Review Taira Japanese Brasserie - Sydney

An overall good place to visit. We had our corporate lunch, food was just ok. It was missing a touch of salt, pepper and spice. It had good options of unlimited drinks but not many options of quality food. Their desert was tasty.

Was very nice during vivid time but avoid the first days too crowded

You can find it all at Cockle Bay Wharf If you’re looking for a a lovely afternoon and evening out, you can’t go past a visit to Sydney’s Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay Wharf. Here you can sip a spritzer at sunset, dine at one of their many venues and enjoy waterfront entertainment such as at Sydney’s first floating cinema, Mov’in Boat. There’s plenty of great dining establishments from Baia the Italian to Blackbird cafe or even a dessert at Lindt Cafe. This iconic dining destination meets all criteria with a range of cuisines well as providing an alfresco experience by the water. For our visit, we ate at Adria Bar and Restaurant, a Mediterranean inspired menu featuring seafood, pastas, meat or salads and plenty of refreshing drinks. We enjoyed lamb souvlaki, fattoush salad and some amazing barramundi, all fresh and healthy, served super efficiently. We loved their range of cocktails and watched the sunset with an Aperol Spritz and Mojito. Such as lovely way to spend the afternoon. We can recommend Cockle Bay Wharf as the perfect pre-theatre dining destination to enjoy a meal before sitting down to a movie at the floating cinema. For something a little different, “Mov’in Boat” is certainly a cool experience. It is essentially a spectacular 1000 sqm floating platform showcasing movies in the open air, with spectators watching from the floating bed, row boat or even their own private boats. Screenings take place from Tuesday’s – Sundays and take your pick of movies; whether it be a romantic comedy, old classic, family or blockbuster on a 4K quality screen. Watch the movie from the comfort of a bed with a big cushions at $99.90 for two people, complete with a bedside table for you to put your food and drinks. You can even take your own yacht in (of course if you’re blessed enough to have your own!) for a fee $49.90 per boat. This is limited to 15 a night. Even a row boat with tailored comfy seats is an option for the film spectating. Hire a row boat for $119.90 (up to four people -2 adults and 2 kids).

This place is gorgeous. There's also a huge, and I mean huuuge outdoor playground for kids and smaller boutiques and food venues in the same location so the older folks can putz around for a while...good luck trying to pry the kids away from that awesome playground lol

Great shopping, entertainment and food. So many choices of cuisine. A food court offers more fast food types of food, while there are also many different options for sit down food. Get your hair, nails done. Or enjoy a sweet treat at the fudge shop. Currently there is a 30+ meter Ferris wheel outside too!

Cockle Bay Wharf is a beautiful spot to meet up and spend time with family and friends. There are lots of restaurants, bars and cafes to sit and eat overlooking the water across to Darling Harbour. The area is popular with both tourists and locals. It has easy access from public transport, as well as a parking stations around it.

Bad experience. I got tinnitus and possibly I could become deaf because the speakers were to close to the public. They should be located in other place far from the public and the sound should be controlled not reaching the maximum amount of decibel permitted

Great place to eat drink and hang out... offers fabulous views of the darling harbour.. lots of pubs and eat outs.. remains busy from early morning all the way till late night. Also is the boarding point for many ship tours...
