평쫌울 꼮 믿웅생용 쟁발.강성 졍쳥럼 됸냥뷔항쥥 말앙형 Today's dinner was the worst I've ever had. It was my first time experiencing such tasteless, barely edible pasta. When ordering, my partner and I chose the kingfish entree and a pasta as a sub-main. However, when the waitress questioned if that would be enough, we explained that this was our second restaurant of the evening and we had already eaten a bit elsewhere, so it should suffice. The kingfish we received was overwhelmed by parsley, making it impossible to taste anything else, and the final pasta had absolutely no seasoning on the noodles. The essence of pasta lies in the flavor of the noodles, but this was truly shocking after just one bite. The pork neck, pasta, and sauce were all disjointed. We must have come in with too high expectations because we even planned to try the tiramisu afterward, but we decided to skip it after this disappointment. Oh also, among casual fine dining establishments, this place is probably unique in not even providing any description of the dishes they serve.
I had a fantastic pasta here. I can taste the pasta is freshly made. Bread rolls also freshly baked, however the butter is out of this world! You can’t go wrong for pasta and rolls as Italian restaurant. Not only that, the veal was also fantastic. This is one of the place that I will definitely come back. Sorry I forgot to take photo. We ordered: rolls with butter, strozzapreti, veal and beer. All fantastic!
Outstanding lunch today at Restaurant Leo. Staff were kind enough to bring a high chair out for our baby and drag over an umbrella to give us shade during our outdoor lunch. Food was delicious. Not your typical “Spag bol” kind of Italian, but also not pretentious/fine-dining - a happy medium of amazing entrees of Beef Tartare and Kingfish, and perfectly made pasta dishes. Unfortunately I was too full to enjoy dessert (and I had to rush back to the office), but I would happily recommend and return here. And for the love of God, order the bread.
This is a really cute place with great food and wine choices. T bone steaks were cooked well with lots of sides and app choices. They encourage you not to use your phone though, even taking it and locking it away for you, to encourage being present in your experience I think; some people like that, but I hated it. They let me hold onto mind, just didn't want me to use it in the restaurant.
Great experience and place to eat if you love a good steak. It’s t-bone style but the portion is huge for a great price. Had the gnocchi and pecorino with truffle honey to start, was tasty. The side we ordered for the steak was the eggplant Parmesan and it was my personal favorite. Love the concept of phones away from the table and the atmosphere in the restaurant is incredible!
Worst experience ever, it was our Valentine night and we were so hungry, ordered a veg pizza, pizza came with a ton of cheese, since we were so hungry, we had to eat just bread from the pizza. There was nothing in pizza apart from cheese, cheese and cheese. If we wanted cheese pizza then we would have ordered it. Attached leftover cheese photo.
I won’t recommend going to 3 Monkeys, and I won’t be going again after since a bad experience.

Easy to get last minute noon reservations for lunch time. Their bread and butter was unique, a candle melts the butter. They say phones are not allowed because they want you to enjoy the foodand you're supposed to put it in a box so all these other reviewers with food pictures are breaking rules 😤 They slice the t bone steaks and cook it close to all the tables so you can see them at work which was cool. Got our steak medium rare and it was amazing. Best Florentine style steak I've ever had. Since the cuts are thick, they're harder to cook correctly and are generally more on the rare side so bravo to Bistecca. Highly recommended for a good t bone steak
Been here a while ago.
Like a lot of other steak houses in Sydney they ask you to give them your phone, so you won’t see pictures on reviews here.great steak cut to your preference of size. Super high quality, professional service. Nice twist with the dipping butter for the bread that comes in the form of the candle and his wax melting is your bread add on:)

Dining Experience @ 3 Wise Monkeys Pub.
.
Ambience channels a traditional pub vibe. The sturdy wooden furniture and dim lighting lend atmosphere, while the window seats allow you to watch the world go by.
.
Service is a little aloof, with minimal interaction. Staff work quickly in cleaning up and serving orders, and security is polite. The menu has clear descriptions, but there's little opportunity for staff to demonstrate product knowledge.
.
Food is traditional British English pub grub. Taste and quality are slightly above average, while portions are large and hearty. Prices are reasonable, budget about AUD $35 per person.
.
The Fish And Chips (AUD $23) has freshly battered boneless fillets of barramundi fish, golden brown and crisp crunchy outside, flaky moist inside. Has lovely sweet savoury salty flavour.
.
There's a fresh mesclun salad of crisp baby spinach, crunchy red onions, juicy zucchini, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crisp chard, dressed with balsamic vinegar, carrying vegetal earthy sour tangy zesty sweet herbal bitter flavour.
.
Completed with fluffy crisp potato chips with starchy salty savoury flavour.

