Cafe Del Mar - Sydney

Pros: for the most part we had Great food, best beautiful views of the water, friendly servers. I liked the fish with the octopus on it. My partner loved his steak and claimed it was the best he has ever had!! Slow cooked lamb is large portion, tasty, melts in your mouth, sooooo yum, I highly recommend!!!!!! Fries were fresh, great with tasty aioli dip and came in a huge bucket, can easily be shared between two people! After dinner , we enjoyed a drink on the balcony bar with amazing water views (but music was a little too loud). Cons: snapper fish (special of the day) was very chewy/rubbery. Dessert needs improvement , sized too small, and is overpriced ($18) for what u get. The host does not let u pick your seat even when u ask.....not cool....the large sized restaurant was only half full the entire night so they should let u sit where u want (maybe this was because we used a Groupon voucher? Still, not cool)!! Heat lamps on the balcony smelled bad as if it had a small gas leak. Overall, I love this place and would highly recommend! We had a great night and our friends loved this place too. I've been here twice and would return.

A regular place that we went for special occations and had never been let down. Spectacular views of the harbour during vivid sydney and very tentative service. Also like how they changed the menus based on season. My favorites are the lamb shanks and mackerels, served hot, extremely tender and cooked to perfection. Was recommended to try the charcoal carrot as side and what a delight! Also great value if can get their vouchers that sometimes available on Groupon.

Excellent views of Darling Harbour. Drinks were mainly good as well as the friendliness of the staff. Food was to a decent standard, although rather expensive for the amount given; unsurprising as the prime location in the CBD is already a huge selling point.

We used Groupon to eat there and we somehow felt like staff treated "paying" customers differently than "voucher" customers. Food on the other hand was good - beware of the "Pomme frites" which we thought was a small bowl and came out as a mountain of fries ????
