Disclaimer that we only had libations at the bar. The cocktail game here is ON POINT! Really interesting recipes and unexpected (but tasty) flavors. Service - EXCELLENT. You'd expect that from a 4 Seasons but really the staff was great. They had Perrier Jouet by the glass, plus very tasty snack bites. Drink prices are 4 Seasons but you are worth it, right? read more

We had a daily breakfast here for 2 mornings as part of our room rate, it's a buffet of some delicious food items. Favorites include their sautéed mushrooms, salmon cold cut, variety of fruit juices, porridge with pork sung and kimchi, eggs freshly made, Wagyu beef slices, honey baked ham, chia pudding and others. A staff member named Catherine was very friendly and helpful. read more

This restaurant is located inside of the Four Seasons Resort. The hotel conceige booked our reservation. Obviously it was really convenient for us because we were staying at the hotel. The ambiance wasn't anything special but the service was incredible. Our server made several gluten free options for me. I ended up getting a salad and potatoes. I was running in a marathon in a few days and wanted to stay basic. They basically custom made me something to fit my needs. I had planned to go to the restaurant after the race but never did. I would definitely recommend it for those staying at the hotel. read more

Went to mode many times during my stay at the Four Seasons which was an awesome experience. Came here for brunch and random meals throughout the stay which was great. If you are looking for great service and an elegant ambiance this is the place for you. The food is fresh - we were able to try brunch here which has all the hot foods, yogurt station and amazing dessert/pastries available. Also tried the risotto for a dinner as well as the hazelnut for dessert which was PHENOMENAL! Definitely a nice place to visit when in Sydney! read more

Solid food in the Four Seasons. Though as an American - I think the food looked and tasted a bit generic like it could have been fine dining in any other city, without too much local personality. It was reliable if not memorable. Wedge salad was good though basic for people who are familiar with Japanese food. (Just iceberg lettuce plus sesame dressing and furikake). Prawns were also good. The kingfish appetizer was ok - fish was fresh but overall dish wasn't memorable given how much waiter hyped it up. Good service. Comfortable ambiance. read more

I struggled with my rating as the food was tasty but the service was horrible. I'm staying at the four seasons and the service has been phenomenal so I was quite surprised with the lack there of at the restaurant. Breakfast service great, dinner service not so much. The breakfast buffet has a great variety and they open pretty early 6:30, which is great if you have an early morning tour planned. I had reservations at another restaurant but was feeling exhausted and just didn't want to go far, so we decided to eat at the hotel's restaurant Mode. We opted to sit at the bar, which gives me a great view for people watching. The bar tender did not greet us nor was he attentive. I may have given a pass if the bar was full but it wasn't. A waitress took our drink and food order once we had sat for a while, so thank you for that. The bar tender seemed more interested in showing off his overly loud and non impressive shaking of drinks ‍ then tending to guests. The food was great! I had the romaine salad, which is literally just romaine but the dressing was fantastic and made this simple dish fantastic. I also had the crudo, which was delicious as well. The citrus and apple contrast was phenomenal and the portion size was just right. We also had a fish that I can't remember the name of that was paired with mustard greens and a broth poured over. The fish was light with a crispy skin and paired very well with the mustards. Drink wise I'd stick with simple, it will save you a couple of bucks and just a better option in my opinion. I had a Hendricks and tonic $14 and then an expresso martini $27. My spouse had an old fashioned $26, which includes a single shot but could have gotten a double whiskey neat or on a block for the same price. All in all I was thoroughly disappointed with the service but enjoyed the meal. Just to show how inattentive the bartender was, after waiting forever we walked to the hostess to ask for the check. Thank you bartender Hi (that's their name) your service needs some work read more

Seriously, how does this place get a high rating? - My potato burned the roof of my mouth - My sons kids meal came out 30mins before mine - i was never offered a drink and had to ask - never offered another drink. - everything is overpriced. - they don't even provide you with napkins, this place is a joke!! I get better service at McDonalds!! !! read more

