Thai-Foon offers indoor-outdoor options on the first floor overlooking the water and the entertainment at Darling Harbour. Excellent authentic Thai food, large selection of dishes, friendly service, fully licensed.
As with all Australian restaurants, smoking is only allowed outside.
Favorite Dish: BBQ Chicken and Chilli Basil Noodles are our two favourites - but all the dishes we've tried have been excellent.

Olivo is in an excellent location in Darling Harbour, with friendly informal service in a casual atmosphere.
They were happy to change the make-up of the dishes - garlic mash changed to risotto cake for example.
Favorite Dish: The Osso Bucco and the Risotto al Funghi are excellent. Aussie wines from about $7 a glass.

Mi Casa is located on the second level of Harbourside at Darling Harbour, with views across the water to the city.
Excellent service and good, honest, basic Italian food plus a good selection of wines.
Favorite Dish: For me, Cotoletta alla valtellinese - crumbed veal with ham & melted cheese - or pollo alla boscaiola - grilled chicken breast with a cream & mushroom sauce and parmasan cheese, and for Geina Risotto con salsicce - arborio rice with Italian sausage. All are top quality.

The food is always a 10 out of 10. I particularly enjoy the lamb skewers.
The menu consists of BBQ food such as steak sandwiches, hamburgers, lamb skewers etc. Served with fries and a salad, some meals come with a free drink.
Everything is under $10.

Nice little restaurant on Darling Harbour. Friendly and helpful staff, who helped explain to us the ins and outs of Oyster eating, and they were delicious. I also had a pint of prawns and a beer - bonza !!!
Favorite Dish: Oysters - Kilpatrick style

Darling Harbour has about 30 restaurants to choose from, including steak, seafood, Asian, and Italian. If you are spending the day here, you do not have to go far to find a place to eat. Although I have only eaten at 4 different places here, I enjoyed coming here to eat at an outdoor restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night because of all the different types of people walking around. It is a fun atmosphere.

Baia San Marco had very good food but we had terrible service. The server screwed up our order more than once. The location was great, as was the setting on Cockle Bay Wharf at Darling Harbour. We probably just had a bad server, but we were happy the manager was very helpful and resolved our problems.
Favorite Dish: I had the Fettuccine di Mare, which was seafood fettuccine. It was good.

Blue Fish Cafe is an Australian and seafood restaurant. I came here for breakfast one morning and it was very good. It is a nice setting right on Darling Harbour.
Their dinner menu looked great, so it might be worth coming for dinner if you are here.
Favorite Dish: I had the Full Breakfast, which was fried eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, toast, mushrooms, and roasted tomato.
Breakfasts are from AU$5 - $25 per person. For dinner, the lowest priced meal on the menu was around $20.

Before coming to Sydney, I had heard a lot about this chain of steakhouses. I made it a point to set aside some extra time to try and sample their food. When I arrived in their branch around 6 PM, I was a little surprised that it was already quite full and I had to wait 20 minutes or so to get a table. The server assigned to the table was less attentive primarily then I had hoped for because there were so many tables assigned to her care. Perhaps the management could add a few extra servers just to make it a better experience. As for the food, I ordered a steak as well as a rack of ribs. The serving sizes were as expected quite large. It was quite good taste-wise. It wasn't great but then again perhaps I was expecting too much given all the glowing reviews I received prior. The restaurant also has a wide selection of wines and beers to choose from.
Overall I thought I had a good enough an experience eating in Hurricane's Steakhouse.
