Wow! Poly is one of my all time favourite restaurants and is worth every penny. The value and quality of the dishes are well worth it as it is not pricy at all. Great for a date night or even a girls night since the set menu provides a variety of dishes.
The ambience is quite dim and moody, so it is quite intimate. My highlight dish/es of the night was the grilled sourdough and whipped sesame, macadamia cream, crispy potato, sticky date donut and the Marscapone dessert!! All the flavours were subtle but also perfectly balanced, I did not think any of the dishes were missing anything.
It was unbelievably perfect but I’m not going to lie, because we did order extra dishes... we were quite full half way! We did try our best to power through but we did have to take away the wagyu, the desserts were too good to pass as they were not overly rich and portion size was good for 2.
The only downside was that the waitress got our cocktail order wrong and forgot to take it off the bill so subsequently we did pay for it, even though we should have double checked ourselves as we only realised when we got home. One waiter did have to read off our menu as he forgot what one of the dishes was called but no big deal there.
Seriously, one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney and it never disappoints!!
Highlights;
- pork belly skewer
- lamb ribs
- kingfish
- sourdough bread
- fried potato with salted egg
Some other dishes were overly salty.
Overall, a great experience. Would have had preferred to have the option to pick the a la carte menu for dining’s after 6pm.
Wonderful pear cocktail - complex, beautifully balanced finished with a spritz of absinthe - fantastic. Only tried a few small dishes but they were sophisticated and delicious. Contrary to some other reviews, I found that the service was exemplary - professional, friendly, knowlegeable.
