The steak was excellent. The second best dish was the vegetarian with the zucchini. The fish was on the dry side though. I would rate the food and service as four stars but the amount of noise completely ruined the experience. Especially the wines were well presented, but it was extremely hard to hear what was being presented.

What a great restaurant! Guests aren’t crammed in like sardines, and are spaced well apart from the next guests. The food is always interesting and thoughtful without ever being entirely what you expected. We loved the service. One of the best meals I’ve had in Sydney.

A premium one-of-a-kind dining experience in Sydney that you should try it you can at least once. Famed for everything being cooked over a wood fire, everything was delicious, fragrant and a marvel to admire. We visited on Valentine's day for their four course lunch menu and while it's certainly upmarket pricing, I feel it's well deserved in the amount of skill displayed and the service provided. Each course was elegantly plated and balanced in flavour profile. Ingredients were cooked to perfection such that they maintained their innate flavour but were imparted with a smokiness from the fire, yet not overcooked or overdone. The steak was a true highlight - simple but incredibly delicious and precisely medium rare. Staff were super polite and attentive, making sure we always got a change of cutlery after each course, table crumbs were wiped away and drinks were topped up. Lastly, the open kitchen is a thing of beauty and was great to admire as we dined. A blend of rustic and modern with each spark of flame.

3 stars – Good staff, but timing and service need serious improvement We had a 20:30 reservation but weren’t seated until around 20:50 because the previous guests were running late. I understand that things can get busy, but even getting drinks took quite a while after being seated. All the waitstaff were lovely and polite, which I really appreciated. However, the pacing of the meal was extremely slow. By the time three dishes were served, it was already 21:40, and each course seemed to come out roughly every 30 minutes. We didn’t finish until around midnight. The food itself is quite heavy, so the long gaps made the whole experience feel exhausting. One more issue — when choosing a wine, I mentioned I was deciding between two options. The sommelier went to check, then came back saying one of them was incorrectly priced on the menu (listed as 118 but actually 328 or something), so we ended up going with the other option. Honestly, that didn’t feel right. Overall, while the staff were great, the timing and service flow really need improvement. Unfortunately, I don’t think I would return.

Really excellent atmosphere and service! My family liked the food. Some found it very rich. As a vegan, the menu was disappointing (repeated vegetable elements, flavours, dessert had a savour cream element I couldn’t stomach) but I also understand I’m not the target audience
