We had lunch there. Food was really nice. But service was exceptional. I am not sure about the other guys in that restaurant, but the one served us was really good. His name was Rod. Now time for food rating. Vegetarian pizza - 7/10 ( it was nice but a bit dry, i think sprinkle some olive oil). Rib eye steak - 8/10 CHIMICHURRI FETTUCCINE - 8/10 overall good experience. We will be back for sure.

We had a great experience having lunch at the Black Bird Darling Harbour. The exceptional service was outstanding; the food arrived very quickly, within 10-15 minutes, and all four of our orders were promptly placed on the table. We ordered the OLD FAITHFUL BURGER, which could have been more flavorful with fresher salad. The Full PORK RIBS were delicious with a beautiful presentation. The SUPREME pizza was delicious and the spicy chicken wings were tasty as well. We also had the Fruit Monster Mocktail and the Tropical Island Mocktail, which was a 5/5! The views were stunning and the staff was very attentive. Overall, would give it 4.8/5 stars!

The dining experience was truly exceptional, with each dish exceeding expectations. The kangaroo and pizza were particularly delightful, while my companions loved the fettuccine and sticky date pudding. Overall, it was a memorable outing with friends, thanks to the delicious food and wonderful company.

Loved my first time trying kangaroo meat. Was quickly guided to a very nice table upon my arrival. All the staff was very welcoming and were interested to make conversation with you. Would have loved the waiter who brought me the food to explain the dish and the side of special jack Daniels soy sauce that goes with the Kangaroo meat 😌
