Great lunch venue for mid week. I had the steak and it was cooked perfectly. Lots of beers and co Lysol’s and is a pretty awesome venue to kick on through the night.
Nice place in #Sydney for a lunch in the middle of the city. It has a variety of cuisines. The food is tasty, the atmosphere is welcoming and the service is friendly.
I dined here for lunch on a Friday with a colleague. Arrived at peak lunch time, we were lucky to grab a table so would suggest booking if you plan on dining with more than two people. The restaurant offers two different menus one with a more westernised/italian feel and the other with Asian inspired flavours. We were informed when ordering that food may come out at different times as the menus are run by two separate kitchens. (something to note especially if you're in a large group or in a rush). I had the pan fried gnocchi with pumpkin, onion puree and goats cheese. The flavour combo was delicious. I don't normally eat a lot of onion but the puree provided that extra level of flavour to the dish. The portion was quite generous. I enjoyed the meal and spotted some other menu items that I would like to try so I will be returning.
Great balance of indoor/outdoor seating in a relaxed space, perfect for business lunches. The menu is huge and really does have something for everyone.
This is located on level 1 at The Ivy on George Street. It shares the dining space with Sunee's Thai Canteen as well as you can select from either menu when eating here. It is a very open space and lots of light pouring in. Service isn't too bad but they were a bit distracted (chatting to each other) when we were trying to flag them down to pay the bill. Apart from that they were quite friendly.
We had the Braised Lamb Shank, Pan Roasted Corn Fed Chicken Supreme, and Pan Roasted Barramundi Fillet. The lamb was coming off the bone easily and had a nice topping of crispy sweet potato accompanied by creamy mash. The chicken was tender and not dry at all. It came with a lovely jus. The fish was well cooked and certainly the prettiest looking of the all the plates as it was sitting on a bed of mushy peas.
Overall not bad here at all but service could be sped up a bit and slightly more attentive.

This is a great casual restaurant and bar in the Ivy, perfect for an after work dinner with friends. We ordered the lamb skewers with yoghurt sauce, cherry tomatoes and pita bread and the fish of the day with zucchini, peas and mushrooms. The dishes were cooked well, though the place was a little loud to have a proper conversation.
Great place for a drink, bite and catch up with friends. I only tried the Thai menu but it didn't disappoint. They also have happy hour in the evenings so you can have a couple of pre-dinner drinks! Favourite was definitely the calamari.
Fantastic environment.... Lot of fun for all age levels. Good was great. Highlight was the grilled haloumi!! The panacotta was beautiful too. Only criticism was that the arincini balls had way too many fennel seeds. Unfortunately they were hard to eat.would definitely go back again though.
I like going to palings for a mid week lunch. Service is quick and I love that The Ivy Courtyard is transformed by day, it's somewhat nostalgic after having had many a night dancing my Arse off in the exact same spot I then had lunch.
They have a great mix of food on the menu so there's lots of pick from if you're not sure what you feel like.
It's my first review in Sydney zomato 😁yayyyy...so my sweet lead took the team for lunch here. Most of us ordered Thai and couple others tried the kangaroo. I loved mine 👌🏻 it was pad kapao gai Kai Dow. Pretty hard to pronounce but I just showed what I wanted. The veg rolls were good. Except for this the vegetarians didn't like the food. Thai green curry was good according to my friend.
Coming to ambience...it's a nice place to catch up with friends for a drink or lunch. The music was a tad loud though 🙉
Otherwise its a decent place with decent food 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoyed a great lunch here. The slow cooked pork was absolutely delicious. Expensive, but worth the money. Setting is quite nice, very casual. Service, didn't get to sit in the restaurant area, so had the bar service, but they still brought the food to your table.
Great vibe at lunch time, great quality Thai food. Sunlight penetrates through the building nicely. Great layout.
A fun and funky place for leaving do’s, after work drinks or pre-theatre nibbles. Very much a young person’s place – that said we didn’t feel at all out of place when we had drinks here for some friends leaving do. Noisy a bit but then it does cater for hundreds of people across several different concessions inside the building.
This is a good casual city bar, best on a warm night, popular for after work drinks but also most suitable for relaxed unpretentious dining. Friendly and efficient bar staff and also table service. Plenty of drink choices and food menu has range of options for decent meal or just grazing. Ordered their 300gram steak and was most impressed, perfectly cooked to order and a quality cut of flavoursome tender meat. Will return.
