We dined here tonight and were given the option of a 6pm or 8pm seating--we chose 6pm and the restaurant was completely empty. Noted for future visits! By 7pm the restaurant was half full and by 8pm all the tables were full. The fish was very fresh and the presentation compares to some of the best restaurants I've dined at.... more

I'm shocked that anyone could complain about the food here! One of the best meals I've had in Sydney and I've done the circuit of most the top restaurants. We went for the five course degustation and each course was devine. Even the bread was outstanding! The staff were lovely and friendly and when our taxi didn't turn up we... more

I have eaten here at Pier it is a brilliant experience, I can't believe some of the reviews I read here, [--] . The food here is exceptional, the waiters do tell you to start eating the fish from the outside because it is still cooking, people who do not listen get raw fish. I thought the waiters were fantastic,... more

The food is very, views are unsurpassed. It's out of the city and looks up the harbour with a whole lot of sailing boats in front. For a small party the private room is superb to book. However it's can be a bit like the Pretty Woman scene where the staff is too good to serve you! One waiter even... more

Last time I dined at Pier it was the best food experience I have ever had. Head Chef Grant King made sure everything was cooked to perfection. Thank you Pier I will never forget this fine dining at its best! more

We ate at Pier on our last night in Sydney, expecting it to be a highlight of our trip. What followed was a nightmare - -Supercilious slow service, mediocre and meagre food, a chef who was rude and obviously set a poor standards of behavious for his staff. It was the worst experience we've ever had any where in the... more

If you want to eat,avoid this place. We were looking forward to coming here to celebrate three great weeks in Australia. It is a pretty restaurant but totally lacks any service. We were sat down at our table & promptly ignored for over half an hour. After many requests to the very arrogant manageress, we were eventually given a menu,... more

Spent 3.5 weeks in Australia and went to most of the high end restaurants. This restaurant was among the worst ones we ate at. The wait staff was running around, which was VERY annoying and yet we had to constantly ask for stuff (e.g., water). Over half the menu was raw and we figured out why as the main fish... more
