Kittyhawk

We came here for liberation hour on a Saturday afternoon, which is from 4-6pm every day they are open. What a cosy space with multiple areas. It reminded us of being back in France. The service was excellent. The prices were insane for Sydney - $6 for wines $12 for 🍸. We didn't eat as it was a bit early. A definite return visit is in the cards.

Highly recommended . Went Tuesday night and had the banquet and the hostess and waitress Helen was soo amazing! She explained the menu with ease, made us feel at home soo much that we came back the next day for lunch and had the oysters and steak. The second day we had Madison who also was amazing. Besides the amazing staff the food is exceptional and the ambiance is well worth it . I came in with my child and they made us feel welcomed and we ate and had nothing short of a wonderful experience !

Kittyhawk hosted our wedding ceremony and reception. Our ceremony was held in the Conservatory and we headed upstairs to The Officer's Mess for the reception. We had a fantastic time working with Fiona and her amazing events team who guided us through all the details and timings for the big day. Their attention to detail made the lead up to the wedding stress-free. We really enjoyed our time with our bartender to create special cocktails for our wedding and the Kittyhawk team were so accommodating with the menu, dietary requirements and keeping our guests. All of our guests were impressed with the care and thoughtfulness of the Kittyhawk team. Everybody went above and beyond what we had expected.

came during the $30 Tuesday steaks and it wasn’t too busy, but recommend to book anyway. We started of with the oysters which were very creamy and the mignonette went super well with it! The salmon tartare was nice and refreshing. It had a lot of different textures from the harder asparagus and the softer salmon, and the yuzu gave it a nice citrus touch. The baked scallops were my favourite of the night! The orange miso sauce was sooo good!!!. The lamb croquettes were okay, I think the sauce and cheese carried the dish. The olive taste in the wagyu carpaccio was a bit too overpowering for my liking, however the cheese and actual beef were nice, maybe a skip if you don’t like olives! The steak was nice and the cafe de paris sauce had a strong paprika flavour which was super good! The serving of fries was the perfect amount too and well salted. The ambience was nice with a dim lighting and old timey decor. Service was good, and waiters were very attentive!

We cannot recommend KittyHawk and the team there enough! We had our wedding ceremony and reception, and everything was so well done. The staff were friendly and service was exceptional. The food was delicious, and the cocktails were a big hit. A massive thanks to Fiona the events manager who was so easy to work with and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. We will definitely be coming back soon to relive the moment!

Excellent food, tasty cocktails and wonderful service by our attentive servers Mary and Mimi! We braved the Saturday rains to come here for dinner and weren’t disappointed at all. Definitely returning again soon

Omg I just love it here!!! The best steak of my life and it was only $30 with chips AND wine?!! What? So, so, perfect. The waitstaff were warm and attentive but not overbearing. Can’t wait to come back every Tuesday and Wednesday for the rest of time. Thank you for a wonderful night. :)

Came here on a friday night for dinner. Can definitely say the highlight was the duck shepherds pie and the scallops. Service was a tad slow, however it being Friday night, that was understandable. Quite noisy at times and it was hard to hear my partner who was sitting across from me.

Great choice to catch up for some drinks. Cocktails were fantastic. They do have a bar menu with some nibbles and a full dinner menu too. I would recommend the place for nibbles and cocktails!

Located right below a huge office building so as expected a lot of professionals around. Low lighting, wooden furnishing everywhere, and very loud as it gets quite busy. Bunch of cocktails you can choose from, it's quite a wide selection. Tommy Hellfire was really, really sour. Spiciness was ok but sourness was too overpowering and everything died in comparison. Most of the food on the menu were like pub eats, chips, roasts etc. Pie was kind of small but it tasted great. Had a complex flavour, different to the usual basic pies you can get from anywhere. Thus it was pretty pricey for a pie, especially given the size, but then again it's somewhat expected from a place like this. The chips were amazing. Cooked in truffle oil with parmesan and sage.

Drink: perfect; Food: bad; Service: okay I had the tommy hellfire to drink which was exactly what it promised, spicy! Almost too much for a drink but just pushing it right. I had the mushroom galette to eat which had no middle ground for temperature. Came out scalding hot (great) but once it was cool enough to eat the cheese tasted odd...no other way to put it, but I was worried I was going to be ill. Service was quick enough, but I was given a card, which I thought was to old in place of my credit card but then she gave me my credit card back. I swear she said to go to the bar to check out, but then was confused when I was up there. Handed the card back and she was confused again. No idea what it was for. Just said Kittyhawk and a number. Really dark inside, almost too much because I could hardly see my food. I'd come back just to drink.

Ambience of a cool kids club with booths and table service by fabulous Chloe. Try the Masu or Phillip Lane. Bring your Tinder date or your girlfriends for a great night out.

The bar and the bar staff are brilliant. I would have given this place 5 stars except the manager came over to our group of 20+ and said we were too loud with slightly light on the charm. Too loud? Wtaf? This is a BAR FFS! We weren't drinking water the whole time. We ordered food and drinks and had booked our table in advance from 4pm for a going away party. The moment it turned for me was when the floor manager asked us to "keep it down because someone had complained" we had gone "woo" when our friend who was leaving her job had her picture taken. I was offended and I certainly won't rush back to Kittyhawk ever again.

What an impressive little bar! I love dropping in after work as it's very close to my building. Come for the wine, stay for the authentic French food. In particular, the tartiflette is rich, creamy and moreish, just the way they make it in France. Classy, sophisticated but never pretentious, Kittyhawk is a hidden gem

A new entrant in Sydney's retro cocktail bar scene. Kittyhawk gives the vibe and look of US 1940s bars. Dark wood, a long sit at bar, standing room and lots of tables ( table service charges). Looks great and waitstaff dressed to keep the 40s idea going. Good news so far. Substantial menu of in house cocktail creations all round $ 19 and the usual Aussie microserving of booze. The Monte Carlo and Tanqeray martini were pleasing but small. For food we selected fries, prawns en croute and charcuterie plate. Cocktails arrived pronto but the charcuterie plate came as a rhum baba and was sent back amid confusion by the staff. The servings were tinyteeny and bland. Long wait for the charcuterie and a busboy took away all the set-ups meanwhile ! Arrival of charcuterie then a wait for more set ups. Summary: great looking venue, tasty but small cocktails with confused service and barely OK food. Style triumphs over substance again in Sydney. The bottom line: 5 people had 9 micro size cocktails with 3 dishes equals $ 220. That money didn't compute for what was had. My rating 40/100.

Fantastic atmosphere! Went with a friend on a Thursday night and it was buzzing! We only waited about 10 minutes for a table which was a pleasant surprise. The drinks list is extensive - the food menu not so much but cleverly crafted. We had the scotch eggs (OK), mussel tart (unreal) and onion soup sticks (melt in your mouth!)
