Sydney Cove Oyster Bar - Circular Quay

Very good food, very good service, hot food served hot, fresh oysters served super fresh. All food really well presented. A very good wine selection. Great location with lively harbour activity a great scene of Sydney. Ambience for outside dining exceptional. On a fine day the best restaurant in Sydney.

Flathead Tacos -,the sauce has changed since our last visit. Go back to the old one, less heat & tastier!

Balmain bug was sensational. The little potato scallops that came with the meal so scoop up the sauce were outstanding... I joked with the waiter asking for a special service of the scallops! Wine from Tasmania a stand out. Fabulous lunch.

Love the view and the food was delicious. Would recommend going before they close down

It’s such a pity this is closing end of March. The location, food and service is and was just outstanding. Looking out over Circular Quay where there is something always going on you could be anywhere in the world. We will definitely go back again before their last day.

Great service and a beautiful Harbourside position. Staff lovely , great drinks, food not as good as the last time I was there in November

The Sydney Cove Oyster Bar is amongst the city’s most iconic restaurants. It never disappoints. Everything about it is exceptional. I am so sad to know that this restaurant will be closing in March 2021.

Great ambience. Good food delivered promptly. Left plenty of time to get to our show.

Staff was helpful and very friendly. Food was yummy and the view amazing!!

Beautiful spot. Absolutely fabulous service..
Menu on fish slightly tight. A little more choice would’ve been good. Absolutely loved the lobster now it is more affordable in Australia.

Everything was fabulous, shame they are closing.

Always a great experience! Will be sad to see it end. Hopefully we will see the team again somewhere close!

What a great location! Food and service was excellent. The oysters (from Merimbula) were just superb.

This restaurant is closing at the end of March - go before it closes to experience this lovely place!

Terrific location, outstanding food, wonderful service!

We adore this fabulous harbourside restaurant. The service is excellent, the food exquisite, the views are breathtaking! We are regulars to this eatery even though we live up in Wahroonga - 45 min drive! Always worth it! So wish Clover Moore would let them keep their lease - this place is a Sydney Icon!

It was amazing, best table, best food the best service. Loved the whole experience.

Our favourite place to eat when we come to Sydney. The food, staff and setting is just amazing. Such a shame this iconic part of Sydney is closing.

Perfect, as always and it is a travesty that NSW Property has not renewed their lease after 30+ years and SCOB using its own $ & brilliant design concept to transform a once public toilet block! Get there before 28 march & experience the magic before its lost forever! :((

We love going to oyster bar and are very sad to hear your news!! Over the years you have been great host to my whole family n company function in the pass! We wish you all the best n please let us know if you set up somewhere else!!

Service was exceptional & the food matched.
Some items on the menu I thought were priced quite high like the prawns for example, but that is the only thing I can fault.
Location is perfect with a great view of the harbour bridge.

Food was great and the staff were excellent even in difficult weather conditions. They were very helpful and made sure we were comfortable despite the rain.

Fantastic location. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was great. Loved the total experience at this restaurant. Such a shame this iconic restaurant will be closing in March.

Great staff and atmosphere, even though we got damp after taking the risk with the weather. We’re very sad to learn the restaurant will close in March 2021. :(

Unfortunately terrible weather to be outside! The staff were lovely and very helpful in trying to keep us dry. Nice food, great cocktails.

Overall a genuinely decent restaurant that did not disappoint. Of course, certain aspects could have been improved, such as the size of the tables, the background noise, the presentation...

With prices edging towards fine dining, although I would like to think I enjoyed my experience, I would also be hard pressed on deciding to return.

Overall the service was a little sloppy and not as good as when we went last year. They food also was OK but not as good as previous visit. Location however is fabulous.

Good food and good service. Overall a bit pricey, but what price do you put on such a unique location?

Thank you chef 👍Our food is yummmmmm. And Very good customer service 👍🙏.

Always a fantastic experience! The food is fresh and delicious. Start with the Oyster Shooter's they are amazing!

Great place would go back food was great , staff brilliant and the setting was just perfect

Prawns frozen and tasteless, asked for 1/2 pacific oysters 1/2 dozen Sydney Rock oysters, got a dozen Syd Rock with 1/2 labelled pacific, I know my oysters they weren’t pacific! All very small sized, I don’t know why they didn’t just say they were out of pacific!

Oysters expensive at $5 each but good. We ordered grilled lobster and they could only give us a cold lobster...(albeit expensive) ......so we declined.

This was our first time at Oyster Bar and it was lovely. The setting is so Sydney and the wait staff were top notch. This was a corporate lunch and we all were able to easily talk which is always nice and the food was superb. As they are closing soon from this venue, better get in quick.

Amazing - couldn’t have been better.

Hard to beat the location! Oysters were fat and plump.

Excellent service from the moment we arrived.
Food service was exactly the way we like it.

We had a memorable evening - even the interruption of rain provided a moment of madness and hilarity as umbrellas were shuffled around and warm disposable ponchos were distributed. The staff were excellent in dealing with the disruption and provided excellent service.

we love this restaurant and are very sad that the lease is not being renewed.
