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 !

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.

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.

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!