We were warmly greeted and our waitress gave off good vibes! The scallop crudo was sweet and the finger lime and ponzu added some sour and salt. We were recommended the flounder special by our waitress. The fish was fresh and seasoned perfectly. You could still taste the flavor of the fish without the seasoning overpowering it. It was still early in the day so we ordered mock tails. The yellow drink is the passionate orange. It contains, orange Juice, passion fruit, lemon, and coconut water. The red drink is called Mr. George. It has, guava nectar, pineapple juice, lemons, berries, and hibiscus syrup. Both were delicious but personally I preferred the passionate orange. It was sweet but also sour. Lastly, we order the pavlova. I wasn't expecting much, but when it was served, I was blown away by the presentation. The pavlova was served on a bed of dry ice that smoked out and over our table. It was tasty and a joy to look at! read more

Honestly not the best food for being a restaurant lounge inside a four seasons. We didn't stay at this four season but of all the ones I've been to this is the most run down looking one. Back to the food review, I order the steak frites and it was not that good. I also thought the presentation wasn't great. I feel like I could have ordered this back home from a cheap dinner somewhere. read more

This is just the typical buffet like you would find it any hotel that offers a buffet breakfast. There's really nothing special. It's a pickle eggs, sausage, breads, meats, and cheeses, orange juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, etc. it's a nice ambience very clean and quiet. read more

MODE Kitchen & Bar - Bars Near Me - The Rocks, NSW

With Vivid Sydney 2019 fast approaching, it is an exciting time of the year to be in Sydney. This gave us great pleasure to be a part of the launch of the Four Seasons Hotel Chroma Dinner Premiere. The Four Seasons are getting into the Vivid festive spirit by providing a unique culinary experience at their Mode Kitchen & Bar. The Chroma dinner includes a four course meal, with each dish designed to awaken the senses, and to take you on a culinary journey of colour, scent, sound and light. Inspired by the colours red, blue, green, they have been created to enhance the dining experience. As guests enter a newly created white room, you are suddenly transformed into a world of colour and a sensorial awakening. Prior to arriving to this dinner, the evening for us started in the Presidential Suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, and we were greeted with three rooms illuminated with the colours red, blue and green. The highlight room was the blue room with the spa bath filled with bottles of champagne, and glasses surrounding the rim of the tub, and overlooking the iconic Sydney Opera House. A stunning hotel room with 360 degrees of the city, and we got to enjoy the room all whilst sipping wine and tasting some canapes. Following the walk around the Presidential suite, it was time for the dinner in the white room with the visual projections to enhance the food experience, by transporting guests into the middle of the jungle, under the reef or in a psychedelic world. The first course 'fishing in the jungle' (green) included the Hiramasa Kingfish with Aboriginal green ants, herbs chlorophyll and stracciatella. This came with a cocktail 'green savannah jelly' The second course, the 'reef promenade' (blue), was served a spanner crab risotto, purple cabbage and scampi caviar. Brilliantly blue! Served with the Toji Junmai Ginjo cocktail The third course, 'The Devil's Bath' (red colour) included the ruby snapper with smoked strawberry gazpacho and radish. An absolutley delightful and beautifully presented dish, served with the 'strawberry fields' cocktail. Dessert, and certainly a highlight was the 'sweet canvas' - this was white chocolate, vanilla and mandarin sphere served with blueberry, raspberry and pistachio which looked literally, like materials to create a work of art on the place, served with the 'la vie' cocktail. read more

Wow! Fantastic experience at breakfast. Huge selection of fresh made baked goods, cooked options, breads and fruits. The cost is well justified by the excellent food and fantastic service. read more

Food was AMAZING! Service was great. Marissa? (I think was her name) was very entertaining and personable she went above and beyond with our request to have the T-bone steak made from the online picture. We had the Tasmanian Festival and we were able to swap some sides and upgrade our meat selection with a very reasonable rate. Price was good for the portion, service and location. Best meal I've had in Sydney! read more
