LOCATION
On the waterfront at Milsons Point, ten minutes from the CBD, across Sydney Harbour Bridge. Water taxi service available to wharf in front of restaurant.

PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
Delicately suspended in a glass rectangle over the North Sydney Olympic Pool, Aqua Dining can truly lay claim to its aquatic name. From the historic pool below to the shimmering water of Sydney Harbour beyond, Aqua Dining holds court in a stunning dress circle that is flanked by the imposing Sydney Harbour Bridge on one side and the vibrant Luna Park face on the other. This is quintessential Sydney dining from morning to night, when the city lights ignite and create a twinkling fairyland across the water.

Aqua Dining - User Reviews

Anonymous:

An exceptional dining experience. .... When I made the booking and asked about gluten free menu options I was told to speak with the waitress. Hmmm, I’ve been told that before at other restaurants only to find the wait staff has had no training or no menu knowledge in relation to gluten free / coeliac eating. Our waitress Cheryl on the other hand was absolutely delightful, respectful, knowledgeable and made ordering a breeze. She knew that chief Jeff Turnball could make any meal on the menu in a gluten free version and that it was his pleasure to do so, how refreshing! The zucchini flower - entree and lamb rack - main were divine! Let’s not forget the stunning view. A sincere thank you to Cheryl, chief Jeff Turnbull and everyone at aqua dining for a fantastic evening! review 03/03/2011

We had our wedding reception at Aqua Dining and were incredibly impressed with every single aspect. The staff were amazing, the food was incredible and the attention to detail was brilliant. I'd give it 10/10 even before commenting on the views which are of course fantastic. Most impressed and would recommend it to anyone after a beautiful wedding in a restaurant environment. review 03/04/2010

We went to Aqua Dining for lunch on the weekend and had a fanastic time! The service was perfect (let us relax when we wanted a break from eating but also had our meals there when we wanted to eat)... the food was also just gorgeous - all three courses...and the view is of the harbour bridge, the opera house and luna park.... what more could you ask for! Highly reccommended review 06/04/2009
