Love Fish – Brilliant Food, Bring a Fan Love Fish absolutely nails what matters most: the food and the wine. The wine list is excellent, the dishes are genuinely impressive, and the service is warm and efficient without hovering. But the verandah… mate. Boiling hot, blinds up, no fans, and I was melting faster than the ice in my water.. If you’re outside on a warm day, prepare to slow‑cook. The Food (aka the reason you go) - GF Salt & Pepper Squid – Don’t hesitate. It’s every bit as good as the regular version, light, crisp, and properly seasoned. - Salmon Hash Cakes – Aaaamazing. One of those dishes you start planning to reorder before you’ve even finished the first bite. - Olives to start – Simple, salty, perfect with a drink. - Fish & Chips – Exactly what it says on the tin: classic fish and chips, no twists, no fuss. - Crisp Skin Salmon & Asparagus, beautifully cooked, under cooked to perfection, skin crackling like pork crackling, asparagus done just right. - Hapuku Fillet – Beautifully cooked, melt‑in‑the‑mouth stuff. - Whole NZ Flat Fish – Brilliant. Cooked Mediterranean‑style with tomatoes and herbs, perfectly done, and the kind of dish that makes you stop mid‑conversation just to appreciate it. - Sides – We skipped them in favour of more starters, but they looked solid if you’re that way inclined. Drinks A dry rosé washed everything down beautifully. Great pairing with the seafood and the heat (even if the heat was doing its best to finish me off). Service Friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. No complaints here. The Only Downside The verandah. Lovely view, but on a hot day it turns into a slow‑roast chamber. A couple of fans or dropping the blinds would turn the experience from “delicious but sweaty” into “perfect”. --- Verdict Love Fish delivers exceptional food and wine with solid service. Just pick your seating wisely unless you enjoy being basted in your own juices. If you’re there for the seafood (and you should be), you’ll walk away happy.

Came in as a walk-in and were directed to a seat immediately and got menus. After 20 minutes I had to go up to a staff member to ask for our order to be taken. They did seem very attentive, just not in our section. The Fish and Chips was the star dish, batter was light and wonderfully crispy. The other meals were nice.

Fantastic seafood and creative cocktails at wonderful waterfront setting. You must try! One of Sydney's best without doubt. Understated and underrated. My wife and I shared multiple dishes of beautiful Syd rock oysters, sashimi scallops, Tas salmon, melt in your mouth fatty Tuna, salt and pepper squid and NT Barra. Simply delicious! Super attentive and friendly service. Any issues quickly sorted with a smile. Hard to beat. Plus reasonable prices!! We will be back. Don't hesitate.

We had an incredibly delicious dining experience here for lunch. We decided against getting one of the enticing set menus and instead ordered just over half a dozen different dishes to share to get a good sample of their fine cuisine. We were not disappointed with any of the dishes and it's hard to choose a favourite, but the salmon ceviche was really next level with a perfect blend of flavours all bursting in our mouths with each bite. The waitstaff, including our main waiter Mina, did an amazing job of making sure that we were always taken care of. I requested that our cocktail glasses never be allowed to be empty before another was brought and they never let us down. The food, service and overall atmosphere was fantastic. I can't recommend this place high enough. We will certainly be dining here again.
