We had a $99 Groupon voucher and went for lunch today. Firstly I must say that the food was nowhere near as sparse as tengjudy (a recent reviewer op Trip Advisor) mentioned. A large serving of very nice chips, 2 butterflied very large prawns, 12 average pieces of salt and pepper squid, 6 mussels in chilli sauce, 8 baby octupi, 2 smallish kilpatrick oysters and a fillet of Dory (I suspect that the lack of a black mark on the skin meant it was mirror Dory and not John Dory as offered on the deal it does state though that menu items may change). The best thing were the flavours chilli mussels were the most complex and tasty chilli sauce I have had in a long time. The butterflied prawns also had...
Tucked away down Hayes Street and in fact almost hidden is the deliciously delightful Hayes Street Wharf Bistro.<br/ <br/ They do have a clear French influence but their food goes beyond this. Described as Modern French it has a range of influences touching its original base.<br/ <br/ The brainchild of Gavin and Natasha Tuckwell, they've found a nicely cosy location to bring their dream to life.<br/ <br/ It's clearly also a produce driven menu that stays small based on what's fresh and seasonally available and therefore it also constantly changes.
Hayes Street Wharf Bistro is the definition of a hidden gem – the inconspicuous entrance on the slope up from the Neutral Bay wharf opens up to a gorgeous little restaurant that feels like it’s from the bygone glory days of the art deco era. It’s a full house on the Friday night that we visit and there’s a pleasant buzz throughout the place. We got settled in and picked a couple of entrees and mains from the succinct menu.
Great offer of 3 courses for $60 especially when each course was so enjoyable and tasty. Lobster Entrée was beautiful with mango and delicious dressing on the salad. Main was beef bourguignon which just fell apart.. yum! Coupled with a great truffled mash, bacon and that sauce! Dessert was chocolate fondant... to die for! Cosy little restaurant away from typical busy locations. Loved it! Will definitely be back.

This gold patterned little French hideaway on the sleepy streets of Neutral Bay is a hidden gem. In an age of share plates, it was nice to settle in for a three-course-meal of continental cuisine. I started with the delightful Chicken Liver Parfait $16) with cherries, while my dining companion opted for Scallop and Crab Boudin Blanc $18) – a kind of seafood sausage, served swimming in crab bisque and caviar...
The Hayes Street Wharf Bistro in Neutral Bay describes themselves thus “It is our aim is to be a favourite neighbourhood bistro serving modern French cuisine” and they do a great job of it. It’s a friendly, good quality French bistro in the heart of Neutral Bay. Away from the hustle and bustle of Military Road the Hayes Street Wharf Bistro is located half way down Hayes Street, on the way to ferry wharf.
Came here for a casual dinner with my husband. We were keen to have some Italian/ French food. Just found the right place. Great food and amazing service. Literally everything we orders was absolutely yum. Presentation well defined : Will certainly dine again.
Great, well balanced french food except for the strange diluted lobster bisque. Decent service. Very close to the wharf for a walk before or after dinner. We used a groupon.
