Fabulous spot & aesthetic, decor. Lovely food. Bit pricey but so I imagine is the rent. Kind, professional staff. Loved the sashimi, beef fillet, tiger prawns (special). Wines by glass good even if a bit pricey. A real keeper Matt!
WOW! An amazing meal, each dish was packed full of flavour and served in an architecturally stunning building.
As people who love good food from Melbourne, our trip to Sydney was centred around amazing places to eat. We were intrigued by the place as the executive chef had worked at Noma and Vue De Monde. The restaurant is housed on the second floor of this bird nest shaped building in barangaroo overlooking darling harbour. Nestled above a pub and below a fantastic bar 'Smoke' this restaurant is definitely a diamond in the rough.
We weren't feeling overly hungry so we decided to go with an a la carte menu. We selected the
- Miche Sourdough with housemade butter
- Steak tartare with mountain pepper
- Cured trout with dill, sour cream, pickled onion and flatbread
- Smoked Bone marrow, onion, capers, parsley, grilled sourdough
- O’Connor scotch eye fillet, roasted onion, green mustard
- Petit fours
- Rocky road
The sourdough was cooked to perfection and the butter a delightful start to our meal. Served on a crumpet, the steak tartare was a tantalising morsel that awoke our tastebuds. The crumpet was fluffy and the perfect accompaniment to this dish and we were so happy to see it return with the cured ocean trout. The cumpet was the perfect vehicle for this well cured ocean trout was and once dressed with the sour cream, dill and pickled onions it had us wanting more.
Before we knew 2 shin bones filled with delicious smoked bone marrow came out to our table. The bone marrow melted in our mouths and the sourdough was the perfect sponge to mop up all the flavour. This was our favourite dish of the night! The scotch eye fillet served medium rare was also cooked to perfection.
The dessert menu had us guessing and we didn't know what to expect. The petit fours were the perfect light finish to the end of the meal with a delightful home made musk stick that reminded us of our childhood.
The rocky road was one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. Despite it's smooth texture and gorgeous presentation each spoonful of this dessert was full of those renowned rocky road flavours.
Bea is going to be big! We wait to go back and eat there again on our next trip up to Sydney
Was a lovely setting for dinner, food was good. Cocktails were great. A little too expensive for what you got in my opinion, however it was a nice place nonetheless
