After viewing and photographing the Sydney Harbour Bridge and a cruise ship in Australia, I waited until sunset so that I can see the same scene at night. Unfortunately, the sun sets later in the summer; and the walk back to Circular Quay was at least 30 minutes. I wanted a bite to eat with a view of the water; but most of the restaurants were either closing or already closed. Cruise Bar in Sydney appeared to be a viable option for me at that late hour.
Cruise Bar in Sydney. Restaurant Review.
Cruise Bar lives up to its name, as it has a full bar. Additionally, Junk Lounge is on level two of the building; and the rooftop is on level three.
I was seated at a table that was outdoors. I did see a mouse scatter by on the floor in the darkness towards the large flat-screen television; but I attributed that to being close to the water at Circular Quay Wharf and not to a lack of cleanliness.
The Fresh Cooked Prawns were served with a ramekin of Marie Rose and a slice of lemon. $28.00 in Australian dollars
The Grilled King Prawns were served with tomato butter and a slice of lemon. $30.00 in Australian dollars
The highlight of the dining experience is the view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge…
…as well as Circular Quay itself…
…and the Sydney Opera House.
Final Boarding Call
Although the prices are a bit expensive, I recommend dining at Cruise Bar in Sydney for a quick bite to eat — or to simply relax and enjoy the views. The food was good and the service was decent. Most of all, the view is to be enjoyed.
I would have rather had a fuller and longer dining experience; but this sufficed before returning to the hotel property.
The total cost of the meal that was highlighted in this article was $38.88 in United States dollars.
