When arriving you're usually ushered in with great precision by a snappy little fella in a pair of Lederhosen, no messing about, it's all business & schnitzel. Most people know what they're going to eat before they even get there & usually your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Never fear order up & there's take away boxes available! Una's has a great selection of beers, or there's a bottle shop of the road if you'd rather to BYO with a bottle of wine. I tend to try & not drink too much beer here for the fear of filling up & not having room for my Schnitz. I've tried a few of the starters, Deep Fried Camembert, a decadent delight. The Dutch Beef Croquets are a favourite shared amongst friends & topped with a little of the mustard located on the table - yum yum! The mains, well it's hard to go past the Schnitzel! I've been here with friends & watched them order other great plates, such as the Una's Beef Goulash, with Spatzle. I'd love to try it some time, however I'm always drawn to the golden schnitzel. I've had the Vienna Schnitzel, & the Chicken, my favourite dish at Una's would have to be the Chicken Jaegar Schnitzel, served with mushroom sauce, rosti & a cabbage salad on the side. It's so HUGE you wonder how you're going to get through, I must admit though I usually do. I have to admit I even had an occasion where we were pressed for time as were going to a concert & had stopped in for a bite.. My sister said we haven't got long we'd better eat quickly. I think I ate that schnitzel like I was at the world class Hot Dog eating competition at Coney Island. No sooner had I finished my meal (in record time) that the patron's on the adjacent table commented on how well & quickly I'd gotten through it. I was a little embarrassed, but proudly so, lol! ;-) go ME! If you decide to get a take away box, or open the second stomach there's always a serve of Una's Apple Strudel & Ice-cream to top it all off, why not get one share it, just to try. So pack your stretchy pants & visit Una's, the perfect place to enjoy a schnitzel with friends especially in the cold winter months.

We started with Dutch croquettes for an entree (appetizer). They were delicious, reminding us of bitterballin in the Netherlands last year. Then we each ordered a meal. If we'd realized how much food came with each meal, we'd have split just one. I ordered the jaegar schnitzel, chicken, and it came with two huge cutlets, nicely coated and crispy, with a mushroom sauce on top. There was also potatoes rossi, which is like hash browns, super crispy on top layer, and a small bowl of vinegary coleslaw. The veal medallions were tender and tasty. That meal came with the same potatoes and some barely cooked mixed veggies...yum! There was too much for us to be able to eat it all. Being Anzac Day, they add 10% to the bill. Our server/host was friendly and helpful. We're glad we got to eat there while in Sydney.

The inside is simple - clean, casual and overseen by a large portrait of Franz Josef. There are a few German beers on tap, or you can opt for wine. They have a really nice Gruner 1.0L bottle for just $28. That's a good deal. If you're coming here, you should probably get schnitzel because they're quite good. The mister had the jaeger version and I stuck with the classic - both arrived with 2 pieces overhanging the plate along with a generous amount of roesti potatoes. Definitely more than either of us could finish, and we were hungry. Service is very nice and it's a family friendly place too.

It probably could have used a wine sauce or something to give it some ooomph but even presentation was lacking. It was ok, but nothing that would draw me to come back to this restaurant for. More can be done with this awesome venue and I think needs to up its game in a city of brilliant foods at reasonable prices.

Everything was delicious except we didn't like the last course which was the lamb with yogurt sauce. The meat just didn't taste that great. The first few courses came out quickly and then it got busy in the restaurant and they seemed to forget about us. By the time dessert was on its way, my friend was OVER IT! We asked for the dessert to go and the server put it in one box even though there were two of us. But aside from that snafu, we had a great meal. Thank you for the eats, Bloodwood! I'll be back.

