    Great food and friendly atmosphere. Tuna crudo was our favorite. We will definitely come back there.

    Top notch seafood, on the more expensive end of spectrum, but absolutely worth it. They have kids menu which is overpriced for what it is

    We loved it! The hospitality, the prices, and the fish of course were excellent! On our first night in Sydney we ventured down to the wharf for a late evening reservation at love.fish. The indoor/outdoor restaurant was located right by the water and next to a number of other restaurants. From the start, the service was spectacular. We were greeted so warmly and offered a table outside, where the majority of the patrons were seated. Given that the night was a little chilly, we asked to sit inside, which was more of an indoor/outdoor space as the doors were mostly opened. Salmon hash cakes were ordered to start and the flavors were so good. The dill really popped! Then, there was fish all around - barramundi, Spanish mackerel, and the miso glazed Tasmanian salmon special. All of the fish was so expertly prepared. Aside from the special, the fish was allowed to shine on its own, without sauces or glazes. The fish isn't served with sides and thankfully the a la carte veggies all sounded really good. We were told that the brussel sprouts were life changing and that people visit the restaurant just to score an order of them. So with that strong endorsement from our waitress, we couldn't pass on them. And the verdict??? Well, they were certainly good but they tasted similar to many other brussel sprouts that we've had. The unique aspect was the caramelized carrot gracing the outer edges of the dish, which was delicious. We decided to skip dessert but before we left we ordered an angus reserve sirloin steak with umami butter to go for our family member who couldn't quite fight the jetlag to join us for dinner. He was underwhelmed by it so maybe the fish, as the name of the place suggests, is the way to go here.

    OMG ... perfection, is all I can say, absolute perfection. Fish was beautifully cooked, vegetables could not have been more perfect. Flavours were subtle yet tantalising, interesting & delicious. I have been here before some years ago but it seems the place has stepped up a gear. Highly recommended. If you enjoy seafood, make this place a must. Yum!

    A glass of Semillon, a bit dry for my taste, but I love the touch of logo on the glass.

    I chose this place for the many fish dishes they offer and the view of the Darling Harbour is a plus. When I looked over the menu I was set in the barramundi fish (native to Australia) but the summer special, whole rainbow trout caught my eye. I was also sold on the pesto potato salad on the side. The place is great for sharing, but dining solo, not so much. This grilled rainbow trout offered a dinner for 1 portion. Actually, it could be shared for two if another dish is ordered, like the well known octopus. The rainbow trout was grilled to perfection and the olive oil sauce that came with it was superb. The potato salad with pesto, was unique flavor combo that I've never tried. I paired my meal with the semillon, a Sauvignon blanc, which I would pass because it was a bit dry for my liking. I cleansed my palate with their signature dessert, banoffee. It's banana pie with caramel & other fixings with it. Splendid!

    Not as good as the previous reviews suggest. First of all the dishes they discussed were not on the menu any longer. Must have been seasonal. The cocktails were way too expensive and really not well crafted. Pretty unimpressed w the two cocktails I ordered I selected three small plates. The fried tiny shrimp and the plantain chips. Neither were memorable. Also had some salmon cakes w peas. And although they set special salt on the table, it's no excuse for not seasoning the food in the kitchen. I would not go back. The view is not worth the high cost and boring food. Spent $90. Not worth the hype.

    Oh these warm toasty drinks...

    Besides having a very catchy name love.fish is a great option amongst many in this area. We were pleasantly greeted by our server. Pretty(her name) was super friendly as we chatted with her all evening. I tried their mulled cider which was a perfect option for a cooler night. Apps cam out quickly and the calamari did not disappoint. Monday atmosphere was relaxed without the weekend hassle. I can see this place being packet on the weekend with the perfect views and good drinks. I had the whole rainbow trout which had a nice char on it. I really wanted to try desert but after the trout and a wonderful side of Brussel sprouts, and two to three drinks, I was done. This is on my Sydney list of favorites.

