Any seafood fan must come to love.fish! Since we're from Seattle, this restaurant is right up our alley, featuring raw plates and seafood entrées along with various shareables and sides. We came on a Sunday at 1:00P and only had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Most tables are on the covered outdoor patio with just a few others inside the open air setting. We started off with a raw plate to share, followed by individual entrées. + SALMON CEVICHE (A$28): Thin slices of salmon in a bright zesty citrus soy dressing, with dollops of avocado cream and lime aioli. The salmon was so smooth, buttery and super fresh. I rarely eat ceviche since I usually don't care for citrus flavors, but I enjoyed this since the salmon remained the star of the plate. + DAINTREE BARRAMUNDI FILLET GRILLED (A$38): A perfectly sized fillet was delicate, moist and didn't have any bones! The skin was grilled and crisp like a chip. Normally, I'm not a fan of skin on fish, but this was impeccable. A few cauliflower florets in a flavorful chermoula added a bold punch. I also loved the salted barra croquette, a fritter of potato and barramundi, which was fried to a golden brown and light inside. All of this was on top of a fresh mint yogurt which rounded out this very cohesive dish. Others in my group enjoyed the swordfish fillet and the fish of the day, which was a mahi mahi. Our waitress enticed us with two desserts which all of us shared as a sweet ending. + DARK CHOCOLATE PARFAIT (A$18): A rich chocolate pudding layered with Queen Garnet plums and topped with large chocolate shavings. The pudding was creamy and rich while the ripe plums added sweetness with a hint of tartness. + TOASTED COCONUT & MANGO CRUMBLE (A$16): A delightful refreshing coconut sorbet came with juicy cubes of fresh mango on top. Some granola crumbles provided crunch and substance to an otherwise light dessert. I never would have guessed this is both gluten-free and dairy-free. Our server was excellent and took wonderful care of us by checking back and keeping our waters full. We appreciated her recommendations as well. On top of the great service and delicious food, every dish had a lovely presentation and the pricing was reasonable for the quality of each plate. read more

Absolutely delicious! Our last night in Sydney and wanted some fresh barramundi. The dish did not disappoint and one of the best meals I have had in Sydney. You sit right on the Barangaroo Harbour area and it had an epic view. The service was fabulous making for a special dinner. One not to be missed! read more

Circular quay location a little hard to find on Maps but just remember that it faces the water, and you have to walk down just a little bit as it's not situated on a corner. Sydney Rock oysters Micro coriander with cucumber bits, lemon. Creamy more than flavorful and a bit larger than those Japanese varietals. Chargrilled pallidus octopus With roasted chickpea and tahini. Inconsistent texture somehow but a wonderful charred flavor. Grilled Barramundi filet Butternut pumpkin plus basil pearl couscous that is more chewy than flavorful. Fish is super tender and the star of this show. No bones and perfectly charred crunchy skin. Spinach linguine with diced king prawn, swordfish cuts and roasted tomato. Great savory palate with succulent shrimp bits. Wild Kingfish Filet Had a taste here and thought it was on the dry side - much less supple than the barramundi. Great ambience in front of the water and people watching opportunity here - fun vibes. Took a bit to get the check, otherwise, great friendly service. That's all read more

I love love.fish. The barramundi was fresh, skin was crispy. Probably one of the best western style fish I have had. The location, ambiance was fresh. Very out doorsy vibe right on the harbor. The sourdough bread was excellent and well worth the extra charge. Being American, the free sparkle bf water, tax included, and Australian tipping culture ( or lack of) made this fine meal down right cheap. Can't wait to revisit. 5 star experience all around. read more

Great food, good service, awesome location. Would absolutely visit again next time in country.

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 read more

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. read more

Their Valentine's Day deal was $90/pp prepaid, it instead of fixed course, the credit from your prepaid amount goes toward anything on the menu. The service was prompt, informative, and accommodating. In Darling Harbour, it's quite bustling, so it was nice to see the staff working together to cover everything. The food was excellent; while some dish portions were on the smaller side, most were as expected. All were cooked to standard. read more

Delicious meal and superb service. My waitress was from Paris and she was absolutely terrific. So sweet and gave me good local recommendations on things to do and also educated me on tipping culture in Australia when I asked (generally 10%). The food was delicious. The barramundi was perfectly made and seasoned and really tasty. I also had a sourdough roll before which was tasty. Lastly I had a strawberry mango Eton mess for dessert and loved it. Would definitely recommend this spot. read more

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! read more

It was really good food and service! Two thumbs up! Fish quality was outstanding! Servers were friendly and helpful!

Beautiful outdoor dining area on the Wharf. Food was very flavorful and unique combinations of ingredients. My husband had the swordfish which was perfectly cooked. It was served with broccolini and a romesco sauce. I had the scallops. The presentation was lovely with the scallops on a grid of grilled asparagus and a light sauce of diced tomatoes, olive oil and capers. Service is very efficient (but almost rushed). read more

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! read more

Yummmmm. Squid ink pasta? Who knew??? I'm not usually a seafood pasta fan but this was to die. Hubby's meal was kind of basic - fish and chips but you pick the fish? He practically licked his plate clean so it must have been good! read more

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. read more

love.fish - Fried shrimp small plate , plantains chips, salmon cakes - Seafood Near Me - Barangaroo, NSW

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. read more

The meal was definitely above average and the service exemplary. I would recommend as one of the better restaurants in Darling Harbor

Best seafood so far. Had the tuna crudo, prawns and hash cakes. Excellent taste and worth the money.

Outstanding food and presentation. The brussels sprouts are simply incredible! I had the special which was fish pie and my wife had the whole red snapper. The food is terrific! Wonderful seafood! And, it is right on the wharf! read more

This one of those places where your dish doesn't include a side such as salad or chips -- you have to order those separately. That makes for an expensive meal, which unfortunately doesn't live up to the price tag. read more

Came here on the recommendation of a local and got the chowder and it was amazing. So many clams and muscles that we couldn't finish it. Then came back a few nights later with 12 people including executives who enjoyed it too. The appetizers, side dishes (Brussels sprouts were amazing!) and desserts were the big highlights. I could've gone from apps to side dishes to dessert and been happy! read more

Delicious food, excellent service and an amazing setting. A little pricey but worth it.

I was looking forward to a nice lunch out with my husband, but was disappointed with my meal at love.fish. Sardine small plate was under seasoned and nothing on the plate cut through the sardine flavour. The seafood platter was underwhelming. Chips were the highlight. Prawns and Moreton bay bug were nice, but I can buy those from my fish shop. Taramasalata tasted like bilge water. The only redeeming feature was the wine and really nice staff. read more
