Will be honeymooning in The Rocks as well as port douglas. I have pretty basic taste in food (Chicken, pasta etc) Any suggestions as to where to dine or drink?

In The Rocks, definitely stay away from Sailors Thai. The food is OK but not terribly authentic and it is the most ridiculously priced Thai food I've ever had (AUD38 for one dish, average price in Sydney would be about AUD10).
There are some nice restaurants in East Circular Quay (ie a short stroll from the Rocks around the harbour - go past the ferry terminals and head toward the Opera House). Can't think of the names of any I've been to there but there is a whole row of restaurants with tables on the waterfront where you can sit and watch the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and the ferries whizzing by (just choose on which suits your budget as they're all pretty good).
An evening harbour cruise would also be nice. They usually have a seafood buffet or something and you can find ones that do have jazz nights etc.
In Port Douglas, there is a place on Macrossan Street (ie the main street) that does great wood fired pizza. Can't think of it's name but it is a little whole-in-the-wall place that mostly does take away but which has a few tables on the sidewalk (it's not far from Coles heading toward the beach).

Any of the pubs have OK food, Phillips foot is OK the best is the rock pool. to drink any of the pubs, hero of Waterloo is the oldest pub in Australia and the orient is OK too. about 5 blocks away is the basement it has a meal and jazz and is pretty good(book ahead)
about 10 block away in china town is good chinese food , yum cha at lunch is worth the effort at the marigold on George street is good.
no idea about port Douglas

Sydney is pretty expensive. Try and eat away from the tourist places like the rocks.

You have to go to Pancakes In The Rocks! They make the best pancakes ever.

Both are tourist traps, with lots of restaurants. You will find something when you arrive.