My husband and I had our reception here last year. We went for chill, cocktail/canape vibes with dancing later and the events team were amazing in ensuring our vision came to life. We were given plenty of options and ideas for what we could do, we had consistent communication with the events manager and had a number of inspections to ensure the set up was to our liking. On the night, the staff were also very helpful and had a designated person to liaise with our MC for the finer details so we could enjoy our night. We had so many compliments and positive feedback about the staff and the food from our guests and parents (especially the lamb skewers and salt and pepper squid). Highly recommend for a reception/party!
Nice enough atmosphere and typical cafe prices. However, ordered 'scones', strongly implying a serving of 2 scones. What I got was two miniature scones easily falling short of a single regular scone in total size. Pretty disappointed.
We really enjoyed the Rump and Chicken Parmi; both meals were generously portioned and delicious! Highly recommend! One of the best meals we've had in the region.
Great pub, music and dancing up stairs. Staff are friendly and helpful. The food was good, hot and plentiful. ( have ti say I have never had chip/fries that crispy, absolutly fab). Would definately recommend the venue for drinks or for eatung. During weekdays the menu lists a dish of the day.
Great place to visit, lots to see, great food , music and many restaurants all around!
Wonderful experience and food, can't wait to visit again!
Ushered into the dining room where we promptly placed our phones and other belongings in a locked box, we had the front seats to watch steaks being sawed and cooked on the grill. We were served our drinks (mmm), given an edible candle with some mop bread, while we decided on the gnocci to start (delicious), 800g of the steak (medium-rare and sliced up) for us two to share (so so delicious!) with gratin on the side, and the Tiramisu (so tasty) to end. We were so full and satisfied by the end.

Great food and drinks! We had a really nice experience with the young female waiter, she was helpful and welcoming! Unfortunately the guy at the bar- curly hair, glasses, wasn’t friendly or welcoming at all… maybe get a job out of hospitality buddy! Apart from him we had a great experience
Pretty atmosphere, and cool drinks. however slow service and bad communication between staff even when it wasn’t busy.
Great rooftop bar. Nice space. Beautiful.views.
Decent enough menu.

