at the boat house. The food (including the so called signature dish was bland, if you didn't have the pie,<br/>The rest of the dishes tasted were they tried too hard, killing the main item.I had read the<br/>Other reviews on this place, thinking that they were prejudiced by another restaurant or<br/>Such, but they were not, it was as bad as they said. View of the concrete yard inspiring.
Luna.lu
Average food, bad customer service, expensive bill, not worth the money. We heard a lot of great reviews about this restaurant and its seafood. So yesterday, my mom and I decided to give it a try to see if it lives up to its reputation. Man, what a disappointment!<br/><br/>We went for lunch and from the get go, I felt the owner / the owner's son are not very interested in customer service. They didn't welcome us at all when we stepped in, no hello, no smile, nothing, just looked at us like we shouldn't be at their territory. We were given a window table which we asked when booking. The water and wine came pretty quick, no drama at all. Entries were quick too and quiet tasty but nothing over the top or we hadn't tried before in other restaurants. It took at least 30 minutes for us to get our mains. We didn't order the famous fish pie as we didn't think it would worth $44. We both ordered a fish dish. Both were very blend and ordinary. Very disappointed in the food as we saw so many great reviews marking how tasty and marvelous their seafood were. The view was great thanks to the stunning weather. But I don't think the whole experience worth $190. We didn't order desserts. None of the staff in the restaurant said goodbye to us when we were making the exit, neither did the owner or his son who was sitting right next to the door. Shockingly bad customer service! And the worst part, I don't think they realized how bad it was. The competition in hospitality industry is becoming more and more fierce, and it all comes down to your food and your service. Not sure why so much fuss about this restaurant. Definitely won't come back!

Great View but terrible service and disappointing food. My husband and I came here for our anniversary and were very much looking forward to enjoying the views over a delicious lunch. It was a beautiful day and the view was indeed stunning. However, from the word go service was lackadaisical if not downright non-existent. Our waitress took several visits to the table to bring two menus and two glasses of water, which didn't bode well. The wine took a few more visits then finally we were able to place our order.<br/><br/>We had heard rave reviews about the snapper pie so my husband ordered this and I ordered the Hapuka. On hearing that the pie would take 25 minutes (not at all unreasonable), he ordered some oysters to start with. Half an hour later we were still waiting for them! By this time most of the other diners were on their main courses or desserts - apart from the couple behind us who had arrived some 10 minutes before... and were already enjoying their oysters! We were not impressed. Finally the oysters arrived and were excellent. We obviously assumed that our main courses wouldn't be too far behind (how long does it take to gulp down a few oysters?) However, we waited... and waited... After 45 minutes we asked how much longer we'd have to wait - it was now 3:30 and we'd sat down at 2pm! Either our waitress had forgotten to order our mains or the kitchen had lost our order but in any case, there was no apology. I explained that we were starving and one of the managers came over and offered to give us some bread - hardly appropriate when we'd been sitting there for so long with no service. Finally our food arrived and my fish was lovely but of course I was by now so hungry that I barely tasted it as I wolfed it down. My husband was very disappointed with his snapper pie however, as there was so much truffle oil in there that he couldn't taste the fish. But again he was so hungry that he ate it anyway.<br/><br/>The manager did offer us free dessert and coffee but quite frankly it was too little too late. The final straw was when our bill included an extremely expensive bottle of wine we hadn't even ordered! To be fair the manager immediately rectified this but obviously it was adding insult to injury at this point. The whole experience left a very bitter taste in our mouths, mainly due to the service and general attitude. Our impression is that this restaurant is overrated, overpriced and needs to start treating its customers with more respect. We certainly won't be back any time soon!
Nimmy G
Fantastic. Food, service and the view. There are no words to describe as great a night with such good food and service.
Eric Yap
Excellent food, fantastic view. Truly enjoyed my experience at the Boathouse last night!! <br/><br/>Service was friendly and helpful with their recommendations. I had booked ahead requesting the table with the best view of the city and it sure was great!<br/><br/>The selection of Oysters is varied and alot of fun to sample the varieties, we had the seared scallops and the coral trout for starts which were excellent and the snapper pie (their signature dish) for the main was delicious. <br/><br/>Highly recommend this place especially if you're taking out someone special. Will eat here again.
Mademoiselle_Vii
Great location and service, decent food. Our dinner experience was great! I made a booking prior and put in a special request to have a window seat as it's for a special occasion. I also requested for the words Happy Birthday to be written on the dessert plate. When my boyfriend and I arrived, we were surprised to find we had the corner seat right in front of the window, facing the view! It made us very happy and I was thrilled that they actually paid attention to my special request as so many restaurants do not nowadays, but I had no idea they were going to give us the best seat (in my opinion) in the house! The oysters were great, they had a decent selection. We chose Kingfish for our entree and it was absolutely divine! My boyfriend chose the Snapper as the main and it was quite plain. However, my Mahi Mahi was brilliant. The dessert was average which was quite disappointing. However, the highlight was that they brought out a separate plate with Happy Birthday written on it and 2 small gingerbread/cake. It was freshly made and very yummy! The service was brilliant. We had a young man, thin with light blonde hair serve us. He was humorous, courteous and professional. We would rate this restaurant 7/10.
Bonnieh
Firstly the food is amazing, the snapper pie is completely wonderful and it is definitely not something to be missed. we had the entree of scallops and the ham hock both my boyfriend and I agreed the scallops was definitely amazing and another dish worth trying. <br/><br/>the one thing that ruined the my meal was the attitude of the wait staff there. after being seated and we looked at through the menu, my boyfriend and I thought someone would follow up and ask us but after about 20mins we finally managed to get the attention of someone, upon approaching she quite rudely said "what do you want?" which my boyfriend responded with "would you be able to take our order" and the response she gave shocked me, which was .. "oh I thought you thought you were in a classroom and put your hand up to ask a question"... I thought this was a completely unnecessary and rude comment... nor did I understand why she felt she had to make that comment... it definitely made te dining experience all that much uncomfortable however good that snapper pie was
A L L I S O N I U S
Can't pass up seafood. This is one of my favourite restaurants! I've had a positive experience every time I've dined here. Good service, great seafood and the views are a bonus! I always order the scallops for entree they are perfectly cooked also you can't pass up the snapper pie. Although you might consider popping a mint in your mouth when your done .. Loads of garlic
Sammyvfood
Nice evening. Dined here last week with a seafood lover friend for her birthday and had a wonderful evening. We had a doz oysters to start which my friend thoroughly enjoyed and the bonito and octopus starters were fantastic! We ordered the famous snapper pie and while good, thought it was a little overpriced. Great service to match the nice view of the water.
Melbourne Foodie
26/3/16<br/>We come here every time we visit Sydney- wish we had such a beautiful seafood restaurant here in Melbourne. Just love it, 4 of us enjoyed 3 anazing courses including the famous Snapper Pie which never disappoints <br/><br/>1/4/14 <br/>Great spot. Loved the view, and the Snapper Pie was amazing! Loved it and will return just to have this dish every time we are in Sydney.