I hadn't ventured onto King Street Newtown's dining scene in some time and took to google for inspiration. Bloodwood popped onto my screen and seeing some very positive reviews I made a booking. When we arrived I was chuffed to discover that my friend had dined at the location a number of times before and he assured me that the food and service were top notch. We were greeted by super friendly staff who ensured all COVID safe precautions were followed before showing us to our table. We were sat on the upper lever just near the outside terrace. The decor is fresh and inviting with exposed brickwork and subdued colours making for an intimate and refined ambiance. Tableware is modern and funky but not at all lacking in quality Having booked a table for 2pm my dining partner and I were looking to have a loooong relaxed, and slightly boozy, lunch. Bloodwood certainly delivered with their banquet menu ensuring a flow of dishes to delight the palette. Needing to satisfy the boozy component of our get together we added the drinks package to our banquets. Be warned this is not your traditional matched wines where you get a small splash of wine with each course, this is a choice of their premium beer, champagne, white or red wine which flows continuously and with a heavier hand when it come to the pour!! This is not a drive home after your meal arrangement so please drink responsibly! The banquet starts with some hors d'oeuvre style plates including their stand out pecan pâté which you would never think was purely plant based! Delicious!! The housemade offerings of focaccia bread and pickles were also fantastic. What could well be Bloodwoods signature offering came next... the Polenta wedges with Gorgonzola dipping sauce are mouth wateringly crispy and amazing on their own or with the creamy dipping sauce. Although not on the menu our amazing and super friendly hosts treated us with a scallop which was cooked perfectly and covered in a very tasty garlic and Bloody Mary sauce that really packed a punch. The roasted pear and lentils followed and what a flavour combination they made. This was a plate that went back to the kitchen almost licked clean. I'm not a big chickpeas and lentils kind of guy but this dish was just so perfectly balanced both in flavours and textures. The meals then move into more robust and hearty offerings including a chicken, seafood and a lamb dish. These all had great individual flavours and were cooked to perfection. Last but not least was an old school favourite done with modern flair and finesse. Every grandmothers signature dish the humble trifle takes on a level of refinement with bloodwood's take on this comfort dish. The combination of custard, rhubarb and mascarpone was a sweet treat that topped our meal off perfectly. I'm not sure if it was catching up with and old friend or the meal or the combination of both but we left the restaurant about four hours after we arrived!! Mission accomplished!!! Looong lunch and a slightly drunk train ride home all ticked off the to do list!! Bloodwood is definitely worth heading to for some great food and sensational service. The value for money is really good and you won't be disappointed.

At first the small blond hostess seated us in the wine bar rather than the restaurant but after inquiring, she seated is in the restaurant. (She wasn't very welcoming.)

Good food and wine recommendations and attentive throughout our meal but not intrusive. We ordered and were pleased with the pasta special. Also had tuna tartare and salad starters.

The descriptions of the food on the menu speak to me personally - Barbequed Duck with Stir-Fried Asian Greens, Thai Coconut Curry, Lime Milkshakes - as the stuff dreams are made of. The staff is purely young, good lookin' fellas. I want to love it; on an intellectual level, I do love it. But every time I go, the reality serves to disappoint. The settings are as ethereal and beautiful as they sound; just off frantic Mona Vale Road, the Buddha Belly does a remarkable job at maintaining tranquility no matter the traffic. But the food - always, always, always I am disappointed. The flavours are average; as my companion put it "It's nice. But you could eat just as well at Terrey Hills Tavern." The amount of pleasure that I derive from my slow-cooked Pork Belly is disproportionate to it's $30 price tag. My companion feels the same about her similarly-priced duck. Although beautifully presented, I am not impressed by the unnecessary use of a deep dish with a knife and fork - eating out is meant be enjoyable, not a task. The settings are beautiful; the service high-quality - if only the food was as good as everything else. Maybe a better choice for a coffee?

Down a little too much Veuve, stroll along the pier and make like a millionaire as you consider you're next floating investment. Just try and narrow it down to one. Then return to the bar and drink a little more Veuve... cool off in the harbourside pool and grab a leisurely lunch in the uber chic restaurant. A relatively recent restaurant fit out by Mike McCann of Concrete Blonde fame feels timeless, elegant and a little bit Colorado cabin on the water come winter with timber panelled walls and open fireplaces. Of course, the panoramic views of Sydney Harbour is a constant reminder that you are not in fact in Colorado... but the contrast works well nevertheless. Summer Sundays seafood buffets are a must. How many prawns can one consume in a single sitting? Only one way to find out. There once were jet skis on offer for endless Harbour fun, until Bob Carr put a lid on them. Cheers Bob.

We were forced to pay cash for the event which first off shows that there's some shady workings going on behind scenes. Any time someone ordered a drink they refused to let them see what they were charging....which happened to be the most expensive drinks I've found in Sydney. Everything was incredibly unorganized. The employees never knew what was actually going on and I could have created something better in my living room. Everything was makeshift and rushed. We didn't even get to pick what we ate. They just brought out some random dishes and threw them on the table. There were no actual classes for anything. The painting class was just a room with a curtain and they handed us a pen and piece of paper and gave us a few minutes to draw, there was only one pole for 15 girls to learn on, the cocktail making simply included giving us 4 shots of sugar water to put in a cup, and the stripping was a mediocre show of two guys. At the end of it they told us to leave the bar and come back in an hour. One girl accidentally forgot her jacket and the staff yelled at the bride for it. The whole event was such a scam.
