Kittyhawk

After a bit of searching we finally found Kittyhawk tucked away and offering a cosy retreat from the cold, windy night. We rewarded ourselves with some fine cocktails and the slow roasted lamb shoulder...comforting and delicious. Generous servings, great service and an extensive drinks menu will make a return visit a necessity...

Firstly we went there to listen to jazz and blues as the website indicated; arrived and was told there was no live music. Also I am a vegan; there were no vegan options on the menu; I asked if the chef could make one up for me and all I got was a plate full of slice raw veges! And paid far too much for that dish. In contrast, the staff were amazing, thank you.

All of the staff seemed stressed. Not a single one smiled

Kitty Hawk has a really nice relaxed US diner vibe. It’s cosy and warm with booth seating round circular tables, making it easy for conversation within groups. The service was mostly attentive without being too formal, though occasionally it was hard to get staff’s attention as it was a busy Saturday night. There is a very extensive drinks menu and aThe food was great, with the steaks being cooked exactly the way we’d requested, even the one ordered blue, which is not always a given in Sydney. The side of green beans was delicious. The dessert menu was rather limited with just a choice of 3, one being cheese. The creme brûlée was delicious but the chocolate option was a bit of a let down and didn’t taste homemade. They don’t serve coffee which seemed odd. It was a shame there was no live music on a Saturday night anymore as there had used to be. This would have made the experience even better. Overall, we had a great time.

Great atmosphere and awesome food and drinks for any occasion

Great atmosphere, great service but you pay a premium for it

Kittyhawk is a lovely setting. Relaxing and on a Monday night a bit quieter than later in week. We loved this as we could chat. Food was delicious, we shared the lamb shoulder after a delicious charcuterie. Could not fault. Service was efficient. Will definitely return.

Had an amazing time, beautiful atmosphere. Some nice gluten free options, love the barramundi!

the liberation banquet was really good value, between two could've fed four! cocktails also a highpoint. had a great time, will love to come back.

Great food, amazing wine, gorgeous service and live music . Just a little bit too noisy

Really delicious and tasty food. Friendly and helpful staff. Will come back here next time.

Amazing atmosphere, and really good food. The music was excellent, but the overall noise levels made it a bit hard to hear each other, and for the staff to hear food and drink orders (we got some lovely croquettes instead of a baguette :) )

Great service, they were very attentive. Cocktails are fabulous but our mains left a little to be desired. It's very much a bar so was reasonably loud for a dinner date. Great vibe and we enjoyed our evening.

Exquisite service in a superb environment. We’ll be back for more steak frites!!!

Lovely food - music was too loud and it was too dark to read the menu

Our main server was lovely, and usually worked at a different venue. The rest were average, but she made up for it. It was noisy, but that is to be expected for after work drinks on a Friday. Food was tasty, but portion a little on the small side. Vegetarian Gnocchi was delicious

Great music. Crowd a bit corporate but they empty out pretty early

Staff were nice and attentive - although as it got more packed, understandably, it was harder to get staff attention to pay bill. Definitely a favourite haunt.

Great atmosphere, great drinks and the live music was the perfect touch!

Rude barmen. Terrible food. Steak was tough and very difficult to chew.

perfect ambience, great service. loved the theme. speakeasy vibe. music was perfect, but loud but loved the band. food was awesome, price was acceptable.

Scooping special so not expecting much. Meal was okay but wine was seriously undrinkable !!! Not a wine snob but wine was terrible .

Great service, maybe a simplified menu would be better as I didn't know what to order in terms of cocktails & drinks. Had to ask the staff but she didn't have any idea.

Awesome evening, thank you definitely recommend this place to friends

Great service, great food, great ambience - we will be back!

Friendly service, food was great and nice ambience. Thank you!!

Great food and service love every minute, Good vibe and atmosphere

Good vibe. Good service. Food and drinks were also great.

Great band great music just lack of atmosphere and life not that many customers the music definitely helped thisnplace. And the wait for cocktail was long

We enjoyed the music, food and cocktails at Kitty Hawk. It was our one year anniversary and everything was perfect. Will be back again. :))

Pricey for a casual meal. Wouldn't call Kittyhawk fine dining. Staff were great.

Perfect wine bar with great ambience, sensational food and top notch Moscow Mules

Had a voucher so was good value, great atmosphere staff were attentive and chatty. Music is loud but it blends in with the surrounds. Our meal was a good size kportion the lamb was a little on the tough side but still we had a nice evening.

Cosy environment, good food, good service and amazing old fashioneds.

Very nice decor and interesting food. Problem was the noise levels after work on a Friday. Possibly choose a different time to dine if you want to have any sort of conversation.

Lovely food, lovely setting and decor, very busy Friday nights. Can be quite loud.

food was great. The venue was busy. As a bar and restaurant the atmosphere is very loud, so just know what you are getting into.

Food great service wonderful. Ambiance terrific.. band playing great.. background music a little loud in dining area. Would definitely go back for that amazing lamb rack

Good location, great friendly service, good food and good atmosphere - Went on a Saturday evening, Enjoyed the place would definitely recommend and ensure to book as this place does get packed

Should have been so much more! Purchased a cudo voucher for a "French dinner" with wine. Limited menu but included a slow cooked shoulder of lamb to share (Navrin D’agneau) ordered and out came crispy chat potatoes, green leaf salad and a small rack of lamb very rare. The wife asked for it to be cooked longer, or medium, but came back out rare one end so gave up and thankfully they accepted a new order of barramundi beautifully cooked, however in the meantime the crispy chat potatoes were left to languish on the table cold and uncrispy and of course not replaced. Could have been so much better. Overall it's more of a bar than a restaurant and should stick to bar related food even if French, very noisy too but music was great very nice band but didn't feel compelled to stay...⅞
