Great place. Fantastic American style bar restaurante ambiance. Bar seating available if solo. Quality foods. We had 18 oysters and the 800g (sharing!) ribeye. The only item that fell short was the shoe string fries - I'd recommend the chef to opt for some better ones (possibly duck fried style, but realise that this might conflict with some of the food in the menu). Short, but to the point wine menu. Service was very good with lively staff. Dirty vodka martini's went well with the oysters!!. The NZ, Central Otago Pinot Noir at 99AUD is great! Great place! 5 stars in total.
Incredible food, great value and great atmosphere.
I'm a big foodie and loved the tasting menu for two $79
Every dish was great and to end a platter of small nibble dessert with a flaming creme brûlée!
Great dinner and drinks spot!
Our friend celebrate their wedding for lunch there with their banquet menu there, they nicely decorate the dessert with sparkles! The food is with fusion elements and well present, service is great too.
Went for their $70 set menu and glad that they did include their signature truffle mash in it but would be great if they can bring back their oysters and beef carpaccio back on board too! Overall was a great night.
This is a huge restaurant which has an extension menu so you can choose from a range of dishes. The dishes are aesthetic and delicious and some are really generous in portions. Service is great and staff are friendly.
The thing which pleased me the most is its ambience. It is a huge huge place with a hell lot of variety in their menu. They serve you the best sea food. The staff too is amazing.
Absolutely loved the vibes and food at Riley st garage and would highly recommend to everyone 🤩 we ordered the $85 banquet but I requested to swap out the edamame for the truffle oysters and surprisingly it was done at no extra cost!
The truffle oysters were definitely a standout of the dishes in the banquet - the sauce was rich with truffle flavour, the oysters were so fresh as well 🤤
Sashimi tacos - generous servings of fresh salmon, great flavour and crispy taco
Burrata with red capsicum - the burrata was so creamy and went so well with the bread and capsicum
Pork knuckle, greens and truffle mash - truffle mash was amazing very strong truffle flavour and very smooth. The pork knuckle was cooked and seasoned well with crispy pork crackling 🤩 and paired well with the greens and truffle mash and portion size was massive!! We couldn’t finish it all
Deconstructed lemon cheesecake - this was super fun to eat and tasted really good as well
Service was super quick too
Riley St Garage is definitely one of my favourite places to eat, the food is top quality and service is beyond amazing! ❤️🤗 We had the rib-eye which was perfectly cooked, so incredibly soft and not chewy at all 🤤 And omg I’m even exaggerating but the pork knuckle from @rileystgarage is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten!!! 🐷😍 I like to pair this with their truffle mash because it’s just so heavy duty 😂 The skin is next level crispy and the meat is sooo tender and fatty 🤤 The seeded mustard sauce is more on the sweeter side, sooo incredibly tasty! The sauce is so perfect 😭😋 This is definitely a must-have when going to Riley’s 👌
& the SMOKEY SOY TRUFFLE oysters! 🤩 These oysters are my favourite oysters ever ❤️ That dressing is everything 🤤 I’d describe what it tastes like but the name says it all, smokey, soy and truffle 🥺😩 These oysters are freshly shucked as well 🤗😍 All the other dishes were just as good, Riley’s never disappoints! ✨
What a cool place this is. My daughter and I popped in for a spot of lunch after a morning at the Australian Museum.
We got a very warm welcome and the service was slick and friendly. My daughter ordered a cheese burger and fries (she told me that it was excellent) and I ordered the pork belly ramen, which was hot and spicy.
One of the other highlights was a flaming mock-tail they made for my daughter.
Highly recommended.
I’ve loved Riley for so long. It never disappoint me. Best pock knuckle I’ve had! Very crackling!! And the pickle apple OMG this dish impress me every time and impress all the frds I bring! And wagyu! !And dessert!! Really anything you pick from the menu can’t be wrong. Love the wine collection.
4.5 ⭐️ . Tucked away in an unassuming street and what a find! I had no expectations and was blown away by the taste. The shared plates was perfect for trying a little of everything. And I think we managed to try half of the menu between us.
Highlights: the sashimi taco - unexpectedly good. Beef carpaccio - perfectly seasoned. The wagyu tri dip - so tender. The octopus - perfectly cooked, lamb shoulder - yum! Mashed potato - wasn't heavy on the truffle and I loved the sauce for the greens. I can't fault anything with the food.
Lowlights: half a star off for the one of the head servers - a smile wouldn't hurt....
Even though this spot is definitely for the meat lover, we ordered the seafood dishes. They didn’t disappoint. Highlights for me were the salmon sashimi tacos with bacon cream and ponzu truffle. A flavour sensation. As well as the sake steamed pipis and mussels. Fresh, quality ingredients made creatively! #seafood #sydneyeats
Such an amazing restaurant that provides modern Japanese & Australian fusion cuisine. Interior design and atmosphere are wonderful. Food is delicious, creative and well presented. Staffs are super friendly and professional. The whole dining experience is enjoyable. Will definitely come back again and again. Highly recommended.
We recently had our wedding reception at Riley St Garage and had the ABSOLUTE BEST NIGHT. We couldn't imagine a better reception venue. The food was amazing and the team were outstanding, some of the best hospitality in Sydney. Every single time we've visited Riley St we've left so full and happy!!
My partner and I visited this restaurant on the 11th of December to celebrate our anniversary and we were both absolutely blown away, not only by the exquisite and delicious food, but the service received was above what we could've wished for. We were served by the Japanese waitress who was so sweet and accommodating to my dietary requirements. She was so lovely and made sure that it was no problem at all. Having dietary requirements, it is not everyday you come across restaurants that are so accommodating and willing to switch items on the set menu or adjust the ingredients specific dishes to make sure you can enjoy it. Every dish that we tried that night was full of flavour and thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for providing us with such a pleasant and hospitable dining experience. We will definitely be back soon.
The food was SO tasty and the wait staff are lovely! I was served by Alice, she was very friendly and attentive. We were particularly impressed by the steak and octopus. Wait times between courses were a bit long but understandable due to staff shortages. Will be coming back :)
The whole meal we were ooing and aahing about how delicious each dish was. Sashimi was very fresh, highly recommend the pork knuckle and the dashi mash. It wasn’t a big food menu, but definitely something for everyone. Shame we couldnt try the wagyu or lamb because of mum’s dietary requirements, maybe next time.
Big drinks list.
Really happy with the service as well.
Amazing place. The food was delicious and the service even better. We have a few food allergies and Sandro explained with lots of details the menu and what we could eat. 10/10
We're definitely coming back 😊
Riley Street Garage is one of those restaurants that I would revisit again and again.
Great food, generous portion, beautiful interior decorations and a chic ambience. It has the perfect setting for a chill date night or a group celebration.
The hardest thing about my visit to Riley St Garage is to decide whether the service or the food was better... Having the set menu was not just a smart decision but also a delicious one, each plate was special, full of flavours an excellent gastronomic experience.
The rib eye, the truffle mash potatoes, the sashimi or even the baked cauliflower (and I truly hate cauliflower) each one of those was a 5 star dish...
Special thanks to Sandro, he made the experience even more spectacular.
