Australia is known for their beef and 6 Head is an excellent choice if you are in the mood to splurge a little. Compared to United States prices, I find them actually quite reasonable for very high quality steaks. The restaurant is nicely decorated; service was great. It is located in the Rock district. The oysters were good but practically all oysters in Australia are good so nothing special here; however, the stars of the show were the steaks. They offered a cut of steak called Platinum Eye of the Rump which I've not had before in US so gave that a try. It's supposed to be Wagyu beef and did not disappoint. At $79 Australian dollars, that translated to about $52 US dollars and I would say you it was well worth it. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and was super tender and beefy. The ribeye was a larger cut and more expensive at $110 Australian dollars or around $73 US dollars. We enjoyed the ribeye as well, but the eye of the rump stood out more. The steaks come with a choice of steak cut fries or salad so we ordered one of each. Both sides were exceptional as well. I ate at another steak restaurant in Australia where the sides were "meh" but I found these well made. Overall, I highly recommend this steak restaurant. read more

Had a wonderful birthday meal here. First things first, they do book up so definitely make a reservation. Inside has a more formal ambiance we appreciated, but outside - assuming no cruise ship in the way - is probably the way to go for views, as we requested an inside top floor table with a view and didn't get much of one; turns out not many tables inside with a view. Service was mostly good but oddly slow in a few spots, the wine list was on iPad, and our pomme puree (mashed potatoes) came quite late. Steak was very good. MB7+ tomahawk is a terrific presentation, perfectly cooked to your specification, and described in detail. If you want the very highest quality (MB9) unfortunately thay was not on the menu when we visited, but it was surprisingly difficult find higher than MB7 on the regular menu of any of their competitors so I digress... (keyword: regular) Rest of the food was excellent. Little gem salad and chips are included with your tomahawk, the pomme puree was deliciously creamy if you like creamy mashed potatoes, broccolini hit the spot. And the scallops, while modest in appearance, won high praise. As someone who normally has a hard time going out for steak, given I can almost always make a better one at home, I do have to say that for a special occasion, 6HEAD was on the mark. read more

Went for the Australian wagyu and it simply was nothing special. It was hardly seasoned as well. We had to ask for salt. The oysters were fine, but we went for the wagyu. I'd say save your money and try somewhere else, unfortunately. Our waiter disappeared after our dishes were delivered and the restaurant was near empty. We literally never saw her again. Had to ask other waiters for things. I truly think we were forgotten about. The one good thing is the view of the opera house, but honestly there are so many restaurants that have nice views, so I'd pick a different one. read more

Over priced. Sauce 6 $$ for the steak fries. Really. And the sauce is so heavy and creamy. Now the wagyu burgers @ 40 $$ is pricey as well but the taste so this is why we came back for several times during our stays in Sydney!The steaks appear amazing ! I will try the filet next time. Overall the menu is limited and super busy on a Sunday night. But location is amazing accross the Opera house. Very inviting and comfy ambiance. Lots of young couples on first dates. So cute. Also noted big family get togethers as well. Oh love the New Zealand (antipodes )water $13 bucks. So good brought extra one for the room @ the Park Hyatt !Inexpensive vs the menu items. read more

6Head is a fusion steak restaurant in the Campbell Cove area right by the cruise terminal. I was able to easily make reservations online a few days in advance, but the timings were horrible because all that was left was 9:00pm to close slots. I arrived the day of my reservation and was able to move it to an earlier time at 6:15pm, which was perfect. We dined inside to avoid the summer heat even though it lacked a view. I got the uni pasta, while my partner got a steak. Both really delicious and well portioned for the price. They asked if we were celebrating and gave us a small birthday cake at the end with one waiter singing solo. Highly recommended for a special occasion spot nearby the Harbour Bridge and The Rocks area. read more

