The restaurant had a really nice decor, and was sort of Spanish gothic in style. Had some lovely sangria to accompany the food. Would definitely drop in again if next time I was in Sydney :) Muy bueno!

As of the past couple of years, we have booked to go to nice restaurants on New Year's Eve, rather…read morethan face the multitudes of crowds in Sydney Harbour. We did a little research and found a dinner menu at an amazing price at Bodega 1094, in the Tramsheds facility in Glebe. Tramsheds is a large dining facility in an industrial building, the former Rozelle tram building. One of the numerous restaurants is Bodega, 1904. This restaurant and wine store has been brought to us by the team at Porteno and Bodega. For $65, we received a glass of bubbly and 5 courses including dessert. For an extra $50 we could do the matching wines. The menu is predominately Latin American and Spanish inspired tapas and the menu arranged for New Years was pretty much everything we love to eat. Food is made using fresh produce from local suppliers and prepared in tapas style dishes. On New Year's Eve, you were aslo able to do Ala Carte. We received a glass of NV Cruzat Premier Extra Brut champagne on arrival. The staff were kind enough to top us up with another as the previous dining timeslot was still being served. We appreciated this. The first dish were 2 Sydney rock oysters each with a Yuzu mignonette as well as a Crudo of scallop and finger lime. This went perfectly with the champagne. We very much enjoyed the butterflied wood grilled king prawn and smoky capsicum butter, served with NV Alma Negra Sparkling wine. We then tried a super soft steamed bun, with soft pork belly and a super crispy crackling, served with a tasty flavour of roasted sesame, wombok and salted peanut, served with the 2017 Amalaya Torrontes Riesling. The standout of the dinner was the incredibly delicious. It was the ricotta gnocchi, with zucchini flowers, chervil and a buttery sauce. We could have had a few dishes of this. This dish was paired with 2016 Alpamanta 'Estate' Chardonnay. The final main meal was a lovely Hanger steak with kohlrabi, xo. This meat was like a brisket and nice and smokey. Accompanied with a 2015 Tikal 'Natural' Malbec Syrah. To end of the meal was a refreshing strawberry granita atop a coconut sorbet. This was lovely. This came with the NV Cumbres Andinas Moscato, a very sweet drink to end on. We very much enjoyed all the food here and look forward to returning, especially for that gnocchi! We sat at the bar, just beside the little wine store for our dinner, but the restaurant does fit larger groups. The wine menu is predominately Spanish based and the Sommelier can assist you to match your dishes. You can also purchase a bottle or two to take home. Bodega 1904 also does a great lunch menu and brunch on the weekend. We thoroughly recommend a visit.

I made a reservation and received an email saying I had the table reserved for two hours. Once I…read morearrived to the restaurant, a man who I think was the manager, was very unfriendly he told us we were ten minutes late and we only had the table for an hour... I didn't say anything cause I just wanted to spend a good time with my family. We ordered several things that weren't anything special: bravas, torrades (5$ for two pieces of bread!?!?!?!?), croquetas and Pinchos Morunos , the last ones came basically raw to our table. We asked them to please cook them through cause we couldn't eat raw meat, they came back 10 mins later with the meat in the exact same condition. I've eaten pinchos morunos a 100 times... Maybe? Never nearly raw. Not only that, but we all felt quite sick and heavy after dinner. So, after all this, I can definitely say I'm not going back, not recommending it to anyone. I'm Spanish and I've been asked like a 100 times for a good Spanish restaurant, I thought this was going to be it...!! But no... One positive thing I have to say: both our waiters were nice.

Last year, I spent my 50th birthday in Paris, eating dinner in the shadow of Notre Dame in what is…read moretruly the most beautiful city on the planet. So this time round, now that I am merely counting down the days to a nursing home tub chair, we settled on something here in Sydney. That we are soon off to Madrid made me long for Spanish food but our morbid dread of overpriced, cod ordinary tapas, nearly steered us clear of that culinary quest. Then we found Postales... Stereotypical to my sexuality though it may be, I do not gush easily and give out full marks even less but here, we found the perfect romantic place to eat. The glorious architecture of what looked more like the crypt of a great cathedral than a reconfigured old post office, the cosy and comfy booth, the subdued lighting and the effortless service, all served as a perfect backdrop to an exquisite array of fine food. We chose the 'Fiesta' menu 'cos it well, sounded like something you'd eat on your birthday. Among the stand out performers: the calamari, which was light and tender, the chorizo, which was elevated in flavour by a deliciously spicy sauce and the sautéed spinach, chickpea and cauliflower, which had a bold authenticity thankfully not dumbed down for the local palate. Throw in some churros and crema catalana for dessert, along with a jug of refreshing sangria, and this ranked as one of our best dinners ever. If I had to quibble over anything, it would be to beg the owners not to stop at just one slice of that delicious 'miche' bread. Highly recommended, especially for lovers...

My only regret is not having another hour to try a few more, both of the food and the sherries. Two Americans plopped down next to me and, oblivious to the theme of the place, ordered long island ice tea and champagne, and then asked about burgers.

For example, the tuna on potato was cold tin tuna over a cold, soggy potato, but the chicken skewer, special, the potatoes, and the prawns were delicious. The ambience is very festive and bustling.

Have always been here for many function dinners and was first time for a wedding. I must say their…read morewedding hospitality is much better than corporate functions. Never really knew there would be a difference and yet there is... It's a tricky place to get to if you don't know the shortcuts, and if you do you'll end up to a place that looks like a separate island. A spectacular waterfront at night with up to 4 function rooms, an outdoor terrace, a boardroom and a great family lunch venue on the weekends. Food wise will depend on your budget and the more you pay the better the quality. There are even options for premium upgrades for a few dollar extra per person basis. Though I must rate their desserts as this has never disappointed me in the past! Their steaks, pork chops, pork bellies, chicken breast, spatchcocks and fish have good and bad times, lacks consistency. Desserts and entrees are their specialities so far for me. Also, their wedding hospitality is awesome and their wedding function specialist is a man named John and he is awesome!!! Made my night.

Plus weddings are big events so there are a lot of other variables that could play a factor in you enjoying the night. I really enjoyed my night, the finger food on the table at the start was quite snack worthy. It was Lebanese style, the natives did complain about it, but being a non-native (although frequent eater) it was good enough for me. Entrees were 2 different types of pasta which were both very nice. Mains were lamb and chicken, I didn't get too eat much of it (crazy 2 year old was given free reign and was going...crazy), but from what I did eat and what I heard was all positive. Dessert was also very good. We got kids meals too, pasta and chicken burger, it was nice but the kid was too busy dancing to eat! I did hear about GST being charged twice which had to be pointed out (which is a lot for a wedding) so be wary when paying. Plus there were a couple of audio issues with music cutting out (not sure if that was the venues fault or not). So not an entirely perfect night but still a fun night out.
