    We were sharing a special celebration with our nephew and girlfriend. The view from our table on the terrace overlooking the bay was spectacular. Our starters of oysters, squid, stuffed prawns and Moreton Bay bugs were delicious as was the grilled John Dory, grilled Barramundi and Snapper and chips. The service was excellent and the wine prices were correct

    Pretty poor overall, to say Doyle’s is now the quintessential tourist trap is a true tragedy. I was so excited to dine and celebrate a family members birthday . Unfortunately my disappointment was directly proportional to my excitement. Poor, careless service. The food was so bland and poorly presented I honestly felt embarrassed looking around at all the visitors from overseas. I guess I hoped it hadn’t become the tourist trap it has now completely turned into.

    A lovely lunch at Doyles with visitors to Sydney. Arrived and left by water taxi making the experience that little bit more special. Minor glitch that coffees were late at the end but they did the right thing and knocked it off the bill- thank you Doyles. Our friends were impressed.