Alright food for expensive prices. Oily uni pasta gave mother lingering sore throat. Two Wagyu slices for $100 AUS. Steaks are good but jot wor it pricing. If you eat here, make reservations for inside because outside was windy that day and being sat next to trees had leave residue and bugs lingering on the seats. Unlucky seating but should've just went to Aria or Quay or other places and make reservation read more

You must come here if you go to Sydney. This is a top end restaurant with top tier food. It is right on the harbour so it is easy to walk to. I had the $98 grass fed ribeye. My mom had the $95 filet. I have no idea what sauce/seasoning they put on these steaks, but the taste is very unique in a good way. I don't really know how to describe it, but I haven't had anything ever like it. I paid $7 extra for the chimichurri sauce and this was the only disappointing item of the night. I wouldn't get it again. Also, we had a side of $19 brussel sprouts. They were very good. Not quite as hard as I would have liked, but very good. My mom had a $16 baby gem salad. She liked it a lot. Everyone here drank wine, but us. I made a reservation online at least 3 months in advance. This place is super popular, and I can see why. read more

We sat upstairs for dinner and it was romantic feeling with low dim lights. The seats were also comfortable and plus size friendly! We ordered the tomahawk steak for the first time. The waitress brought it out to us before they cooked it to make sure the marbling looked good and then cut it table side before we ate! Around a great experience. It is also right across from the opera house which made for great pictures leaving the restaurant. read more

I will be thinking about this meal for a very long time - but hopefully not too long as I really hope to come back! The entrance was somewhat of a challenge for us to find but what a gorgeous restaurant! We were seated quickly inside (outside seats were understandably unavailable). We were in search of amazing steak and we definitely found it at 6Head. I ordered the O'CONNOR, MB5+ (LONG GRAIN FED) 200g fillet, medium rare. From their website and menu: "O'Connor is known as Gippsland's finest beef for three generations." And I will say it certainly exceeded my expectations! One of, if not possibly, the best steak I have had the pleasure of eating. It was so succulent. I loved the side salad that accompanied it. It was so fresh and light and paired perfectly. We finished off with a gourmet Banoffee cheesecake, which admittedly we weren't expecting it to look nor taste like it did but it was AMAZING. As for the service, it was wonderful and met expectations for a restaurant of this caliber. read more

Our splurge night in Sydney! Everything about this restaurant was amazing. You're seated right on the harbor so you have some great views of Circular Quay - we even saw fireworks above the opera house! The food was also fantastic, we got the ceviche appetizer and it was perfectly balanced and fresh. The highlight of course was the tomahawk steak prepped and cut right in front of us - best steak ever!! read more

6 Head in Sydney delivers on history, flavors, and views! The story goes, cattle was introduced to Australia with only 6 head, 2 bulls and 4 cows. A convict was supposed to watch over these 6 head but after returning from lunch one day, the 6 head were missing. Eight years later, the 6 head had prospered into 100 head several miles inland without human intervention. This spot is all about spectacular food and unforgettable views of the Opera House. Steakhouse turned Seafood Heaven for me though. The prawns were fresh and juicy, and the tuna tartare was simply divine. Great spot! read more

The food was spectacular. I got the filet with chimichurri. We also got the shrimp appetizer along with some sourdough bread and the wagyu fat butter. It had this savory, smoky flavor. Delicious. Perfect dinner vibes. Great for a date night or nice dinner. The weather was perfect this evening, but the outside patio was covered, so even though it was rainy, we stayed dry. Beautiful table set ups. Beautiful view of the opera house and Harbour bridge. Service was great. The staff was so friendly and so helpful. I would definitely be back if I lived in Sydney! read more

Came here for an early birthday lunch. Nice view of the bridge and bay. Tasty cocktails. Loved the food. The service was okay; I booked the table for a birthday lunch but not sure if this was communicated from our original server to our new server when they went on break. It was very disappointing as I didn't even get a happy birthday, and the new server paid more attentiveness to the gentleman that was with us and who he thought was his date than to me as the birthday girl lol read more

