Empire Lounge

Great food, service and music. Highly recommended for a light dinner and or a drink.

We took couple of friends here to celebrate their birthday and even though weather wasn't perfect we still had an amazing time. Food was delicious and we were so full! We chose to get $35 bunch set. You do have to pay deposit which is non-refundable but they are happy to accommodate any changes to the booking. Empire lounge is walking distance from the ferry which is available from Circular Quay.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Location, food and drinks great and staff were fantastic and friendly. Good value compared to Catalina next door. Didn’t feel rushed at all, they were happy for us to relax til the sun was setting.

First of all, the view here is awesome on a sunny day. We were there for Valentine’s Day and was pleasantly surprised they aren’t totally booked out. The food was good, the service was fast and the waiter would leave you alone unless you need them which is perfect. Parking could be a problem there and be careful of some parking spots are not for normal car/4WD and can get booked by active rangers around. Be ready to park a bit further and walk a bit. Recommended!

What a wonderful place to relax! A beautiful setting against the water. Loved watching the seaplanes land/take-off. The food was not only gorgeously presented, but it was also incredibly delicious. I highly recommend the Kingfish Crudo dish - fresh and exciting flavours. I've already booked a table to return for my birthday next month!

The food is fantastic and the views are amazing!!! Go there now.

Had a special birthday lunch with our family. Lovely venue, great location and view, fantastic food and service. Highly Recommended

Was recently taken here for a birthday dinner upon reccomendation from friends and was quite dissapointed. Firstly, the starters were not quite fresh, the burratta seemed as if had been in fridge too long. Both starters needed seasoning. The mains were cold, especially the mash and sole. The medium rare steak was overcooked, which was a disappointment. Service was lagging, I had to move my own plate to another table after half an hour of no service. Considering this was on a Wednesday evening, with few tables, it seemed lax. Had to wave over the waiter to order another wine. Didn't even get asked if we wanted dessert. Do not reccomend.

Food across all dishes we had was outstanding. Some of the best oysters anywhere! Sole meuniere was cooked to perfection and the Paris mash was luscious and rich. Arrancinics for entré w truffle shavings were delicate and very tasty. Kingfish sashimi w more truffles was a delight, texture and taste was better than any I've had before. The octopus was grilled to perfection and so tender. The sauce with it lifted it to even greater heights. The cocktails were also tasty. Wine list is not extensive but the 3 wines we had were all nice. I could go on and on. When adding in great service and a view to die for it was a very memorable meal for the 4 of us. Oh I forgot about the cheesecake! It was perfection. So light yet rich. Perfect texture and despite being very full we couldn't stop eating it! Very happy customers here and much respect to Faheem and his team!

I had the best birthday dinner in this place. The food was absolutely delicious, seafood was very fresh and everything was beautifully presented. Really good drinks and lovely staff. I also received a free drink because it was my birthday. Highly recommend it!