    Cirrus Dining, located on the waterfront at Barangaroo is one of those venues we've had on our list…read morefor a while now, and we finally made a visit. Cirrus, names after the cloud like apartment that sits above it. We recommend that you all also promptly book in, it is absolutely incredible and certainly deserves all the accolades it has received. Open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week, you can sit inside or alfresco, enjoying views of our breathtaking harbour. A crisp and stylish place with minimal decor, yet it feels classy with its floor to ceiling glass. Chefs coming to you from the the Bentley, Monopole and Yellow restaurants and Chef Brent Savage has put together an array of seafood delights with incredible flavour combinations and the freshest selection of seafood, sustainably caught. Don't fret, if you have a non seafood eater amongst you, there's vegetarian and meat options as well. The waitress informed us that the dishes at Cirrus were designed to be shared. As a party of 6, she recommended 6 entrees, 6 mains and 4 sides. We ordered one less main than her recommendation and we were extremely full. The meats in particular were very generous servings. We also shared 3 desserts. We began with a few oysters, served with a vinaigrette and these were a beautiful start to our dining experience. We shared a number of starters including their famous Ocean trout with smoked beetroot and pepperberry and toast. The smoked beetroot lay atop the ocean trout mixture, almost like a starfish and the texture was simply divine. The small plate of raw Cobia (like a sashimi) with salted apple, turnip and sesame was quite refreshing. We shared two plates of the roasted King Prawns and Koji Butter. These prawns were were beautifully cooked, and a generous lashing of the butter sauce. We also really enjoyed the Fremantle octopus with kohlrabi and green chilli salsa. The octopus was super fresh, tender and nice crisp outer flavour, topped with ribbons of kohlrabi. Given Cirrus is primarily a seafood restaurant, we could go past having a number of fish for our mains. We enjoyed the the Hiramasa kingfish with grilled cucumber, buttermilk and mint. Nice and soft fish with a pleasant sauce. The cone bay barramundi was also lovely and was presented with some beautiful coils of charred onions and watercress. The roasted swordfish was another winner, served with fennel, buckwheat and bottarga. The Grilled black angus rib eye, 500 g was a big serving, and served with kombu butter, a very good comfort food choice. We ordered it medium and it was perfectly cooked to our request. The barbecued lamb neck may not be something you'd expect at a seafood restaurant but for the meat lovers amongst us, it is a brilliant dish. We shared all the sides; chips and aioli, radicchio salad, an absolutely beautiful plate of grilled asparagus with fresh curd and black olive, as well as a lovely serve of zucchini with hazelnut, yoghurt and turmeric. As for the drinks, Sommelier Nick Hildebrandt has also organised a wide selection of wines, 500 from around the world where you can get advice on the best to pair with your food selection. We chose a bottle of Riesling, which was a lovely pairing. All of this amongst 6 diners and including 3 bottles of wine and bread came to $130 each, which is pretty reasonable given the size of the servings and amount of food. If you'd prefer, the tasting menu is available for $110 each for the whole table, though we preferred to order so we could try a greater range of options. We absolutely loved dining at Cirrus and can't recommend it enough!

    Australia is known for their beef and 6 Head is an excellent choice if you are in the mood to…read moresplurge a little. Compared to United States prices, I find them actually quite reasonable for very high quality steaks. The restaurant is nicely decorated; service was great. It is located in the Rock district. The oysters were good but practically all oysters in Australia are good so nothing special here; however, the stars of the show were the steaks. They offered a cut of steak called Platinum Eye of the Rump which I've not had before in US so gave that a try. It's supposed to be Wagyu beef and did not disappoint. At $79 Australian dollars, that translated to about $52 US dollars and I would say you it was well worth it. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and was super tender and beefy. The ribeye was a larger cut and more expensive at $110 Australian dollars or around $73 US dollars. We enjoyed the ribeye as well, but the eye of the rump stood out more. The steaks come with a choice of steak cut fries or salad so we ordered one of each. Both sides were exceptional as well. I ate at another steak restaurant in Australia where the sides were "meh" but I found these well made. Overall, I highly recommend this steak restaurant.

    Had a wonderful birthday meal here…read more First things first, they do book up so definitely make a reservation. Inside has a more formal ambiance we appreciated, but outside - assuming no cruise ship in the way - is probably the way to go for views, as we requested an inside top floor table with a view and didn't get much of one; turns out not many tables inside with a view. Service was mostly good but oddly slow in a few spots, the wine list was on iPad, and our pomme puree (mashed potatoes) came quite late. Steak was very good. MB7+ tomahawk is a terrific presentation, perfectly cooked to your specification, and described in detail. If you want the very highest quality (MB9) unfortunately thay was not on the menu when we visited, but it was surprisingly difficult find higher than MB7 on the regular menu of any of their competitors so I digress... (keyword: regular) Rest of the food was excellent. Little gem salad and chips are included with your tomahawk, the pomme puree was deliciously creamy if you like creamy mashed potatoes, broccolini hit the spot. And the scallops, while modest in appearance, won high praise. As someone who normally has a hard time going out for steak, given I can almost always make a better one at home, I do have to say that for a special occasion, 6HEAD was on the mark.
