   Went for Mother's Day lunch. Luxurious venue. The sandwiches were terrific. Also was child friendly, no issues with our 6 and 4 years olds eating there.

   Was told they were fully booked when I went there (even though they had heaps of tables open). I went on Open Table and made a reso (for 15 mins later). Came back and they still said they were fully booked but I had a reso so they begrudgingly sat us (had about half the tables open throughout our stay). Service was not great, food took ages (at least 50 mins from seating for simple lunch items). At the very end of our visit they gave us a top up of champagne but no other time did they even ask us if we’d like other drinks or how our meal was. Our $6 ‘unlimited still water’ was only refilled once in over an hour. Food was ok, but couldn’t really enjoy it due to the way we were treated the whole time. We weren’t under dressed and our child was quiet and respectful the whole time so I’m not sure why they didn’t want us there but it was pretty insulting - and I don’t think we’d go back again (even though other times have been good there).

   Was seated on a two seat table for three people. My table was right in front of the cashier and cupboards, so it’s very distracting! Have no idea why they would put three people in a two seated table in that area. The prawns in the fabbrica spaghetti tasted very cheap and wasn’t fresh.

   We were given the wrong meal and, with and empty restaurant, we sat next to the only other people in the place - sadly…they were somewhat loud and obnoxious.

   Food with a view no doubt! We went for dinner, probably more suitable for a lunch. The food was great regardless, however the service was a little disappointing. Drinks/food took far too long to come out, particularly given the restaurant was near empty. This can however be overlooked with good company.

   The waiters were lovely but not overly attentive. We had to ask for water top ups. The overall quality of the high tea isn’t up to par compared to other options around Sydney which offer a more competitive price. The view was the only redeeming feature which is unfortunate as it’s such a nice location, yet the high tea was quite lacklustre.

    Ambience was lovely. requested a table near the window and it was lovely to look out at the harbour and watch the world go by. Food was excellent. Service was a level above your average place although I think they cold have done with another staff member in the area.

    I am a regular at the Living Room, and in recent times the experience has been very inconsistent. Last night, for example, my wife and I waited 50 minutes for a very basic meal to arrive, and everything was cold. What I suspect happened is the kitchen prepared it in a timely fashion, but it sat waiting to be delivered for thirty minutes or so. Disappointing. And when it was collected for delivery, why didn't the wait staff immediately sense that something was amiss? We sent the meal back...and it was very quickly replaced with a suitably hot meal...but no apologies were made for the original careless mistake. I will continue to come to The Living Room....I like the place....but staff need to lift their game.

    We enjoyed a beautiful light lunch overlooking the iconic Opera house. The food and service were impeccable. The ambience was serene, calm and quiet enough that we could talk without loud background noise intruding.

    I was really disappointed with my recent visit to The Living Room. The food was far below the quality I expected from a 5-star hotel. It didn't meet my expectations and was more along the lines of pub food. My dining experience was also ruined by some very loud businessmen on their phones who were having a conference call while dining. They had their phone speaker on and were disruptively loud, which affected the ambiance of the restaurant. Unfortunately, the staff didn't approach them to request that they move somewhere more suitable. Overall, my experience was underwhelming, and I don't plan on returning any time soon. I hope that the restaurant can review their policies on the etiquette of dining and take corrective measures to create a more pleasant experience for patrons.

    For a restaurant that says smart casual, little annoyed we went the extra mile to have someone sitting next to us in a rip curl shirt and shorts LOL. Honestly just felt like we didn’t need to put that much effort if it wasn’t going to be enforced. That’s a silly complaint bc overall, it was great. Menu was a bit average for the type of restaurant we were at but I’m not complaining about the best fried chicken I’ve ever had in my life. Staff were great though not super speedy. Would def come back again for the experience of a beautiful restaurant!