Lovely little beer garden in the heart of the city. Great food and plenty of drink options.
Ordered soba noodle salad, not bad, but just wish the noodle to be a little bit warmer, not ice cold, will be much better.
Such a scam this place is. there is this guy on 19/12/23 at 6.30pm, making espresso martini is nightmare. The taste is no good and even though you pay heaps, he prepared the coctail half a glass and when i told this he was just not accepting and giving you excuses. No good. Dont get coctails from here. Go for beer if you have. Dissapointment!! Look at this cocktail!!
Very disappointing café. The prices were reasonable. The food was good though the selection was limited. However, the biggest issue was the dirty state of the dining area, along with the pigeons that were flying around inside the building, picking up abandoned food and throwing it all over the place. The café staff were quite polite, however, they seem so shortstaffed they were unable to keep up with the mess which the pigeons took advantage of. Again, this wasn’t in the outdoor seating area but inside the building. Quite unsanitary that pigeons are walking and picking at food on the tables, and then another family would sit down and eat at the same.
Super nice food, have been here many times. Best sashimi and wagyu beef.
Interesting sports bar that shows a variety of sports, and has a good variety of dishes in their menu to suit most tastes. Relaxed atmosphere, good place to hang out & catch a game. +1 for having Guinness on tap. They get a very international crowd as well.
The beef was $180 a kilo. To make it sound better the menu says $18 per 100g. Their website doesn't say it's dry aged, for that price it should be dry aged. A Bistecca in Singapore dry ages. Sadly, the only photo that I can show you is the front door which is a fire escape. Inside they took my phone away. It was stressful and controlling. I felt like a sheep being rushed through service, I was first herded to the bar to order drinks and then led to the restaurant table. I felt coerced because even though they don't explicitly make it mandatory I felt pressured. I couldn't take photos of the food or have selfies with friends (one of their gimmicks). I believe a restaurant should trust it's customers and be confident with people taking photos of the food, but alas there are only the glossy manicured photos on their website. The bread dipped in beef candle wax was gimmicky. Gimmicky accurately describes this place. I read on their website afterwards that they only do the steaks medium rare, but I recall the waiter giving options and then glossed over to medium rare. I didn't feel that I had a real choice. The beef was left to rest but I didn't like getting warm meat, I like the meat hot. I felt like I was in a garish hyper Italian restaurant theme park "experience". I wasn't there for an "experience", I was there for a business lunch, which meant it wasn't realistic for me to leave to find somewhere else. I didn't choose the venue and having experienced it I won't return. The gimmicks wore off very quickly. Even the fire escape entrance was gimmicky. Plus the steak being the star of the show didn't have a nice wood fire grill taste even though it was grilled in their open kitchen in full view. I guess I wasn't happy with the "experience" so it affected my appreciation of the food.
Wonderful and beautiful lunch at Ragazzi. Staff was friendly and food was delicious. As expected, free still water was provided as per standard in Sydney.
Have been trying to get a sitting at Bistecca for quite some time now and our first dining experience last night did not disappoint! You’ve lived up to to all the hype and we will certainly come back for more! Thanks to all the wonderful staff for creating such a great experience.
Great view and great restaurants.
We had our work party here over the weekend, and it was such a great venue. The staff were so professional and well presented. Would recommend booking your next party here. Kelli is also an amazing events manager helping you every step of the way.
Located near Wynyard station, this is an amazing quiet spot for a special dinner. They only serve T-bone steaks but they are amazingly done. You can also order sides and all tasted great. Service and venue was also great (they also make you put your phones away in a draw while eating). One call out is that you need to book a few weeks in advance before you go. Recommended.
Amazing fancy cafe, beautiful seating area. The prices were very low for the crazy quality of food and service. Food came so quick I thought it was someone else's order but it was wasn't!!! 5/5 must go and try all their yummy desserts
Came for a quick coffee and cake with Mum during a visit to the AGNSW.
We were kindly seated to our table outside and given an option of where we wanted to sit.
We were also provided options on how to order - either via QR code at the table or inside at the counter.
Our coffees and cakes came out promptly. Coffee was really good and cakes were nice. I had the orange and bee pollen cake and Mum had the black Forrest. Both had lovely flavours.
I asked our waiter for table water and I was directed to the self service inside the restaurant (I don’t generally like this approach). But, overall I can’t fault the cafe. I will definitely return.

I ordered the filetto di manzo and it was delicious - the portion was spot on and it was cooked exactly as requested. The tiramisu wasn't quite traditional but still very tasty. Overall the service was outstanding and I would recommend this place for a lunch or dinner on a special occasion.
Absolutely delicious pastas and starters! Pasta portion sizes are more decent than other fancy Italian joints I’ve been to. It’s just decent good Italian food. The atmosphere on the other hand lacks a little bit of a vibe or ambience, but all in all a great place for some good food.
Star dishes were the lemon calamari pasta which was perfectly balanced and took our whole table by surprise, along with the crab pasta which is a clear winner for any seafood lovers. You’ll definitely be able to taste the crab throughout.

This place definitely lived up to the hype! We did the feed me menu and the food was sensational - stand outs being the beef tartare and the duck ragu. Don't underestimate the eggplant ravioli either though.
The service by our waiter Luka was phenomenal. He went above and beyond and even chose us the most delicious bottle of Italian red.
The only criticism I have was being a smaller venue the tables were quite close together and we could hear everything the man next to us was talking about so I do feel like my attention was pulled away from our conversation.

Small cozy restaurant hidden away in a quiet alley, with bar seatings. Best to make a booking as its always full. Very busy place. Crab pasta was delicious with a hint of chilli oil. The entrees were good as well. Portion is enough for sharing so that you can try more things on the menu. Service was mediocre, probably due to high traffic.
Went there for the first time tonight, went with my partner for my birthday. And what can I say, the food was downright amazing and the quality of the beef was just exceptional. The fresh scallops were so sweet and juicy. At first I was a bit worried about the food coming out a bit slowly, but honestly it was just the right speed and by the time our time was up we were full.
Only downside is the drinks I think are a little bit expensive ($4.50 for a can of coke) but overall I would highly recommend this place, one of the best Japanese bbq’s I have ever had. Just make sure you book, and pay cash to get a cheaper price :)

Had a dinner with a large group of us for my birthday. We were running late due to some issues and the staff were so understanding and lovely about it. The staff were so accommodating, sweet and funny!
We all had a few different drinks and pastas and we all were in awe! I had the Napoletana gnocchi and it was the most beautiful gnocchi I’ve had in my life honestly. Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of going!

