Harbour Bar & Kitchen

Absolutely incredible! I got the deal for 2 with the ribs and there was so much food that was absolutely delicious! We got a seat on the balcony looking over the harbour and we were constantly checked up on to make sure all is okay. 100% will go back there again. Simple, easy and delicious

Nice view, perfect meal, polite service. It was amazing dinner with us.

Amazing food and service!!!

We had a lovely meal.

On arrival we were given a great table with a nice view of the harbour.
We ordered one of the skull sharing cocktails and waited around 20 minutes before staff appeared again to order food. The drink finally arrived and we were told there was no dry ice which would have been courteous to have been told before waiting so long for it arrive when the restaurant was not very busy.
We ordered some starters, the prawns and lobster arancini. For mains we both ordered the lamb shanks but after seeing the table next to us order the steak we asked if we could change one of the meals so we could there share. As if had been over 20 minutes and our starters had not arrived we didnt think it would be an issue and the waitress was more than happy to ask for us.
We were advised it was too late as the chef was serving up the lamb which we thought was odd as no starters had come. A few minutes later one lamp and the prawns arrived. Then about 2 minutes later the second lamb and aranchini arrived. There was not enough room on our table for the plates at all so we struggled to eat and didnt understand why all 4 dishes had come at once.
In honesty the food was very underwhelming, The prawns were extremely over cooked and we struggled to peel them and didn't eat the 3 we received as they were very chewy. The arancini was very bland. Just rice cheese, peas and one tiny piece of lobster in the middle.

The mains were again not as expected in a red wine sauce? They arrived in a tomato sauce and were too very tough. The meat didnt fall off the bone and when you managed to get it off the bone you struggled to cut through. It come with a few green beans and some mash which was very basic and no real flavours of anything.

We left most of the food as it was not very enjoyable. We were very excited to try the food and planned to come back to try the sharing platters but after this experience I would not be rushing back unfortunately.

The waiter and waitress were busy with chatting to each other...so my entrees came with my mains..the steak was bloody inside...super dry outside....and lobster roll ...not to mention....I feel like they may have a new chef. Will not go back again.

Lovely food and great service!

Good service great food

Great food and hospitality

Great evening in Darling Harbour with great food and excellent service at HBK. We will be back

Food and ambiance was really great, the view was what made the experience that much more special. However, the price of the platter was defiantly not worth the full price. We were expecting a lot more seafood on the seafood platter than the half a platter of fruit we got.

Very good, had an amazing time with top quality food. Waiters were really friendly.

Great evening! Great food!

Nice venue, very good food and good service. Cannot complain, was great.

I had a good time, It is more than enough that we had two signiture platter with seafood and BBQ. The food is yum and I love their services. I will definitely come back again.

Excellent food, service plus a great view of Darling Harbour.

Food was extra delicious
King prawn entree was due for
Will return on next trip to Sydney
A must

We dined last month. The food was amazing and service was great. Will Definitely come back again.

Had an awesome experience, staff were excellent and extremely accommodating. Amazing food and unbelievable views

What an amazing setting for dinner, overlooking the harbour as the sunset came in. We had the ribs which were so tender, as well as the lamb shank. Get in for Happy Hour before 6!

Our experience at Harbour Bar & Kitchen was most satisfying. Food quality was superb. The seafood platter was large and perfectly cooked. The steak was adequately seasoned and cooked spot on to Medium well. The service was responsive and very helpful. The ambience at this time (6PM) was perfect for us. We prefer places that are quiet and without the usual crowds. The chill out music with the cityscape view was perfect for our last night in town. As a tourist from a developing country this enables us to experience the best of Australian dining without breaking the bank. Will definitely come back.

Lovely restaurant. We took some friends as they recently got engaged, the staff were very friendly and helpful, they allowed for me to put some congratulation banners up and provided a heater in order for us to sit outside and enjoy the gorgeous setting. Food was delicious and faultless too. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious! The location is right on Darling Harbour so there's a lovely view of the city. They had some amazing cocktails and the service was very good. I would definitely go back :)

From start to finish everyone was nothing but amazing! Food came out fast and was delicious, will definitely go back!

Exelant dining experience. We were seating on the balcony and harbour view was magnificent. Food cooked to perfection and combination of pork ribs and chicken wings made my son's night "heavenly combo of my favourite foods" were his words.

Excellent service and food. Beautiful location overlooking darling harbour

We were seated on the balcony area with beautiful views. The platter for four with ribs and sirloin was delicious and huge enough for us.
Happy with the food and service.