My practice is to ONLY give 5 stars when something is truly exceptional... 6Head is that exception. I've eaten beef my entire life, and my family raises some of the most prized beef cattle in the great state of Texas. As a connoisseur of truly outstanding beef, 6Head stands as tall as my Texas hat. Congratulations on providing a sincerely fantastic cut of beef in a magnificent setting. read more

After a long day at the zoo and walking around the harbor, I wanted to rest and get some food. I asked a few locals where to get a good steak and 6 head was recommended. I've heard a lot about Australian steaks so I def wanted to check it out. The day warmed up so it was a good day to sit on the patio next to the water. I had a nice view of the opera house and on chilly days they have heaters. Upon entering, you can tell it was a high end place. My waiter wasted no time getting me seated and asking if I needed anything. He was very knowledgeable about the differences in the cuts and grading scale of the meat. My steak was a 5 on the marbling scale which would equate to a choice cut in the US. I ordered some bread to start and the ribeye medium and mash. The bread came with smoked wagyu butter with lava salt and I can tell you that the butter can cure depression it was so good! The smoke and pop of salt is a perfect blend. If it was complimentary, I could eat an entire meal consisting of the bread and butter! The steak arrives and it looks great. Looks juicy, visible coarse salt, no frills, no extras, straight beef. (Love it) I cut into it and it was cooked to perfection! I told my waiter that I am very picky when it comes to my steaks as I don't find many steakhouses that great. I prefer the taste of char that charcoal provides and it's hard to find that. This had a good sear and but I did feel deceived a tad. The steak had a hint of sweetness which was unexpected. It wasn't overpowering but it was definitely distracting. It tasted like a Hawaiian ribeye, I asked the waiter what was on the steak because I taste sweetness. He looked confused but said he would ask the chef because he doesn't think anything sweet was used. I took a few more bites and said, I definitely taste a sweet notes. He returned and said that they baste it with vinegar, sugar, honey amongst other ingredients. He said my taste buds were calibrated lol. To me that took the steak down a bit as I was looking for more of a beef flavor with a pop of salt but I couldn't stop focusing on the baste. It was still good but not what I was calibrated for. I do feel that it should've been noted on the menu to avoid surprises. Next time I'd request that baste not be used. The mash was as creamy and light as a heavy mousse. Very good and the price isn't outrageous. $100 Au approx. Everything that was brought out to other patrons looked absolutely amazing! 6 head is a solid choice read more

Highly recommend sitting outside patio by the water! It's a great space with views of the Sydney Opera House (when the cruise ships aren't in the way). The steak is great, cooked perfectly and our server was fantastic and accommodating for our party of 8. They also are mindful of allergies which is a plus. read more

A bit disappointed overall with our experience here last night. We arrived with high hopes, seeing all the great reviews online. We were seated promptly, and our view from the table in the upstairs dining room was of the sydney opera house, however, only one person was able to expereience the view as the other patron was seated next to the wall. We ordered the MB6+ rib eye and the MB5+ filet, and both were good but not great. For the price point, we were expecting great. The accompanying sauces were ok, the salad was a little odd, but the truffle mac and cheese was delicious. Our cocktails were underwhelming, and we were not offered more water when we ran out. The extremely loud interruptions from a group upstairs were unfortunate. Were told by our waiter and manager that they were unable to do anything about this, and they did eventually offer to move us, however by the time this was offered, we were already almost done with our meal and it seemed a moot point. What was supposed to be an intimate evening was interrupted by what sounded like a full-on night club upstairs. There was no offer for compensation made by the manager, no free dessert or round of drinks offered, nothing to make us feel that the management cared whatsoever about the ambience of our meal being ruined. Just a half-effort to move us in the middle of our meal. Again, this level of service was highly disappointing, given the price point of the meal. Our take away was that this restaurant prioritizes quantity of the patrons it can service in a very busy tourist area, and not the fine quality of providing a very nice meal/experience, as it seems to claim. read more

Fabulous steak house restaurant right on the harbor overlooking the Opera House. Service was attentive and helpful. The views stunning and the food even better! Bread service is a must- artisan bread with wagyu butter! We started with the king fish ceviche. It was light and flavored with the gin citrus dressing. They are known for beef here- sourced from farms local to Australia. We enjoyed the Wagyu eye of rump- perfectly cooked and flavorful. We paired it with a chimichurri sauce that added an extra little something. The steak was paired with a green goddess salad and we also got the creamy lobster Mac and cheese. It was a perfect meal! read more

Friendly and attentive service, however food was a bit average. The views definitely were reflected in the price.

