Sydney Flying Squadron Ltd reviews
4 Star Review by Mary Baynes Jaul
Great food, ambience, drinks on the terrace....one of Sydney's hidden gems. The Flying Bear Cafe underneath is right over the water with fabulous views...gteat for brunch/ lunch...or just coffee.
1 Star Review by Tracey Chaffer
Worst food and so overpriced. Who thought you could go wrong with fish and chips - undercooked in old oil, ravioli was tasteless. The only thing good about the place was the burger and location.
5 Star Review by Philip Lindsay
This venue has a fantastic location right on the harbour at Careening Cove in Kirribilli. The downstairs cafe serves fab health food and drinks plus good coffee. You will love the experience. Ideal destination for interstate or overseas visitors.
5 Star Review by Darren Campbell
Saturday lunch with a view of the harbour and good vantage to see the racing yachts being rigged in the park. Great menu and service.
4 Star Review by Matthew Shanahan (Matt)
This was my first visit to the Sydney Flying Squadron, and I loved it! The steak and fries were fantastic, with the steak juicy, tender, succulent and delicious, and the shoestring fries crisp and yummy. The service was great and the dining room was welcoming. It was raining heavily, so I didn't get to enjoy the views, but I'm sure this will add an extra dimension next time. There is plenty of two and four hour parking in the surrounding streets.