Simple dishes made with good quality ingredients is the key to great Italian food and this restaurant delivers. Duck ragú was amazing. I will return if I visit Sydney again
My friend and I just stumbled upon this place and we thought why not. Best find I’ve had in a long time, we ordered a pasta each and two sides and everything was phenomenal. Don’t get me started on that tiramisu, my friend is Italian and she said it was hands down the best tiramisu she’s ever had!
First restaurant to visit when back in Sydney. Pasta here is delicious. It doesn't quite seem to be at the level when run by the old guard, but still really good. Smooth gnocchi in flavoursome cheese sauce, unbelievable seafood broth pasta, and a sweet spanner crab pasta. The minute steak wasn't to the level for the price, and I miss the zabaglione that used to be made at the table ... But it is all about the pasta here for me now.
Professional waiters and crisp linen. Nice

Cool pub with food, cool bar, and good beers on tap. Upstairs area for more room, friendly staff, and everything you'd like to see in a pub.
Had an amazing dining experience at Yakiniku Gyuzou! The ambiance is cozy. The menu is extensive with a variety of premium meats and seafood, alongside other Japanese delights. The Wagyu cuts were exceptionally tender and flavorful. Staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth dining experience from start to finish.
Really cool sports bar with large food selection, decent draft beers, a full bar, and lots of space. They have an inside area with an upstairs so you have plenty of room with friends.
They have a small outside area if you want some fresh air, big tvs, and very friendly staff. It's our first time in Australia and this place was a great start.

It was amazing! Starting with Rebecca who was so lovely and friendly with us. They also let us try new cocktails which were amazing and the whole staff was lovely. Excellent place to catch up with friends, beautifully decorated and comfortable (big lounges) I would recommend 10000%
Also, they open at 1pm :)

We just had to grab a booking for our latest Sydney trip after hearing it was amazing, and boy, it did not disappoint.
The starters were superably seasoned and got us excited for the meal to come. We added the raw beef, corn and black miso, almond (second pic) as a last-minute order and thank god we did because that one bite was absolute textural and umami heaven. All the pastas were generously coated in sauces that were rich and unctuous. Each dish was unique but so ridiculously flavoursome. Our favourite pasta dish
had to be the crab concliglie. There were
proper chunks of crab swimming in that velvety sauce. The cacio e pepe was perfect in its simplicity. Would recommend for a fabulous pasta feed!!

My first time coming here. The staff were rude and unwelcoming, always staring at you and just basically dismissive. The food was cold when we got it and the drinks were so expensive compared to other pubs and wasn’t even that good (used low grade alcohols). The bartenders seemed all over the place no routine. Although, this one security guard was the worst; no professionalism, very abusive behaviour and language, very angry (seemed like he was trying to hold back from hitting you when he talked to you) when dealing with customers. Got physical before communicating showing he didn’t know how to properly deal with a situation in a professional manner. Honestly, the atmosphere just felt stuffy and like a trap house. The staff members just didn’t seem like they cared or wanted to provide good customer service. Would definitely not go here again.
Absolutely incredible Italian restaurant. I came here last night for my Wife’s birthday and everything was outstanding.
The food was brilliant. I love pesto pasta and I asked our wonderful waiter if the chefs could make it as it wasn’t on the menu and they did. It was spectacular!!!!
I haven’t had pasta like that since I was in Italy.
We were served by Davida a lovely Italian man from Sardinia who made sure my Wife was looked after in every way.
My wife is pregnant so she wanted a Mocktail that again wasn’t on the Menu and Davida made sure she got something yummy.
Machiavelli is slightly more expensive than most Italian restaurants, however this is completely justified as the presentation of the food, service and taste is clearly a cut above the rest.
I have been all over the world and this has to be one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.
Davida was a brilliant waiter that was thoughtful, caring and completely assertive making sure we had a wonderful time.
I thanked our Chefs as we left and they were too lovely gentlemen.
I will be back!

