Solo dinner while in Sydney on business.Warm upmarket bistro feel. Classic decor.Service is very good.Menu is one of those where you could eat most meals. I tried the porchetta which was excellent - how they got the crackling so crispy yet light I donât know.Soufflé to start was delicious too - light yet powerful in flavour.Great wine list - enjoyed a half bottle of one of my favourite Pinots.Prices are not over the top and great value.Very unassuming venue for one of Sydneyâs top restaurants (in my opinion)

Had dinner here on a Monday night ... restaurant was almost empty so lacked ambience and decor needs some updating as a bit dated. Had a wagyu rump ... was good but not memorable. Service was attentive as you would expect for a quiet night. Overall itâs OK but is in need of something to make it memorable. Respectable prices though. Not bad, not great ... average.

I went here with a group for a work dinner. It was a Friday evening so expectedly busy. The service was disjointed in the beginning being slow to offer drinks, explain the menu, bring drinks, and bread etc. After a slow start, the service mostly flowed, although my friend is still waiting for her cup of tea.The meals are nice, possibly a little too try hard to be trendy. portions are tiny, so a four-course meal for $115.00 is actually the equivalent of a tapas menu. Presented nicely, and tasty enough, with some unique ingredients. The view is great and for visitors to Sydney, it really showcases our beautiful city.

Reviewed By FBreview24
We went for lunch at this very expensive restaurant. Although the food was moderately tasty it was very overpriced. We ordered the scampi which was MP on the menu. They did not tell us the price and proceeded to charge us $40 per tiny half of scampi. When we addressed the issue when the bill came the staff said they couldnât help us. Although the manager was apologetic, he said the owner was working in kitchen and refused to discuss the prices. Super disappointed in this restaurant and definitely will not be back.we tried many dishes at this restaurant and none of them worth the price.Hello There,Thank you for posting a very unfair review. The above doesnât not match with your comments made in the restaurant today. Let me get one thing straight with you. No one likes people who lie!You ordered a pasta dish with JUMBO SCAMPI at 900 grams with salmon pearls at $160. You enjoyed every bit of your meal up until you received the bill. We did give you a discount of $10 off the price. Even though we did not have too! We sold many many scampi and pastas at this price and we only had compliments, just like you had given today! Obviously you do not eat at this type of High end restaurants in Sydney and when the menus states MP it means the market moves up and down. Otto in the city have lobster pasta at MP and that is charged at $250 when you ask the waiter. We do not tell the price as people find it offensive. If you were concerned about the price, before ordering ASK the waiter the price. We treat all our patrons with respect. Today we respected you by giving you a discount but you cannot expect to have JUMBO SCAMPI for FREE!Therefore you are not welcome to return to my humble restaurant because how you treated my staff who work very very hard to please our very much respected customers. We wish you all the very best to find scampi cooked to perfection overlooking the Sydney harbour with well mannered managers and passionate people. .

Took a business guest to pendolino. Please note there are two pendolinos on the top floor of the strand. one is called La Rosa by Pendolino on the Pitt st side. we were booked in Pendolino. Even though we were Seated in the corner, Wait staff were very attentive. There are 2 courses, 3 courses or an express lunch option., or order ala carte. Drinks were good. After orders were placed we were introduced to their olive oils and breads as well as canapés - olives, and snacks as appetisers. Entrees were amazing - scallops, cannoli, the mains we had agnolotti which was delicious. Christian provided excellent service. Highly recommended for a special event or business meal.

Mantecato is the name given to the final, vigorous whisking-in of butter - an essential technique in making risotto. One of the secrets is in the rice itself: Italy's finest carnaroli grains, Tenuta Castello Carnaroli, are imported by us directly from the

Based on high TA ratings we pre-booked this small but popular caffe for an early dinner.Our food choices were well cooked traditional pasta and meat dishes and the support of locals was obvious, including take-away service. By Sydney pricing standards the food was very good value and overall we had a very good experience.

Traditional Italian Pizzeria
Reviewed By MauriceCummins
This used to be my favourite Italian. Now it was generic. We waited 90 min for Pizza! The pizza base was soggy. The pasta came for one of our guests pretty quickly. Then the salad. Then all five of us waited and waited and waited. And when we asked for the bill it never arrived. Hopefully it was just a bad night for them.

Very much looking forward to this after doing some research. Did the degustation menu which is good value at $155 for Sydney. The first three tasters were porcini crackers, nut tart and egg, porcini and tart were excellent. Next a crab and macadamia dish, very smart. The Aguachile was one of my favorites, tuna and beetroot, amazing presentation, textures and flavors. The meat agnolotti was my least favorite dish, quite oily/greasy. Hapuka was good and the lamb similar but loved the baby turnips as the side. The two desserts were stunning, would rate the White chocolate and sudachi a little ahead of the buffalo. There is value to be found on the wine list. We had a entry level chablis.The chef was on holiday but the kitchen was coping well. Friendly service from staff. The 4/5 rating is because I was a little underwhelmed as a few courses did not live up to my expectation. But certainly very good value for Sydney.