Wow. The best meal we've had in Australia in 3 weeks. Forget Bennelong, go here! The food, ambience, views and service were absolutely spectacular. We started with a kingfish ceviche and a beautifully flaky toothfish with truffles, and finished it all with truffle tagliatelle, fillet and wagyu potatoes with heaps of caviar. I was blown away by the presentation, seasoning, complexity of flavors and overall quality of our al-fresco dining experience. While this is an upscale fine-dining restaurant, the waiters are fantastic, have personalities and are not uptight, which was much appreciated. What a lovely night! read more

I was nervous that 6HEAD would have been an overrated tourist trap near the harbor but it turned out to be the best meal & dining experience we had during our stay in Sydney. We made reservations indoors due to cooler weather yet not knowing about VIVID. Although, we were seated upstairs/indoors it was beautiful. The ambiance was electric. Our server was fantastic, she was extremely kind and personable. Such a pleasure to interact with. As for food.... Oxtail Doughnut - We could have eaten a dozen of them. Just order it, trust me! XO Prawns - The biggest prawns I've ever eaten. Perfect portion! Octopus Roll - Imagine lobster roll but swap the lobster for octopus. The most creative meal, perfectly executed. Wagyu Rib Eye/Chimichurri (on the side) - thinner than we expected but it was grilled without error. Could have used a tad of salt but it was fine without it. Wagyu Potato - Who thought of this?!?! I would literally kiss the chef in the mouth. Soooooooo gooood! Eat it! All of it!!! Lobster Mac & Cheese - Yummmmmy! read more

This was our favorite meal in Sydney. It was also the most expensive. We had the tomahawk MB 9+ steak. Delicious and fatty as heck! We did not get an outside table because we were walk-ins. We sat upstairs and watched from the scenic window. The only dish that missed the mark for us, was the miso cod. So don't expect it to taste anything like it would in a Japanese restaurant. Maybe it was overcooked because it did not flake off as usual. But the rest were delicious: calamari, steak tartare, scallops, and chicken. read more

Superb service. A little flaw with the service of coffee, spilled some on the saucer but corrected immediately. Very attentive staff. Ambiance is great because of the view. Just one customer too loud the whole time. Expected though with the outdoor seating area. Outdoor area needs better music to offset such distraction. Reason for 3 starts? Hubby came for the steak and ended up ordering the Wagyu 6Head MB6+. Taste? Nothing extraordinary to make it stand out. We were initially planning to return to try the tomahawk IF he's impressed with the steak order today. So, it's a no. Presentation? Not the kind I/we expect from a "chef." Definitely no presentation at all. Just a piece of steak on a plate. On another note, I enjoyed my calamari. Thought the aioli was delicious. Just needs a touch of more greens for balance and color. We both loved the dessert, the Wagyu Fat Chocolate Cube. Presentation could be improved to make it more appealing. Taste? Fantastic! Highly recommended. We very much appreciated the bday gesture and free dessert. Thank you! Btw, we had reservations to secure outdoor seating and we were seated earlier than our actual reservation time. Another plus. read more