Recently visited this Japanese BBQ spot and was completely blown away! The quality of the meat was top-notch, and the flavors were authentic and rich. The staff was friendly and guided us on how to properly grill each cut. The ambiance added to the overall dining experience, making it feel like we were in Tokyo. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese BBQ experience!
A great hidden gem. Lovely rooftop bar with great food and cocktails. The servers was also very friendly. Very instagramable.
First up, cash is king. On a Sunday for all you can eat we paid 80pp cash (88 for card).
We are not big eaters so the first dishes of all cuts were decent quality (saying there may be not so good quality on the repeats on the other reviews). Makes sense as the first is usually the most photographed.
Sashimi and nigiri were heavy handed on the rice to fish ratio compared to a Japanese sushi bar but very good quality for 80pp.
Overall good value for money variety wise and highly recommended even if it's not quantity you're selling but quality selection.

We love yakiniku in Japan and decide to give this a try. We had the buffet $80 pp. The beef although wagyu is not always the best. The best cuts I found here was the karubi and the short rib. Short rib was marblelised and cooks quick on the grill, very yummy and meets my criteria of what a wagyu is. The karubi is not consistently good, it depends what piece they give. The rest of the beef was just average. Quite like having the sashimi and sushi options. Sashimi was the best here, big pieces and fresh. Everything else was just ok. Ice cream was amazing however, love the sesame and matcha flavour.
Overall experience is good but not outstanding. Enjoyed only some of the items but not all.

Ordered the mafaldine and conchiglie pasta and they were so so good!! Paired the pastas with lemon lime bitters and the citrus complements the seafood and the creaminess of the pasta so well 🤌🏼
We also got the cantabrian anchovy on sourdough but wasnt really a fan of this cuz the sourdough wasnt hot/toasted and was a bit stale.
For dessert, the waiter recommended the mille-feuille and it was a 10/10!! So flaky and creamy, and the dulce with the apples was just perfect!!
The ambiance was so nice too! Really such an intimate and beautiful space.
Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the items on their menu! 🤩

This is my very first all five star review. Food is good, very reasonable price, great service and terrific atmosphere. Very nice renovation, food are hot and quick service. Particularly appreciate the lady service us was very professional, she was always looking for any customer need anything and fill water and smile was always there
Best plate of pasta I've tasted in Australia so far. Highly recommend over ordering because you'll be surprise how much you are able to fit in your tummy when every bite is so delicious.
It's a cool, tiny place with great hospitality and cosy seats.

Been here several times for various work events and birthdays and have always had an amazing experience.
Staff is super friendly and food delicious. Special shout-out to bartender, Oliver who goes out of his way to make sure the group is having an enjoyable time.

Beautiful location for sunset drinks & snacks before theatre 💞 service was good a bit lacking on menu knowledge when asked. Treated the family to a special tasting of different plates & drinks .
Cocktail was overrated lacking any wow factor Rockstar tiny glass , bubble burst within second of arrival no time for pic . Spectacular views great photo ops a little bit special nothing like a great roof top bar even surprised me with a birthday treat with sparkler & happy birthday sang feeling the 💓 totally recommend for a cute cocktail 🍹 & nibbles romantic setting 👌👍

The staples aren’t what they used to be…the antipasto wasn’t as vibrant and interesting (and already pre-prepared according to our waiter) and the “Steak Diane” is (a) no longer cooked in the restaurant, it comes from the kitchen (b) is far tougher and no longer the velvety soft meat it used to be; and (c) while still including the ingredients, the taste lacks the sweetness of the fried garlic and savouriness of Worcestershire it once had.
While still an enjoyable dining experience, RIP to the pillars that held Machiavelli aloft.

Very nice place with amazing view with many cafe and restaurants. Nice to walk around
This is is one of the best party places in Sydney. Luckily my office is on the International Tower also known as 3 sisters.
You can come here anytime and enjoy on the cafes and just walk on this pavement. If you are here for the first time, you are definitely going to love it.

If you have a friend that loves food and Italian food, then they've probably (definitely) mentioned Ragazzi by now (if not a long time ago).
So for a novice culinary enthusiast such as myself (and many of you reading this review because let's face it, sometimes letting Google reviews make the decision for you is easier) - yes Ragazzi lived up to the hype.
The flavours were bold and the beauty was really in its simplicity. Sometimes less is more, but it requires that much more skill to be able to pull it off. There's nowhere to hide if you don't deliver. Fortunately, these guys know what they're doing and cranked out some monster dishes.
Standout dish: the Jerusalem artichoke ravioli took top spot for the night.
Between four we shared: 4x pastas, 2x entrees, 2x greens, 2x bottles of wine (great selection too) plus a 10% tip, bringing the bill to $498 in total.
Book in advance but no need to rush getting a reservation, I don't think they will be going anywhere anytime soon.

