Incredible experience. Food was amazing and the staff were helpful walking us through the menu. It’s a Kia for people who want to experience new ideas
The experience was amazing - bartender was a delight and great with recommendations. Interior was beautiful and loved the ambiance of the restaurant overall. The set menu overall displayed a whole variety of different meats - some were great but one or two dishes could’ve had stronger flavours. Loved the dessert at the end - perfect dish to end the (very filling) set menu.

Best spot in Sydney. Gastronomy and woodfire. Decor is amazing and the food tasty! Cocktail with woodfire touch also. Counter is the must to watch all the chefs cooking with embers and fire
What does a 169-day dry aged rib of beef taste like, cooked medium rare, over fire, and costing $200? Well, it tastes like steak, the finest steak I’ve ever eaten. The crispy burned bits of fat melt in the mouth. The meat has some give and is tender and is not fall apart or melt in your mouth; it is not that kind of meat. It is juicy. It tastes intense and concentrated. It also tastes like ‘Yum. This is worth every penny.’

Attended the venue for a birthday function, ate the chef's menu which included 12 dishes. Each dish was well thought out, paired with tantalising ingredients which made the palate dance and drool with each serving. Although the servings were quite small (more bite-size rather than food coma size) it was a nice change of pace to enjoy not only the surroundings but the atmosphere, the scents and the company i was with. Dish after dish of unusual servings left me wanting more, the wait staff were super tentative and catered to our every whim. The wagyu & cod were cooked perfectly over the open flame style cooking and it was a treat to observe the Chef at work. At the end of the night, we were surprised with a special treat of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flamed marshmellow wraps served on sticks, which was the cherry on top of the evening. As we checked there was a minor hiccup with the bill but that was easily corrected by the server, and we grabbed a quick photo in the amazing foyer before eloping. It would be best to book weeks in advance as this venue was packed to the rafters, street parking is easily achievable, if you arrive a little early there is a cool little bar serving nice drinks which will tie you over. The venue is hard to spot from the street if it's your first visit but take note of the red circle logo hanging outside of the venue, and of course, follow your nose. All up was a great treat and everyone had a great night. Will be back. Thanks for the great experience!
Honestly nothing to fault. It was a superb meal and fantastic service. The fire concept is so clever and a real talking point !
What a great place. Everything was cooked on fire and I love smokey flavours so what can go wrong? I wasn't even hungry when I got to the restaurant but got tempted into the chef's menu. Boy was I glad I was persuaded. There's also a good selection of cocktails to choose from. The service was great, the food was delicious, and the accompanying wine was on point. Highlight: the kangaroo and mini pita bread was a standout- just divine. All dishes were pretty good. Lowlights: Nothing really. My wagyu had a bit too much fat on it, but I was already full so it's OK!
They use different types of woods in the kitchen to provide the natural essence to the food. They are damn costly but the food makes it up for them. They have an amazing ambience and staff.
Absolutely brilliant food...real flavourful and cooked to perfection. It's great for meat-lovers. Best to book for weekend dinners. Place can be packed then. But with food so good and great hospitality, that's no surprise!

Amazing experience ! Attentive welcoming staff and memorable food. Would definitely recommend booking at least a week prior, to reserve a good time. I was seated at the bar right in front of the chef's working and I would recommend this for those interested in watching the process of prepping the food and finally cooking it beautifully on the flames.
Ordered half a dozen oysters to start which tasted sublime followed by grilled mackerel that was super soft. The highlight of the night was definitely the dry aged steak that we got to see Lennox cut up and cook over a wood fire. Having tried quite a few steaks in Sydney for comparison, I truly believe the wood fire and type of wood they use create such a unique flavour to the meat ! While it is slightly pricey $184 I still think it's well worth it's money.
The service staff were all very genuine in their approach of our experience. I will definitely be coming back to try the chefs menu. Also, as they change their menu I think daily according to what's best available - everyone who served our food was knowledgeable about the dishes/produce. A restaurant you must experience if you want honest fantastic food, warm atmosphere and an engaging experience !!
Finally got to try out Firedoor after many months of waiting. It didn't fully live up to expectations but that isn't to say that we didn't have a good night.
The service was unfaultable, from the moment we entered the venue until the moment we left. The servers were professional, attentive and very friendly. The restaurant and decor was charming and we enjoyed the open kitchen. I think the best seats in the house would be by the bar.
The cocktails we ordered were pretty good! The food was cooked well and tasted great but given the hype this place has received, I think it was just a bit lacking in the "wow." We added on steak to our set menu and I was a bit disappointed by it. We did end on the best dish which was dessert. Yum!
Glad we got to try it out because overall it was a good experience.
PS. Shout out to the wood-fired bread - so good!
A great evening out to Firedoor. The aroma of the woodsmoke welcomes you as you walk through the front sliding door. Amazing hospitality, cocktails spot on, dishes kept minimalistic and executed well. We got the additional squid and DB wagyu also, delicious! *chefs kiss*

Bring friends!
My wife and I FINALLY got to experience Firedoor after a COVID hiatus of about a year. The team are great there. They were super helpful with our booking and very friendly on the night. I went with the wine pairing option and would thoroughly recommend this. Their wine was on point! Especially liked the chilled dessert wine which was mixed with cherries.
But onto the food, the reason to bring your friends is that there is the set menu which can't be changed, but there are also tasty additions that you can opt into. We opted into the marron and 250g steak, BUT, we really wanted to try the 750g steak and the pippies. There was absolutely no way we could have gotten through all of that food. Especially when the team also throw a small starter and finisher at you too. Don't get me wrong, definitely not complaining. The food was amazing and we'll definitely be back once we can secure a booking again. Hopefully it doesn't take us soo long next time.
Thanks Firedoor for living up to the hype!
Very very good. We were spoilt as enjoyed Hentley Farm degustation 2 weeks ago, which was superb and I’d argue better.
The service was good. But felt rushed. We upgraded to order the $89 steak but this arrived as we just started our lamb. So not ideal timing and service.
Clearly the embers and flavours are terrific. And a feature of the establishment.
What a Fantastic experience. from the service level, to the quality of the produce.
Love every minute. Go here if you looking for a unique dinning experience. the flavors of the woodfire and charcoal cooking technics really shines. Will be back again
Been on the bucket list forever and did not disappoint
Staff - attentive, fun and professional. On the ball
Ambience - very cool, open kitchen is a hive of activity that draws the eye and smells amazing
Food - unbelievable and not just about meat. Really delicate seafood, vegetables and desserts all part of the experience
One of the best experiences I’ve had - will not forget!
Superb food and excellent service! All the dishes came out strong and, honestly, were all my favourites. We also added the 200/250g steak and it was cooked to perfection! That capsicum sauce with it was divine!
Thank you firedoor for making the night special ecpecially for my partner who celebrated his birthday.
We look forward to dining with you again, hopefully, up close to the legendary chef Lennox Hastie!
