    Great place in regards to the view but you pay for that and the name. The food is average to good but should be better for the price. They need to up their game a bit more across the board we felt. We will go back and hope that there is improvement.

    The setting, service and elegant simplicity of the menu was outstanding. We enjoyed the baked Camembert for starters. The garlic prawns were amazing for entree. For our mains we had the Market Fish (incredible Asian flavours) and the John Dory fish and chips all while overlooking picturesque Watson Bays and views to the city. Our desserts were sublime, Sticky Date, Affogato and Pannacotta. The best part was the service…welcoming, timely and helpful. Thank you Doyle’s for this memorable Dining occasion.

    We enjoyed a lovely meal at Doyle’s last night. We took visitors from overseas & we all loved the food, service & ambience of the restaurant. We were fortunate to sit on the upstairs balcony & had a stunning view of the harbour & the city as the sun was setting. Simply beautiful. The barramundi was lovely, as was the wine. It was a perfect evening & so simple to get there by ferry.

    Just as I remembered it from when we last visited back in 2018. Food and service were excellent and our table was in the best position on a corner of the balcony overlooking the bay with the Sydney skyline in the far distance. It was perfect! Thank you so much for an amazing experience.
