    Asians are clearly not welcome here. We deeply regret not seeing this unspoken disclaimer before…read moremaking our reservation. Our group of four arrived on 14 August at 6:30 PM (TABLE ACCOUNT 2 - Id/Check 219771). Initially, we were greeted by the maître d', who was genuinely welcoming and friendly. He seated us and assured us a waitress would be right with us. That was the last bit of decent service we received from the main staff. We sat there for 10 full minutes being completely ignored. Finally, a man in a blue long-sleeve shirt casually walked past, glanced at our table, and tried to actively pretend we didn't exist. We managed to catch his attention to ask for service, only to be met with a look of pure displeasure and a dismissive, "Hold on." Frankly, we should have taken that as our cue to walk out right then and there, saving ourselves from the blatant white supremacy and racism that defined the rest of our night. This staff member was Max, the sommelier, and his behavior was absolutely repulsive. Even though we smiled and initiated friendliness, he treated us with hostile racism. He served us with zero emotion, no smile, and literally walked away in the middle of us trying to thank him for explaining the menu. We tried giving him the benefit of the doubt, thinking he was just having a bad day. However, we then watched him turn around and shower the surrounding tables, which exclusively seated Caucasian guests with his brightest smiles and warmest hospitality. He was also laughing away with his other Caucasian colleagues. The contrast was sickening. The disrespect escalated when we tried to order a bottle of wine. Max made a rude, condescending remark, snapping that if we couldn't finish the bottle, we wouldn't be allowed to take it home. When we asked for just a few minutes to consider our options, he just walked off on us. As paying guests, we were left wondering what we did wrong by supporting this restaurant, despite the fact that we speak perfect English and navigate the Western world with ease. No paying customer should ever be made to feel like a second-class citizen when expecting hospitality. During our meal we took a quick look at past Google reviews only to realise that this isn't an isolated incident, multiple other Asian guests have flagged this establishment for racism against Asians. This vile behavior is an ongoing pattern that the management team is clearly perfectly fine with. It is absolutely disgusting to face this level of discrimination today. The only saving grace of the entire evening was Paul, a Thai waiter, who took over our service. He was the most attentive, warm, and professional server we could have asked for, and he single-handedly saved the night from being an absolute demeaning disaster. It is a massive shame that the restaurant's reputation has to suffer because of a racist like Max, especially since our group was prepared to splurge on an expensive meal. While the food itself was decent, the service makes this place entirely worthless of any Michelin star accolades. If a Michelin mystery reviewer ever visits this establishment as an Asian, Max will single-handedly destroy Chophouse's reputation. Management needs to fix this immediately.

    Thalia's service was phenomenal. I really enjoyed the experience and she was very knowledgeable and…read morehelpful with picking a meal. She recommended two wines and I'm not sure I got the right one in the end but it was enjoyable. I went with the suggestions she made rather than my regular choices and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. She even suggested I do half/half on the sides so that I could try two. For dessert, she recommended the fudge but said the macadamia cookie was popular. I'm a sucker for a warm cookie and some vanilla ice cream so I got the cookie. It was delicious. The place is quiet and a bit dim. It felt like being in a Rathskeller or inside a mushroom under the sea. I'd come again.

    The mid outweighs the good here. Met a family friend here for dinner and we were a group of 7. Food…read moretook a bit of time but it wasn't too bad considering how busy they were. We were seated downstairs in their covered outdoor seating area. They also have indoor seating upstairs. Service wasn't too bad overall but they really could have checked on us more often after they had delivered our food. The food was kind of mixed. A couple in the group had ordered steaks and they were bland and tough. I ordered the Kangaroo for the table and we got that medium rare. Super tender and while it could have used more seasoning, the sauce we got with it paired perfectly. For myself I got the burger and beef ribs combo. For me this is where things go down hill. The beef ribs were TOUGH, hard to bite through and get off of the bone. As for the burger it was pretty dry but luckily I had the sauce from the kangaroo to fix that. I can say that the fries were perfectly cooked though. They have a number of cocktails to choose from but the beer menu was pretty limited.

    Stopped in here, apparently like several other reviewers, specifically to try kangaroo for the…read morefirst time. There were 5 of us and 2 of us had never tried it. The locals we were with cautioned us that it's generally very lean and can be tough so we were a bit apprehensive despite wanting to give it a shot so we decided to get it as an appetizer for the table to share and order other mains (it wasn't offered as an app on the menu, but they were gracious enough to do this for us). It cane out a perfect medium rare and I honestly would have believed you if you told me it was beef. I expected a gamier flavor but it was very mild, perhaps a slight note of iron in the aftertaste, but actually very good. For my main I got a steak sandwich and unfortunately I wish I had just gotten the kangaroo as my main, because the steak sandwich was just okay. On a positive note the server did replace my wine after a fly decided to practice treading in it (it failed). We were sitting outside, so I definitely don't blame them that it happened and they replaced my whole glass despite the fact that I had already drank half of it, so I give them points for that. That said, if I did come back here it would only be for the kangaroo if I happened to be here with someone that had never had it before.

    Ate here with a couple of friends our first night in Sydney…read more Everything was excellent. Our server was a very nice guy who made us feel like valued customers and was very friendly and had a bunch of suggestions on things to see, places to go and places to eat. The food was outstanding. I got a ribeye and it was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. The setting along the waterfront made for a peaceful dining experience. I highly recommend 6 Head when you are in the area.

    Had a wonderful birthday meal here…read more 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.
