I have been going to Doyles for special occasions for many years. It is one of the best situated restaurants in Sydney, fabulous view, pleasant service and good food. Today I was extremely disappointed with the food - my prawn salad was virtually inedible - the prawns dry and tasteless, and the dressing did not have enough flavour to cover for this. The sourdough cob had been reheated to cover the fact that it was not freshly baked (at least yesterday's baking). My partner's flathead was flavourful, but some of the batter was over-browned. The chips were OK. The staff were pleasant but a bit vague. It took some nudging before our waitperson thought to bring cutlery.....While the prices were not excessive, I really expected more based on my experiences of Doyles food in previous years. The food and service do not match the fabulous site.

Lovely spot, but the ambience is spoiled by a live singer (this is a regular feature). It’s a small space and conversation can’t compete with an amplified performance.

After visiting Doyle's for many years ,i was very disappointed with the service as it has been reduced to that of a local pub or club. The food was quite ordinary and not how i remember it. I found the staff not really engaged with me or my guests. I will think twice before visiting again .

Booking was easy and accurate. Management was co-operative in shuffling to a better possy on the prom, bar staff smart and helpful. Great. But seafood was mostly typical Doyle's deep fried fare, fresh, not cheap. Then, when you've got that landmark location, and a sunny afternoon ...... well.
