Blackbird Cafe

I booked a terrace seat expecting a pleasant dining experience, and to be fair, the staff were very friendly. However, the overall experience still fell below expectations. While I understand that the team was extremely busy, it was quite surprising that when the fireworks began, other guests came to my table, interrupting my meal, and no staff member stepped in to manage the situation. Additionally, my kangaroo steak was served cold, and I wasn’t given a fork. For a moment, I even wondered whether I was expected to eat kangaroo steak without utensils, or if I simply didn’t know the “proper” way to eat it. Despite the staff’s friendliness, these issues significantly affected my experience. I hope the restaurant will address them to ensure better service for future guests.

We booked the Bottomless Brunch and all I can say wow. The food, the service, the view was amazing. Even though it was bottomless, we could not go for a second round of food. We were so full from the food on offer. We tried all the cocktails on offer and left satisfied. Shout out to Rod and Pim, excellent customer service. Will definitely come back.

We came here for our last night in Sydney, and it did not disappoint! Right from the beginning everyone greeted us with smiling faces and a great energy. We were coming for the firework show, and got an absolutely amazing seat with a view out. Along with that, our server Manshi was incredibly attentive and kind, and managed to perfectly balance being present when we needed anything, but while not hovering! The food was good, but not superb- the price mostly reflects the location and venue- but that was perfectly fine for what we were after! We also happened to come for the DJ night, which was the vibe we were after, so it worked out it great, BUT if you are after a quiet dinner on a Friday then you might find it a little loud.

Great place for Saturday night fireworks at Darling Harbour! The first-floor view is perfect, had a really romantic dinner right under the show. Honestly, for a waterfront spot, the prices were totally reasonable and the portions were massive. We ordered starters and they were practically a meal on their own! But the real star is the dessert. Don’t skip it!

Great casual place to hang out. A couple of cocktails and reasonable prices for the food. Great location. My only complaint would be the service was slow. It took way too long to place an order. Food and drinks came out quickly but couldn’t get the attention of staff to order another round of drinks.