Such a beautiful location and more dining / drinking options than I could possibly mention. Take your pick and settle in for a relaxing lunch or just a drink with friends. Watch the ferries come and go and people- watch as you soak in the Sydney sunshine. This area gives you the "holiday vibe" even if you're not on holiday. Definitely worth a visit.
Place is good, the pizza as well and they have Guiness beer. Only issue here its always is too busy and crowded dont go if would you like to stay chill out cause its too noisy and youll couldnt talk
Normally here was fine for bar area, but 'the Worst customer service' I ever had in VIP lounge. I went there 04/08 Friday night around 12am. The staff was super rude and also she didn't do her duty.
We had a delightful time at Ragazzi. The pasta dishes were fresh and pleasant with wine pairing. Service was very attentive, but at times overbearing. Casual atmosphere made for a fun night out.
Had the 2.0 loaded fries, chicken bacon and Mmmm it was good. Service was OK, QR puck at the tables where you scan and it's all done virtually. Picked my food n drink and paid all on the app, super convenient. Atmosphere was nice enough was there during the slow time so not much going on, stayed at the lower level only so was nice and simple.
Great place to watch live sports while having one meal. Just don't try to get in with high visibility not allowed. The food was pretty standard pub food nice and a good serving.
I highly recommend this all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue restaurant. The quality of the various Wagyu beef options is excellent, and there are hardly any competitors at this price point. The sashimi is also delicious, with a strong recommendation for the raw beef, which has fantastic texture. The eel rice and sushi is also quite good. Additionally, they offer several flavors of ice cream, all of which are enjoyable.
Please note that beverages are not included in the buffet, but they do provide tap water. Cash payments receive a discount, and the best deals are usually available during weekdays' lunchtime. It's advisable to make a reservation on their website, as I once walked in at noon and was told they had no available seats until 3 pm!

Got the tasting platter and 2 cocktails as an add on for our hotel booking. When we arrived and give our voucher to the waitress she scoffed and sighed. About 20minutes later she came back and told me I couldn’t have the cocktail I ordered but I could have anything else. I chose something and she said not that either. Eventually I got a cocktail. It wasn’t busy and the service was slow and boarderline rude. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was average.
It's a solid 4. You get what you expect here.
Menu selection is slightly restricted as it is only a small interior cafe, not a full restaurant. Limited to breakfast style options. Pricing a little high for the portion sizing, however you are eating inside the Art Gallery and so; to be expected.
The service was extremely fast surprising due to the amount of people dining in. A slight failure was an iced mocha that turned into an iced latte by the time it reached our table.

We’ve been dining at Machiavelli’s for many years and our most recent experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The waiters were amazing and went out of their way to look after us. .For starters we enjoyed delicious zucchini flowers and calamari followed by traditional and authentic Italian parmagiana, saltimbocca, duck, homemade ravioli and fillet mignon cooked to perfection accompanied with a delicious peppercorn sauce. A must is their creamy mashed potato. It was so smooth and creamy -and leaves you craving for more. Dessert comprised of traditional tiramisu, raspberry gelato, affogato and crème brûlée. We left feeling very content, happy and full. It’ was the closest thing to dining in Italy and I highly recommend it.
Great Italian food and substantial servings. A bit on the rich side, though full of flavour.
The homemade pasta makes a big difference to the texture of the tagliatelle.
The atmosphere is surrounded by famous celebrity portraits of businessmen and politicians. Lots of deals are made in this underground restaurant.
Service is outstanding and equivalent to a wedding reception.

Honestly have no complaints for this place! The venue is stunning (but small so definitely book), and the menu has lots of variety!
The service is attentive and we were seated, served and received our food super quick. The coffee is great and the food is yummy!

The food was great and really yummy. The service is 0/10 no customer service at all except the 1 lady on the second floor, mid hair length she is helpful and smiling.
The other lady who have a long hair, a bit curly at the bottom was so rude, unhelpful, no smile, not friendly at all. So expect the rudeness of the staff, when you dine in here. Even though the food was great it will affect your mood and appetite because you will not received any good customer service here in this restaurant. I hope a little customer service will apply here soon.

