Boasting awe-inspiring views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the iconic sculptural shell of the Sydney Opera House, Waterfront transcends the guest experience offering the finest Harbour front dining position in Sydney. Set in an original colonial 18th century sandstone building in The Rocks precinct, Waterfront exudes the grandeur and charm of the past, which is matched by its elegant and generous seafood menu. A distinctive replica of a square-rigged colonial sailing ship mast adorns the outside paved dining area of the restaurant. Guaranteed to impress guests with its enviable position, the unique nautical decor throughout the three-leveled building is ideal for your next event. Please contact the restaurant on 1300 115 116 for all bookings of 10 people and over

    The location was excellent, but the food was on the pricey side. Still an enjoyable dining experience but don't be shocked by the prices. The food tasted great.

    We really enjoyed the evening. The food was good and the German waiter very helpful and friendly. The views of the harbour and opera house were spectacular.

    We were in Sydney for a "kids free" getaway and wanted something very special. Thank you to the staff at the Waterfront for making our night so special. The seafood platter for 2 was just beautiful. The service was amazing & attentive... thank you

    So disappointed, although we had the seafood platter the and the only disappointment on the plate was the crab, very soggy. When we where asked if we wanted to taste the wine, and said no its OK, the waitress said oh good.

    We celebrated a 40th birthday there on our parents weekend away which was very romantic with a lovely setting. A bonus was fireworks going off over the opera house.

    We had a great experience at waterfront, the view was stunning with an atmosphere to match. The mixed platter for two was reasonably priced and full to the brim, the staff were pleasant and always there to assist and the home made sangria was one of the best I've had! We will definitely go back
