i had an incredible dining experience at rockpool bar & grill and it absolutely lived up to the hype. i ordered the rangers valley dry aged rib eye on the bone (800g, 53 days) and it was genuinely one of the best steaks i’ve ever had. perfect crust, beautifully pink inside, rich flavour and amazing marbling. at $260 aud, it’s a premium cut: but absolutely worth it. easy 100/10 dish. the starters were just as impressive. the freshly shucked sydney rock oysters from camden haven were immaculate: cold, briny, clean, and paired perfectly with the mignonette. solid 10/10 and easily some of the freshest oysters i’ve had in sydney. to top it off, the espresso martini was excellent:smooth, well-balanced, not too sweet, and at the price it was a great way to round out the meal. 9/10. service was polished and the atmosphere matched the elevated dining experience. if you’re after world-class steak and premium seafood, rockpool bar & grill is a must-visit. highly recommend. 👌-jerwin parker

I've been wanting to go there for ten years plus.. The building itself is incredible. We went for a boys' lunch and catch-up. Steaks are excellent, a little pricey ~$400 for the whole bill including a few beers but not something you do often!

Tried the prawns and shark bay scallops for entree - both were so good, we can’t choose which one stands out more. For mains, we had the dry-eyed wagyu eye of chuck 200g and the dry-aged hereford sirloin on the bone 400g, each were the perfect size and taste for my partner and I. Pavlova and green mango sorbet were so refreshing to finish the meal!

Ready for an incredible dining experience? Rockpool Bar & Grill, Sydney—stunning Art Deco setting, exceptional menu and wine list. Sommelier Daron picked a classic Australian Shiraz that really delivered. Impeccable service, perfectly timed courses. Huge steak selection; Erika explained cuts, marbling, flavor… and the steak arrived perfectly cooked! Beautiful plating—save room for dessert and for an added bonus, the caramel popcorn + cappuccino is a winner.

Some places stay with you, no matter how much time passes. It’s been close to 12 years since my last visit, back when they were on Bridge Street, and returning to the Hunter Street dining room felt instantly familiar. Still one of the best places in the country for steak, this is a restaurant that knows exactly what it’s doing and does it exceptionally well. We ordered four steaks and far too many sides, most of which I didn’t manage to photograph because everything landed on the table at once and I felt bad for the hungry guests on my table! Every cut was cooked to perfection, each side thoughtfully executed, and not a single element needed adjustment. There are no salt or pepper shakers on the table for a reason. Everything arrives seasoned exactly as it should be. The room is as striking as ever, from the opulent green marble and art deco details to the seamless service throughout the space. It’s refined without feeling stiff, impressive without trying too hard. The food was outstanding, but the service really stood out. Warm, polished and genuinely attentive, it’s the kind of experience that reminds you why Rockpool continues to be so highly regarded.