    We had a family lunch in the living room as the services was great and friendly. Maybe short staff as they had function and high tea going on the background and the floor staff look rushed at one stage which meant we waited quite a bit for our mains but they were still very professional and attentive to our table, but with the view from the li ING room it's quite easy and enjoyable to seat there and wait The food was above average .cured meat and cheese plate nothing out of the ordinary with only 1 style of cheese , the cured meat quite tasty The chicken pate very nice and full of flavours Our Southern chicken burger a bit on the boring side Club sandwich same a bit flat on appearance and taste So overall a good experience Thank you

    It took 40 minutes to get served. My order was wrong when it did arrive. However food was still good. I had to ask several times to just order drinks for our table. For a 5 star Hotel this was very disappointing. Would not eat there again. Or take any overseas guests.

    Outstanding - excellent food, service and ambiance. Very comfortable lounge like seating suited our girls lunch and catch up, very quiet also. Menu had a excellent range of items and price points - the all day dining times suited us rather than the usual lunch/dinner service. The view over the Harbour was beautiful. Will certainly add The Living Room to our “will return” places.

    We arrived 10 minutes early and the staff gave us a nice area to sit. My wife ordered the Fish and Chips. A few minutes later the waitress apologised that there was no more Fish and Chips. So we ordered the sashimi instead. Again, a few minutes later the waitress apologised politely that there was no more sashimi either - so she ordered the pasta. Hence, my wife had to place her order 3 times for her meal. For dessert, I ordered the Tiramisu which was very nicely done and well presented. SUGGESTION: It would be helpful to be told what is unavailable before we place our order to avoid that delay which we experienced. The delay was helped by the wonderful view of the harbour - but totally avoidable by simply being informied at the beginning what is no longer available.

    Our experience yesterday was fabulous.. The service at the porter desk outside the hotel was brilliant when we arrived in our taxi's are were escorted to the reception area. The staff were quite busy so we did wait a little while to be seated. Our table/view was excellent however the food had not been cleaned up from the previous guests. The service for drinks and food was fabulous. I love the Living Room

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Park Hyatt Sydney, and I must say that my experience at the Living Room was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly and attentive service from the staff. The ambiance of the lounge was luxurious and inviting, and the views of Sydney Harbour were breathtaking. I had the opportunity to try a variety of food and drinks during my dine, and everything was absolutely delicious. The menu had a great selection of options, and the staff were able to make recommendations based on my preferences. Overall, my experience at the Living Room at Park Hyatt Sydney was truly exceptional. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing experience in Sydney.

    I preordered champagne for my daughters 23rd birthday. I alerted the restaurant it was her birthday. No mention. Number one item Fish and Chips, not available. Birthday girl wanted carrot cake for dessert. Not available. No fan fare. Very disappointing. Then the bill got scrambled and I had to wait an additional 15 minutes for them to figure it out nearly making us late to the show at the Opera House.

    Had dinner here with friends from Sydney who were embarrassed at the poor service we received. Staff were clearly under trained and disinterested. We had to ask for a drink order, top up our own glasses, request someone to take our food order, mains came out at different times, the wine waiter had to ask staff to help him clear our table. Simply dreadful. Nice location and food was quite good but for the the price and its reputation we were extremely let down. Cafe Sydney was amazingly good, this place was dreadfully bad.

    The service was very slow even though it wasn’t very busy and there were plenty of staff. We had a booking at 7pm and told we needed to leave at 8pm. We were happy with that. Though we then had to keep chasing staff to take our order, bring our drinks, take our dessert order, ask them to clear our table after placing the dessert cutlery. Because the service was so slow we didn’t have me up finishing to 8.20pm. The food was ok, felt the standard could have been better for such a well known establishment. The views are stunning, people watching everyone on the wharf, seeing wedding photos taken, the coming and going of boats and ferrys was so relaxing and interesting to watch. The porters and doormen were excellent. Very helpful, courteous and kind.

    Very poor service, gave us a different bottle of wine from what we ordered and worse served it after the main dish so we couldn’t enjoy the wine with the meat ordered. Also ignored us for the majority of the time. Got the bill wrong and charged us more service fees than advertised. Overall very poor quality of food and service.

    We had to wait at the bar as current customers were still at table which was ok but the bar service for myself was disappointing as I had make my way to the bar to ask for service as we watched other guests get service… The meal and service at the living room was awesome but we our bill had to be corrected as we were over charged by $100. This was Xmas day as well.
