Watershed Hotel - Darling Harbour Review

Perfect Waterfront location . Good food and awesome service . Great for the Saturday evening fireworks or a perfect sunny Sunday

Fantastic pub lunch prices . Good portions.
Also has a big screen inside for the sporting fans.

Fantastic view of the Darling Harbour. Good service. Good food, though near the end of my pasta I got a stapler pin in the food!!!

Great view after 8pm the city is lit up and great for photos, but drinks seem dear. If you wait til it gets dark and see the city you won't worry too much about the price of a drink.

Food was very basic... service, terrible and the female manager was rude and dismissive... don't waste your time folks.

Very Average. Service was ok. Food was great. Excellent Location

Good restaurant but the bar waiters try to charge you the full price rather than the early meal price. Not accidental happened 3x but I just shrug it off and remind them that their advertisement is $14 for a schnitzel and beer. They go and change it.

The $14 schnitzel, fries, salad and beer is available Mon-Thur and it is actually pretty good. Good scenery; if you sit outside the cigarette smoke will get to you. Inside is smoke free as far as I can tell.

Wow, what a beautiful lunch we had.... Gift from our daughter.... Seafood platter was huge..... Just melt in the mouth.... Staff so lovely and helpful. Highly recommended.

Where do I start about reviewing this establishment other than come straight out and say AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Honestly hard to fathom that an establishment like this is operating in the middle of Sydneys dining and licensed precinct.

Bar staff are rude. Full stop!! Waiters/waitresses are not much better, even the ones with very little English language.

The food we ordered was absolutely disgusting, chicken schnitzel for $22 arrived partially cooked with red meat and veins visible and cold on the inside. Politely mentioned it to a waitress when she collected the partially eaten meal so she could advise kitchen staff where she returned a short time later with the plate still in her hand where she attempted to explain to me and my guests that she had been informed by kitchen staff that this is how it is cooked. Really I replied? The chef is attempting to confirm that uncooked chicken
Is ok to eat. Again I politely advised the waitress that we were not impressed at all and if she could please take the plate away. Other patrons sitting close by commented on how disgusting that was that they even tried to justify the meals.
Short time later same waitress returned this time with an apology and we were offered two free drinks.
Seriously management. You have some serious issues which need addressing.

Do not watch a World Cup game here. They have deliberately oversubscribed the venue and you can t get in despite having bought a ticket. Disgraceful. Don t fancy my chances of a refund either.

First timers at this venue so we bought a meal voucher. Extremely pleased with the seafood platter, even had half a mornay lobster. It was very clean and has little inside areas, so it didn't feel like your in an open barn. Good amount of covered outdoor seating. Definitely returning

Overall Poor .Lack of table service and wait staff not being helpful. Had to ask for table water, hot summers day. Had to ask for plates. Ordered cocktails.... they were horrible . Not freshly made. On enquiry found out they were from a machine !!!
We ordered seafood platter. Full of battered seafood. Cold lobster mornay and stringy calamari. Overall very disappointing dining experience .

2017-Dec-01, Sat 11PM. I was here for the full moon party. I first want to say that they sold too many tickets; it was so crowded you barely had any space to get from one place to another, let alone dance(-2 star). The music was excesively load (-1 star) and the DJ played cheap remixes that had absolutely no rhythm (-1 stars). The place has 3 levels (ground floor, upper level and above it a private room\area). The UV body paint (see photo) they had prepared and the string of flowers that go around the neck were a popular feature included in the ticket price (+1 star). They were annoyingly slow at checking people at the entry at 11PM when I got there, they were allowing in 1 person every 2 minutes (-1 star). It started at 10PM, lasted until 4AM and I can confirm there's no lockout; they stick a band around your wrist so you can go in and out as you please until 4AM.

Food was delicious...
Service so good, the staff are helpful..
Nice place to spend time and watching fireworks.. Very Recommend..

Was here for the Carpe Diem NYE event and absolutely loved the atmosphere, had the best view of the fireworks from the upstairs balcony, staff were all very nice and music was amazing!

Great staff safe for children and great place to have lunch with family.Also a great place to have a birthday party.

It s been awhile since I have been to The Watershed and we were pleasantly surprised. We bought a scoop on voucher and to be honest I wasn t expecting much.
Too our delight the staff & food made for a pleasant experience
All the staff were so friendly and helpful. They just knew how to look after each table. From the time we ordered our wine we were offered a glass of ice to help keep our drinks cold - it was a very very hot day. Their service was seriously some of the best I ve had in a while as we felt they genuinely cared. Other Sydney establishments need to take some service lessons from The Watershed - thank you!!

They are understaffed and undertrained. They served me food that I am allergic to. I did warn them. They overcharged our group, we complained and they told us to wait another hour.

Great views over Darling Harbour and view of the western side of Sydney CBD

This pizza was so good. Next time I'm in Sydney I'm back.

I always receive amazing service when im here. Great location and amazing view.

Great place for night out with friends but don't expected healthy food

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE Honestly one of the worst places to go clubbing. After paying a $55 entry fee for my friend and i to enter your Vivid neon party event, we lasted maybe 1.5 hours before we were abruptly escorted off the property by your security guard for absolutely zero reason. I understand there is a standard all clubs need to follow for intoxicated people, but my friend and I weren't even the slightest bit tipsy nor did we show the signs of a drunk. We had simply stepped outside for some fresh air before a security guard had told us we had to leave and left no room for us to ask why or what we had done wrong. The drinks that you had advertised for the event were also aparently not being served either, the music was okay until your dj only played edm and badly remixed r&b. If I could give you a 0 i would, very agravated and disappointed customer that will not be returning again.

Fantastic place, great food, great views. Strongly recommend it!!!

Lovely meal but not a lot of vegan options. Staff were a little unhelpful.

Awesome service. great team. would recommend an event there as they are great hosts.

We ordered a seafood platter great. People watching was good as well

Good food and a busy place. Close to the harbour with alot of places to eat and drink.

Absolutely loved it here great music drinks werent to expensive right on the water has an outside area to sit and relax great food will definitely go back again

Beautiful experience wonderful point to observe the city.

Fantastic service, fantastic food, fantastic location. What a wonderful day spent here!

Thank you!

Great location, friendly staff that are mostly travelers and the view of Darling Harbour tops it all off!
