Ok so they revamped the place but service is still just as bad. It takes this woman with short brown hair 15 minutes to get me a glass of water and twice I had to tap her on the shoulder. Her attitude was because it was water it wasn't important (I was so thirsty! Hot weather!) My beef burger wasn't spectacular, the beef pattie was in three pieces and ended up falling everywhere, the chips were the little bits at the end, which is annoying because normal chips would have been better. My friends salad was drenched in oil, haha so much for choosing a healthier option.

So overall, bad, still bad, but at least the view of Darling Harbour is still there...beautiful.

Approximate cost: $20

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Darling Harbour. Aside from the great modern decor (including the hanging chairs), the food is fantastic. My favourite is the steamed vegetables with green curry dipping sauce - so good!
There is a lot of space in this restaurant and it feels clean and light.

The food and atmosphere of this place are great. The downfall is that I feel that the restaurant is understaffed. It is extremely popular, and hence busy, but the waiters are always rushing and it's hard to get your attention. The prices are normal for restaurants in the area.

This place was such a find. Located on Cockle Bay Wharf nestling up high like a birds nest. I want to go back and book the round table in the indoor gazebo that looks like a giant birds cage. The hanging basket chairs are awesome too, I want some for my home.

We only popped up for a drink but we would definitely go back one day for a meal. The place is floor to ceiling themed in bird and cage paraphernalia. it is fantastic, the hanging basket chairs are my favourite. The bathrooms are very modern, A fun place.

This is a vibrant happening place. Perfect for after work catch up or a light lunch. The staff are what makes this place work.

The menu is simple and the prices are reasonable. No BYO but the price of wine is kept reasonable

This is great place to have a meal and drinks. Their prices are quite good for Cockle Bay and the quality and service is also good. It also has a nice view overlooking the bay.

I went here with my friends for dinner and we had a great time. This restaurant is lively and colourful, and a great place to kick off a big night. The view from the balcony is also excellent. There is a good variety of dishes to suit a range of tastes.

As long as you don't mind waiters with attitude problems then this place is just fine. Very cheap and simple food for the area. It feels more like a local cafe than a Darling Harbour restaurant. On a sunny day you can get a pretty decent view of Darling Harbour as well.
