    Have not been to cirrus for a few years. Still as good as I remember. The calamari was tender and perfectly cooked, duck was one of the best I have had in a long time.

    Our flight to Sydney was delayed, and we were worried that we would miss our dinner booking at Cirrus. However, we were AMAZED at the service provided by the restaurant, who held our booking for almost an hour until we finally arrived. And it was worth it! Fantastic food. Beautiful restaurant. Attentive, friendly wait staff. And a great selection of wines to match the meal. A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!

    Kingfish with strawberry was very interesting! Quite enjoyed the prawns and always love the bread here. Pavlova was delicious. Quality has dropped slightly from my first visit a couple years ago but still an enjoyable meal!

    We visited on a Friday for lunch and ordered up big! Each of the dishes had it's own character and was delicious. I would definitely give a special shout out to the sauce and broth making across the board - super delicious. Our flounder was also perfectly cooked. The service was non invasive, informed and topped with some pleasant wit. I would definitely recommend a visit.

    Brilliant service. Staffs are very helpful. Food is delicious. Grilled bread is really tasty except a little bit oily. Steak is cooked to perfection.

    The food was really nice and creative but I wouldn’t go unless it had the 30% fork discount as the price range is high.

    Overall, the ambience of Cirrus is lovely. The food was good, produce quality is great. The stand out dish for us was the prawns. Most other dishes were nice, but found they lacked a wow factor and taking into account the price, expectations were higher. Service was majorly lacking, asked for the sommelier twice, though none turned up. We finished our bottle of wine before mains, due to the wait times. Overall, good food, however the restaurants menu and service needs some work. The service is indicative on the experience and journey you want to take your consumers on. With a tweak to this and further menu exploration toward exceptional food preparation, Cirrus can turn around their current bottlenecks.

    We really wanted to like this restaurant. The reviews were great and the setting was lovely. Unfortunately we felt the food was more fancy than it was good. The bill certainly reflected the fancy so we were disappointed with our overall experience. It was also the only time we're we felt pressured to leave a tip. Someone emphasized where you entered a tip and then stood by me while I filled it out. There are so many great restaurants in Sydney. I can't say I would recommend this one at all.

    We went on a Sunday so not sure if they were understaffed. Service was super slow, our orders were incorrect each time. Food was ok

    Overall food was excellent. Unfortunately, the service was a let down. We had booking, the waitress saw us & took us to a table next to the entrance, whilst there were so many empty tables. I had to request for a different table. Service was really slow until the delicious food wasn't hot enough when they got to our table. Fortunately, the flavour saves the evening. Overall, this dining experience left us a bit of a bad taste due to the unwelcoming & slow service. Bentley Group has a lot of room for improvement on the service side, unless they only want to focus on food.

About the restaurant

ABOUT CIRRUS

Cirrus is Sydney's finest waterfront seafood restaurant. Opening in September 2016, it was one of the first restaurants established at the Barangaroo South development, a major renewal of the former shipping wharves along the western edge of Sydney Harbour.

With a reputation already forged by their Sydney restaurants Bentley Restaurant + Bar, Monopole and Yellow, having a fourth venue on the water's edge at Barangaroo was a perfect fit for award-winning restaurateurs Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandt.

Brent and Nick named the restaurant ‘Cirrus' to complement the cloud-like apartment block ‘Anadara' that sits above it and the beautiful big-sky vista you can view from the dining room. The interior was designed by Pascale Gomes-McNabb and Terroir Architects. The design plays on the harbourside location and nautical heritage, and appears to seamlessly blend in with the curvaceous nature of the headland as if it were part of the landscape.

“Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandt are responsible for some of Sydney's best dining experiences, and Cirrus ups the ante.” Gourmet Traveller Australian Restaurant Guide 2018
