Staff were wonderful and attentive, food was delicious however the music was extremely loud and it made it hard to hear the company I was with. Even if this is more of a club style setting, our booking was for 6:30pm which seems early enough to skip any loud music

Food was delicious and the view was amazing however the ambience was let down by the lack lustre service from one of your waitresses on taking our initial drink orders.

Not as I remembered it at all. The place was a mess and dirty, nothing matched the pictures online, and it was generally just a nightmare. The staff were really lovely though which helped soften the blow.

We were going for a dinner date but won’t really be coming back, the furnishing isn’t nice and the food was average. Seemed to be a spot where groups of young 20s eat before going out (which is a bit surprising considering the price). Definitely not stylish and contemporary as promised on the website...

Booked a table at 8pm and staff decided to close the restaurant at 9.45pm because there weren’t enough customers. Was told we couldn’t order coffees/deserts as a result. Disappointing.

About the restaurant

Bye bye Blackbird?

Blackbird, Darling harbour - an ultra-hip, contemporary diner on the promenade of bustling Cockle Bay Wharf. The team here use the freshest ingredients to create their Mod-Australian menu which has everything from simplistic pizzas and burgers to sophisticated kangaroo fillet and seafood risotto. With an in-house mixologist behind the bar a cocktail is the way to go... however, be warned they are dangerously delicious. Enjoy Blackbird with any size group - with a choice of balcony al fresco dining or inside seating all overlooking beautiful Darling Harbour there's something for every occasion.

Best Dish: double roasted pork belly