Lobster roll was amazing + fresh. Friend had halloumi salad and tried some of it which was also really good! We only ordered mains but they came out within 20 minutes. There was happy hour on and my cocktail was delicious. View from outside was amazing so I’d definitely recommend this place.

Brilliant food, fantastic staff and a gorgeous view to top it all off! We'll definitely be back!

Great setting for dinner! Beautiful uninterrupted views of the water and city! Loved the food and service! Generous portions

Servings sizes were great. Service was very good.

We enjoyed our meal at the HBK out on the veranday with a view of the VIvid lights. The BBQ Meat platter was huge and included sirloin steak, the works burger, spicy wings, beef and pork ribs, chips and salad. A long walk around the vivid lights helped to work off the meal.

Girls night out to see Vivid and what a great start to the evening. Verandah seating was amazing, food was delicious and we had a view of the lights. Fabulous evening all round and very impressed with HBK.

It was beautiful!
We arrived at 6pm and were seated outside on the balcony area, in a perfect spot to see the fantastic lights of Vivid Sydney!
The food was great and we just arrived in time to get a drink in Happy Hour. I had Sirloin steak and my Fiance had Ribs and Wings which he loved.
All in all a wonderful evening!

This is our second time in HBK using First table and it hasn't let us down. The food are still delicious and the service was quick and friendly. We had the BBQ platter for two and two kids meal. Will recommend this place to everyone!

Amazing food with big portions! Service was really good to and the view outside is lovely.

Will definitely come back!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The view from the table was beautiful. I ordered the kangaroo which was full of flavour my partner got the ribs the meat was falling off the bone. Amazing experience!

We had the shared platter for two!!
Couldn’t recommend it highly enough it was absolutely amazing
We will be back : )

A great atmosphere, dining at Darling Harbour with a view.. Check out the ribs which is as good as next door without the queue

Great food and service

Lovely restaurant with ambiance ++. We were seated outside overlooking Darling Harbour. Great table. Did not have to wait long for food and drink to be delivered
Steak cooked to order and seasoned beautifully. One steak a bit on the chewy side. We added seasonal vegetables which were delicious. Managed to squeeze in a passionfriut tart and a most delicious chocolate bomb. Rich but light. Finished with good coffee.
Manager and waitstaff really nice, welcoming and efficient. Provided good advice regarding menu items/choices.
Only problem from husbands point of view was that the soft table light made it difficult for him to read the menu. I loved it!
Other tables not too close so you felt very private.
Had a great night. Will be back!

We arrived at d restaurant n greeted w/ our friendly waitress n sat outside w/d most amazing view in d background...kids were offered a soft cushion to be elevated to their chair for more comfortable sitting position...n was given some colouring activities that kept them occupied while waiting for our food to come ...we ordered our mains and all came looks so beautiful in d plate n nothing we could fault on it...everything is so delicious ...desserts tasted so Devine ...our dinner at d harbour bar & kitchen is just we needed w/my friend n kids after a busy day at d powerhouse museum to wind down ,relaxed,n ate a good meal...definitely going back again...

It was great! The restaurant had a nice mood, great views and the service was quick. The pork ribs were tender and juicy, and the steak, chips and garlic bread were all delicious. Without a doubt would go back and recommend!

Great view, great vibe, great treatment and great food. Highly recommend.

A beautiful sunset view with fresh healthy meals sizes, very enjoyable

Good food, great service, lovely venue. Had an amazing night, thankyou

Perfect spot for a romantic mid week dinner on the balcony over looking darling harbour waterfront. The garlic bread was the yummiest Iv had in awhile, the wife's streak and mash she rated So Good! I had the pasta with ribs, couldn't believe how big the serve was, overall was a great night, friendly staff, yummy food, great views. we will be back for sure!

This was our 2nd visit to HBK. Service was prompt. Food was mostly good overall. My husband absolutely loved his bone marrow and chargrilled barramundi. I had the beef short ribs which seemed to have more fat than meat which unfortunately was not enjoyable. Apart from that it was still enjoyable.

Food are plentiful and tasty. We had the platter for two and left satisfied. In fact we can’t even finish the food, had to bring some home for lunch the next day. Our favourite is the pork ribs, so tender and juicy. The place is awesome and the service was excellent

Great dining experience.
Wonderful location and service and excellent food.
We arrived 45 minutes early and staff couldn’t have done more with early meals, great balcony seats and drinks.
Would fully recommend.
