    Lovely spot, but the ambience is spoiled by a live singer (this is a regular feature). It’s a small space and conversation can’t compete with an amplified performance.

    After visiting Doyle's for many years ,i was very disappointed with the service as it has been reduced to that of a local pub or club. The food was quite ordinary and not how i remember it. I found the staff not really engaged with me or my guests. I will think twice before visiting again .

    Booking was easy and accurate. Management was co-operative in shuffling to a better possy on the prom, bar staff smart and helpful. Great. But seafood was mostly typical Doyle's deep fried fare, fresh, not cheap. Then, when you've got that landmark location, and a sunny afternoon ...... well.

    We last went to Doyles about 10 years ago and it was just as good as we remembered. The location is fantastic, the food was delicious, and the service was great. This is a must stop place to visit during a visit to Sydney. Thank you.
