Honeysuckle Hotel Lee Wharf reviews
5 Star Review by Bridget Cleary
I visited on a Friday afternoon at around 4:30pm with two others. It wasn't too busy and we got a nice table by the water with a great view. We ordered some drinks, coffee, chips ($9) and oven-baked Turkish bread ($9). The drinks were nice and good value, the vodka raspberry was especially good. The chips weren't the best but the delicious Turkish bread made up for it. I liked that we could order our drinks from our phones, but it would've been good if we could order food as well. The service was friendly but not very fast. Overall, I highly recommend for the good vibes and views.

Friendly staff, with deck seating and indoor seating. The ribs and wings were delicious! The lobster was nice, the rump was alright. You can see the nice ships on port with the deck view. The inside is nice and spacious
3 Star Review by Ashleigh White
Stunning view. Food was tasty, one came out slightly cold and one was quite delayed compared to the others. Staff were indifferent but overall did well keeping up with the orders as it's a busy night. I would attend again for the view alone to be honest.

Nice restaurant, tasty food and drinks. Just needs to elevate a bit the hospitality. Otherwise is a nice place to go. I was there today. Here are some photos from the food.
1 Star Review by Sharon Free
Well this was our second visit. The first was a huge disappointment, being served raw fish and losing our order. We were given a generous gift voucher to make up for the experience. So today we returned. What a joke. Yes it was very busy, being Christmas and all, but the food was tasteless, my drink glass was dirty and the service was poor. There were 3 of us, and the waitress had to be asked for extra cutlery. Never going back. For what they charge for the food this place highway robbery. Dont be fooled into thinking its good just because its on the water. The only nice dish was the spiced squid. Bad, bad, bad. Arancini was dry, lamb koftas tasteless, chicken satay, what satay? Replace your kitchen staff!

Honeysuckle hotel, you smashed it out of the park again. I was there for my birthday recently, and after the lovely lady helped with my food order and drinks, I had the pleasure of stepping out onto the glorious outside deck to take in the beautiful views of the harbour and just loved the scenery. I really loved the whole experience there, From the atmosphere to the service and to mostly the wonderful food produced on this special day, I was quite content with my visit and the professionalism of the waitresses, Thank you, Honeysuckle Hotel, I really enjoyed my visit. I will definitely be returning.
