Balmoral Boatshed

A little bit of a wait to get in. During the weekend you might need to go early as parking is hard to find. You are essentially waiting for a table and then head to the front counter to order. Pancakes were thick and delicious with a good amount of syrup. Eggs and mushroom was a little on the salty side. Eggs were a little over cooked and needed some type of a sauce on the side. Lychee and Berry martini was so delicious, perfect balance of sweetness.

Was looking forwards to taking my friend out for lunch at the Boat Shed. Such a lovely location, but unfortunately we both have left extremely disappointed with the quality of food. We've ordered the Dory Crunch, and it has come not only overcooked, but actually burnt. The taste of burnt oil was overpowering and we couldn't really eat it. When I've pointed this out to the waitress, instead of replacing the dish or at least apologizing, she's said that this is how it's supposed to be. Did she really think that the middle aged patrons lunching in Balmoral have no idea how the fried fish is supposed to look like? Poor quality food at high price. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends.

Seems like their boats always have some issues.Booked to hire a boat twice and both times our trip was cancelled because of an engine problem. Seriously? The first time at least we got a voucher, the second time just an apology and even though I told them that this was already the second time this happed, they did not even get back to me and just ignored my message! Very disappointing.

5 stars for happy hour experience. Walking from Taronga Wharf to the Spit today & stopped for $6 Sauvignon Blancs! Best walking beverage? No, but the wine is good, location is pretty, and it’s Thanksgiving! Skip Ripples on the track and go here from 2-4:00.

Location Location LocationThis is the cutest place to eat/coffee with beautiful sound of the water under your feet while eating.The catch is due to popularity getting a seat can be very difficult.Highly recommend a weekday visit to avoid the crowds, and defiantly somewhere you have to try.I'll update my review when I've eaten here again the first time I was just having coffee which was great.

Nothing beats the ambiance and the view from the outdoor sitting.One of the places that I visit quite frequently with family. A really good place to enjoy a sunny day with a lazy breakfast. Service here is quite quick and the staff is very friendly.Ordering on the counter can be a touch tricky as the menu is installed on the wall slightly away from the menu ordering window. They have an e-option to order from the table but we didn’t use that — probably due to lack of awareness. We only saw this when we reached our tables. Finding a table on a sunny weekend can be tricky as most people stay for a casual chat after finishing.We ordered French Toasted Croissants for then kids, Avo & Tomato on Toast (with Poached Eggs added) and Mushroom Eggs. Off these probably Mushroom Eggs. I really liked the Potato Rosti on the side and the oversized mushroom. French Toasted Croissants were the next. I didn’t like the Toastie as much due to the overly toasted bread which made it quite tough.Overly a must place to visit with family.Prices are a touch high.Be mindful that they start winding down breakfast after 10 - depending on how things run out.

Service is always shocking. Beautiful place and they rely on the location. But the coffee shack is manned by young people who have obviously gone out the night before. We usually wait 20 mins for a coffee..... you get enough business to pay you staff to actually serve!

Enjoyed the fish and chips here as well as the grilled Barramundi on fennel salad. One star less because we went with a vegetarian friend and her dish was very dry and the lettuce was just cut up enough for a salad (it was just one half a lettuce.

Awesome café settings beautiful views and really friendly service. A bit hard to find a table when it is busy but that is not enough to deduct points. The Only thing me and the group I was with had an issue with is the coffee, unanimously all said it wasn't good. Then again coffee is not the only reason to come here so can't expect the best. Food though is very good and the experience as a whole is very pleasant, definitely will come back

Coming back after awhile and looking at the prices for a standard breakfast and coffee was shocking. When did prices increase so drastically? My partner and I just paid slightly under $100 for 2 meals and 2 coffees. Was the breakfast worth that? Definitely not. Very standard cafe food and coffee. I won’t be coming back to these prices.
