Quality food overshadowed by a poor service and dining experience. Although food was fresh and flavourful, slow service let the meal down. Our entrees were fresh and delicious, but an initial mix up with the order of excess food left us feeling as if this was our fault. The wait staff were not knowledgeable about the cuts of steak, unable to properly identify the different sections of meat. Our mains came out quickly, but sides were never brought, and repeated attempts to get the attention of the staff were in vain. Luckily the food we had was enough, with a delicious selection of sauces and simple salads. When we had our plates cleared, we had exceeded the sitting time, having taken 30-40 minutes to clean the table of the mains and serve the dessert menus. Throughout the night both our own table and the tables surrounding us were left without water, and the staff were not proactive in checking. Our deserts were mediocre, very sweet with synthetic tasting gelato. The food and view will not be enough to bring us back after the service, especially considering the prices.

We came here expecting a unique, different and special food experience regardless of price and while the quality is exceptional, there is margin of improvement. The views, location and atmosphere are fantastic. The service is really professional, however the constant asking if everything was alright completely breaks the intimacy of the food experience. I believe while being professional, paying attention to the customer in a less intrusive way could provide a way more immersing experience. The food is out of exceptional quality, the steak is probably the best steak I have ever had and the fish was fresh and juicy, just on its perfect point. However while the taste and quality are premium the presentation of the dishes are disappointing and ordinary, specially the main courses. A side of fries or a bed of spinach are not impressive side dishes for a well elaborate menu. I believe the same steak or fish with a more elaborate presentation would definitely express its amazing flavour even before eating it. Finally the dessert and again while being really good cooked I feel they were simple, too sweet and too similar. The chocolate coulant (or fondue as they call it) could be way better served warm, with a melted chocolate core and with a side to contrast the sweetness. In addition, different less sweet dessert options could give customer a wider and different food experience. In a sum up the quality and taste is absolute exceptional however the variety and presentation of dishes could greatly improve the experience.
AMAZING!!! Sensational food. Seafood Steaks Sweeping views of Sydney Harbour. Something for everyone, dine in a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy a cocktail or two If I could give 7 stars I would
One of the highlight dining experiences during my recent visit in Sydney. Situated inside of The Sydney Opera House, the location is sensational but I picked this restaurant by hearing the great reputation of the dishes themselves, not by the location - so the modern, beautiful decor and the great view of the water was a great bonus! We booked just a week before but escorted to the window seat, just the edge of the yacht designed architecture. The food was excellence. Precisely cooked, the sauce was French style with original twist. Wowed the Australian style dessert Pavlova, decorated in miniature opera house shape at the end! We dined as a couple but saw a couple of groups with children.
Located in the Rocks with a view of the harbour, the restaurant is very well laid out. A number of different areas giving each it's own ambience, with a homage to the steakhouse with leather chairs, but also with a touch of industrial chic. The food and service was excellent. Each course from the Oysters, sides and through to the steaks, fresh, tasty and prepared expertly. If you are looking for one of the best steakhouses in town, look no further. The pricing does reflect the quality.
A very inviting place. Went in there for a valentines dinner and it was good. Food: The entree, mains and dessert were superb. I tried my partner’s beef and it was Amazing. I felt that it just melted in my mouth. The fish that i had was so fresh that i can taste how good it was. The oysters and scallops were delicious and fresh. Presentation: Might need a little bit of work on how food can be presented especially if it is a bit costly. Maybe the management need to revisit on how to create a nice food presentation. Place: You can see the Sydney Opera house view if sitting from outside and it was the best. Price: :)
Absolutely stunning location with views of the water and the Sydney Opera house from your table. Service was exquisite, our waiter Etienne was very friendly and very patient. The restaurant is within the heritage listed buildings with fabulous lighting offering a great scene. Steak was great, perfectly cooked, however was not the biggest fan of the broccolini, would have liked a different sauce. Be mindful of the costs, as it is a little on the expensive side, but you are paying for it through the view, service and great food. Will definitely be coming back.
The tomahawk is the best steak I have ever had in my life! It’s pricey but well worth every dollar! The sides where really good the roasted garlic mash, the salad wedge and Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese needed a bit more seasoning but was ok at best. Service was amazing and great atmosphere and view can’t go wrong with 6 head for a date night or special occasion.
