Reviews


This restaurant in Sydney offers a mixed experience, with some customers praising the seafood chowder and chili as delicious and satisfying, served with excellent service from Alexa. However, others found the lobster overpriced and underwhelming, with smaller portion sizes and lackluster quality. The atmosphere and views from the terrace were highly praised, but some guests felt that the prices did not match the overall experience. Despite some positive reviews, it seems that the quality and value of the food at this restaurant can be inconsistent, with some customers feeling unsatisfied with their dining experience, on average, the rating for Flavor on the Water is 4.1.
