We had lunch here a couple days ago and it was positively lovely. The service was absolutely on point, the food was fresh, and the sunny day made the view absolutely spectacular. We ordered the sashimi plate, mussels, and scallops. The presentation on all of them was great and everything had great flavor. I would recommend this place fresh seafood overlooking the harbor!

Fabulous views and great tasting food couldn't quite lift the poor service. We had a balcony table (as requested when we made reservation) but then waited ages for 4 tiny bits of bread as pre-starter. Luke-warm starter arrived, dropped cutlery stayed on floor, wine was poured when waiter remembered. No upselling to 2nd bottle. No upselling of aperitif cocktail. Waited over 20 mins for mains plates to be cleared after having been seen & noted by at least 3 other waiting staff. No coffee upsold. The food & wine were lovely, the ambience and views brilliant but service could have lifted this to 5 star.

Awesome food and great staff! Would definitely be back here again. Food ordered: Oysters: promo @ $40/dozen and it’s so good we had to order 2! Crispy squid: so gooood, made to perfection! Fish & chips: well battered and yet so tasty! Duck breast: simple but yet so tasty

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We tried the $39 menu at Harbourside and were blown away. The sourdough starter came out warm, perfectly chewy, and the nutty brown butter it was served with was just divine. The green-lipped mussels were fresh, plump, and sitting in the most beautiful sauce that I couldn’t get enough of. The steak was cooked beautifully, and the jus with its rich sauce took it to another level. Sides were also standouts… crisp broccolini for freshness, the cheesiest, yummiest mac & cheese, and honestly the best fries I’ve had in the city. On top of the food, the service was outstanding… attentive, warm, and genuine. The lovely girl who looked after us made the experience even better, and it’s rare to find that kind of service in the city. Highly recommend!

"sir , would you like to have dessert? " "Actually, if I have room for dessert, I'd rather use that space for more oysters". They were that good. I had 3 dozen all by myself. They were by far the best I've ever had. The prawns. Ufff. I was ravenous. Excellent fresh seafood and great service. They will leave a lasting impression upon my tummy and my soul for if gluttony is a sin I am guilty.

This was an experience we can't fault. My partner couldn't stop praising the scallops and how amazing they were, steak was cooked to perfection, champagne was the perfect beverage to wash done our meals. Phenomenal service from absolutely everyone. We will definitely revisit in the future.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The front of house lady was very welcoming and warm and found a table for us outside where the ferries come in to play. I had been craving mussels and was satisfied with my entree sized bowl of large mussels in a creamy sauce. The sauce was very salty but the mussels were joyous. My partner had the scallops with a cauliflower puree. They were nice but three scallops does not make a meal however nice. I gave her some bread to give her something to eat. Both meals were tepid in temperature. We shared a side of broccolini which was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed our lunch but the scallops at $35 for three was over the top. And the waiter banged on about cooking fish to perfection and could not even pronounce the fish correctly. I came to eat not to have a poor tutorial on fish preparation. The view is okay although on a more pleasant day may have been better appreciated.

Went here last night for a friend's bday dinner. Place seemed short staffed so the wait was long. Food was well worth waiting for. Waiters were very busy but still took great care of us. I had written in the reservation that it's my friend's bday and would like a bday dessert. Reminded them upon arrival , but when desserts arrived it was still missed out.