My friend & I had a rest over a pot of tea & coffee which came out pretty promptly considering how busy they were. However, after only one cup of tea the teapot was empty of hot water. So when my friend asked for extra hot water we were advised that it would cost extra - just for hot water- yet they offer cold water for free! Go figure!!????
My cappuccino was ok, a bit on the weak side for my liking.
A One star rating based on the ridiculous charge for hot water.

We were served by Kat who was an absolute star! She was super friendly and made us the tastiest drinks we’ve ever had - we will definitely be coming back! The pasta and pizza was also delicious, such a wonderful night.
Quite a large range of restaurants along the wharf. It was a nice palce to walk around since it was quite wise so it wasn't too hard to get around even though it was busy.
Great beer, food and atmosphere. Has several giant screens to see sports games, sound is a bit loud but it's a pub. Centrally located in a very good and safe area of Sydney Central.
There is not such a thing as a rooftop. The place it’s too crowed at evening and completely empty by night. There is no Australian food as they described and I found a little bit hostil the bartender. The first floor premises are nice and clean and it has windows for street view.
A fancy bit of Sydney right here. Lovely restaurant, truly a tidy little place. We can for mother's day dinner and was very satisfied.
The flavours were all very clean, exquisite and left you wanting more. Particularly the veal main, the heirloom tomatoes and the zucchini flowers were quite delicious.
We also went with the cod, the beef shin and the beef tartare. Very well portioned. Very well presented.
Staff and service were great. Can't fault them. Perfect atmosphere for the night for a couple or a family outing.

Great atmosphere, especially in the roof top bar and enjoyed the food and drinks. Very friendly service too.
Delicious Italian food.The tagliatelle with Scampi was to die for! Wine was a little pricey, but a great selection. Staff were lovely. Will def recommend and return.
Had the best time here! The cocktail range is so fun and interactive. Tasty, too! Love the rooftop vibes and the heated pool is a bonus. Would definitely visit again. @ahungryhalfie
Is get to see 👀 Sydney came back to life, King Wharf was busy with happy 😊 people enjoying themselves!
The place were cozy, great ambiance, a bit intense on their sound system but was a good one though. We ordered Rump steak Medium rare and Chicken wings in buffalo sauce however it came a bit longer than expected although it was not so busy! The steak served medium well though but the wings was perfectly fine. Good place to visit and we’ll definitely come back.
Stopped in for lunch today and was pretty happy with the overall experience.
Staff were friendly, drinks cold, food tasted good and was promptly served. Note my schnitty was ordered without chips.

Absolutely amazing food, wine and services. Not one dish disappoints!!! The wine is also amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and lovely. The food is just impeccable. I would say one of the best restaurants in the CBD. Be crazy if anyone leaves bad comments for this GEM!
Lined with plenty of restaurants with great views over Darling Harbour and the wharf with docked boats, this is a great place to stop to grab a bite and enjoy the view.
If you want to take a cruise, there's private charters available for hire for functions and parties, as well as general cruises which also include ones where you can enjoy a meal or high tea.

Cheers has been a major pit stop for many of us over the years and through it’s temporary evolution of the 80 Proof spinoff, we rediscovered a great underground venue space that hosts a lineup of entertainment from stand up comedy to hip hop crew dance-offs to corporate functions. So it’s nice that it goes back to basics with what we loved most about it - Sport, Entertainment and Hearty food. Currently there is a streak of Asian in some of the dishes which makes sense, but all our old faves are still there.
THE HAWKER PLATE is a mixed grill of pork belly slices and southern fried chicken. Its a great example of how it’s menu has streaks of Asian influence through it, as it shares the board with Thai/Malaysian street style peanut sauced Satay Chicken sticks - a welcome addition.
THE VERMICELLI NOODLE SALAD takes you Vietname with the crunch from the bean sprouts and kick of slight chill and coriander with battered sliced fish through it!
Mate had the NY BURGER: (Quote) "I went the double bacon cheeseburger and wasn't dissapointed. Not my preferred cheddar, prefer the American, but the beef and bacon were good. Bun was soft. Again, my dislike of sweet caramelised onions on a beef burger was apparent to me. Chips although basic were well seasoned.” - I love caramelized onion so this burger would have been up my alley, but I was very pleased with my choice!
Lucky enough to be served by the manager himself, Mark and very personable character with superfast delivery times from the (I peered in) small kitchen! It’s like magic I tell ya!!!
This isn’t just for NRL, EPL, UFC fans as there’s a great mix of sports lovers, carefree and corporates that come through setting a really relaxed and funky vibe to the place!