6Head could be amazing, but they've made some very confusing choices that sink both the experience and the food. For starters, once seated we were visited by five separate waiters who told us they would be serving us, asked us the same introductory questions, and left never to be seen again. In total we ended up being served by no less than 8 different people. There seems to be no coordination of the waitstaff at all, no defined sections or stations, and no communication between them. It's pretty frustrating to keep answering the same questions over and over and have no idea who your waiter actually is. Considering we had to keep answering if we had food allergies or not, I would be quite nervous eating here if I did. They have this beautiful menu describing their steak origins and the flavors to expect, but then they smoother the steak with a thick sauce (which is not mentioned on the menu) and hide all of the natural flavor. The one item that doesn't have an origin listed is the most expensive and arguably most important to know - the wagyu - and when asked the staff gave us a runaround speech about the origin not mattering because it's hand chosen for a specific quality. Anyone who knows wagyu knows that's nonsense; origin has a very notable impact on the flavor, well beyond that of a normal steak. The marbling rating is only part of the story and different origins will be best served by different preparations and pairings. In fact the staff was quite uninformed in general; they couldn't tell us the ingredients of the sauce used on all of the steaks (and in fact initially lied and said there was no sauce at all), misspoke repeatedly about techniques used in the kitchen, and couldn't recommend pairings on the menu, which isn't their fault but is a total failure of the management to properly train and keep staff informed. Ultimately my steak was good, and the sauce used is delicious, although it's not needed. The beef was tender and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Although they missed the opportunity to get a crust on the steak, the exterior was still quite distinctive from the interior. As for the rest of the meal... I was disappointed that the side salad is just a bundle of lettuce with a mountain of cheese, a little lemon dressing, and a couple of stray pieces of pickled onion... A well crafted salad could've elevated the meal, and it feels like a sorely missed opportunity. The wagyu potato was oddly dry inside, which is strange for something that's supposed to be layered with wagyu fat. It had none of the wagyu profile. Still delicious and crisp, but not much flavor beyond a french fry. The creme fraiche on top was stingy and could've helped with the texture if it was given more than a teensy dab. The artisanal bread with wagyu butter was fine. The bread was quite nice but the "butter" didn't feature the depth of flavor, richness, or butteriness you'd expect from wagyu fat. It could've used some salt as well. Just sort of bland unfortunately. It felt like it got thinned out using oil to save cost and it lost a lot of the flavor. (Edited to add, it's only after looking at the menu again while writing this that I notice it was meant to be smoked wagyu butter. Zero smokiness to note!) The one true standout item on the menu was the 6 apple dessert, which managed to bring in a wide variety of distinctive apple flavors and textures while still feeling cohesive. No one part of the dish overpowered another, and none of it was bland or disappointing; it all worked together in beautiful, delicious harmony. It felt like a nostalgic love song. All in all it feels like 6Head can do so much better, but they're holding back. If there was more confidence in the food, more boldness in letting the natural flavors speak for themselves, and a willingness to go the extra mile instead of taking the lazy way, this place could really shine. They just need a bit of vision and leadership, both in the kitchen and in the staff management. read more

Hmm, cannot understand all the hype about this place. I was there a few nights ago for a business dinner. Ordered their Tender Valley Ranch NY steak, rare. $65. It came with a nice size and tasty dinner salad. The steak was cooked just right, but frankly just tasted average, and was not that tender. In fact the steaks I got from my local Costco in Seattle USA, were much better. My recommendation would be to save your bucks, and go to one of the famous Asian places instead.

I cannot begin to describe our experience at 6HEAD. Five stars really isn't enough. We were visiting from the US for my annual family trip. Our last night in Australia was my daughter's birthday...and I decided to also use it to pop the question to my fiancé. From the moment I made the reservation to the time we left (one of the last people to leave), the service was impeccable...down to them helping me with the surprise of singing happy birthday to my daughter and bringing a dessert with "will you marry me" written on it. The staff was all in on the surprise and even recorded it on their own cameras!! The food was perfectly prepared and delicious. And they seated us right along the water outside where we watched the drone show overlooking the Opera House. I've never had a more perfect dining experience. Thank you to all of the staff who worked that evening (8 June 2024) for making us feel so special!!! :) read more
