    Incredible place for drinks and apps. Views for days!!!! Amazing cocktails and the best service! We ordered the tapas sampler- it comes with hummus, whipped feta, bread, and choice of three small dishes. We picked the rice crusted fried cauliflower- to die for... I could eat this all day... crunchy yet perfectly cooked in the middle. The kingfish ceviche was light and fresh. The smoked chickpea fritters were the surprise star- crunchy, creamy, and a hint of spicy! We washed all this down with a perfect Bloody Mary and aperol spritz. I wish I could give them six stars!!

    Views are spoiled by the mediocre food, and overall unhygenic atmosphere. Dirty cutlery, wine glasses with lipstick and spots. But the final horrific knife in the back of this restaurant experience was a visit to the ladies room. NO TOILET PAPER IN TWO STALLS, THE OTHER TWO PLUGGED UP AND OUT OF SERVICE!!!!! Sliced my finger open and was bleeding trying to get the loo paper out of dispenser as it was stuck on top of the only working toilet. Told the manager, the hostess and the bartender that all the toilets were not functioning. After a 3 hour meal and $600 dinner, still could not use the ladies room before we left, the management never even added loo paper or attempted to make the ladies room operable for its guests! A HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING , SHOCKING AND HORRIFYING end to our just average and overpriced meal. Stay home and order in instead, and save yourself the agony of an evening at The O! A pizza would have been a thousand times better than this horrible, slimy place!

    While visiting Sydney this place came recommended by many as it's a 360 rotating restaurant. The view was fantastic! There's construction going on so you can easily get lost trying to find the entrance. The building it's located in also has offices and there's a security desk downstairs. There was no signage so it made it difficult. Our gps wasn't working well once we were about a few feet away. This place would benefit from signage. We just wanted to check out the view and wanted some apps. Once we told them this we were seated on a high top in the lounge. The high top seating was uncomfortable so I asked for a change of seating as the lounge was empty. We were given a lounge window seating. Drinks of course pricey but was to be expected. I ordered three different ones which none I enjoyed. None of the appetizers caught our attention so we left to dine somewhere else. Perhaps the sit down dinner menu was better not sure. Service was horrible as well. Our waiter barely came by and was hanging out by the bar area while we were there. The two stars are for the cool restaurant and view!

    I always love the atmosphere and service standard's when I dine at Obar and Dining. On arrival we enjoy pre-dinner cocktails in a seating area before we are escorted to our table. Luckily I have always had my requests for a window seat table seating met. The menu is inventive and offers a many choices that are beautifully presented on the plate. Usually I am dining here for a special occasion to celebrate a 'birthday or anniversary'. Both times the staff brought out a special extra dessert treat to add to the celebrations. A nice touch indeed. Overall, I love Obar and Dining because I know I will thoroughly enjoy every aspect of my dining experience while getting a spectacular view of Sydney from Australia's first revolving restaurant!

    I don't think I've ever left a 5 star review for a bar, but here we go. We went to O Bar on a Wednesday night at 7PM. We went straight up to the 47th floor (as opposed to at other buildings in the area, where you may have to pay to enter). Once there, we were greeted and immediately seated at a window seat. The seating area itself actually revolves in a circle. It takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to make a full loop. It has great views of the city, especially at sunset. We checked out the menu right away - the drinks were pricey, but not absolutely insane; on par to what you would be getting at any other rooftop bar in Sydney based on the reviews I've read. Our server was EXTREMELY nice. She had a lot of insight into the drinks, as well. She was able to make recommendations based on what I was saying I liked and did not like. In fact, everyone who worked here was friendly and helpful. The bartenders greeted us on our way in, and servers from other tables stopped by to chat. A+. We ordered a round of drinks and two appetizers to share. The appetizers were the scallop skewers and the octopus skewers. The scallops were excellent - they were wrapped in bacon and served over a small, warm salad. The octopus was good too, although slightly too charred for my liking. This was served over the same vegetables as the scallops and was paired with mushrooms. The drinks were good, too. We ordered two Cumberbatch martinis, one pineapple punch, and one Bloody Mary. I tried the martini, which was very well crafted, and I liked it even though I'm not a gin person. My drink of choice was the pineapple punch, which ordinarily isn't very fruity, but the bartenders will make each drink to your liking if you ask. All in all, we had a great and unique experience here, and would certainly recommend it.

    Amazing place to watch the sun set over Sydney with good company.

    I came here with my boss and CEO while visiting Sydney with the intention of having sunset drinks. Somehow they convinced us to stay for dinner instead by telling us that the drink section was full and only availability was dinner seating. I can't complain because the food was delicious - great selection of what I would describe as fine Australian fare. The best feature was still the view and I would take guests here again as noted below it is better than paying to go up the Sydney tower and you get a spectacular dinner venue. As long as you are willing to pay the premium for the location:)

    Tomato and mozzarella
    Peejay Y.

    What I had: Pacific oysters, tomato and mozzarella and lamb rump together with a half bottle of 1er grand cru st. Emilion Oysters were very good. I was expecting a caprese for the tomato and mozzarella. Instead they gave me something different, which I liked. Lamb rump was so tender. Killed it. Wine was fairly priced. Great! Food was pricey but worth it. Not an everyday thing. For 3 adults and 2 kids, I paid A$270.

    Spicy mojito with a view!
    Joanna M.

    Ok, allow me to be the umpteenth person to say that the view here is seriously amazing! I came here without reservations of a Tuesday night to grab a drink with a friend. Since we'd both come from work we were appropriately dressed, but only just. Seriously, this place has its eyes on the runway. Yes, the cocktails are expensive, but also, mine was delicious. Sometime you just want a really great mixed drink, and that's what this mojito was--perfectly blended with a spicy pepper kick at the end (which, fortunately, the waitress had warned us about). It did take about 15 minutes to find someone who could get us our bill and then allow us to pay it, but the view is so great and the drinks were so good that we really didn't mind. I would definitely come back for a drink, but based on how pricey everything is (even the nuts are $15), I don't think I'm likely to try for dinner unless I win the lotto.

    Seared Scallops
    Andrea A.

    This was one of the best dining experiences that I have had! But be forewarned that it does come at a price! I had dinner at the O Bar before attending an opera, during my visit to Sydney a few weeks ago. For starters, there really is not a bad seat since the restaurant revolves. Everyone is guaranteed beautiful views of the Sydney skyline! I started out with a Pear & Blackberry Shrubb, which was so good that I am thinking about trying to replicate the recipe at home. I then ordered the seared scallops as my first course. It was so delicious, I really didn't to be done with the meal! i then ordered the twice cooked tinder creek duckling as my main course. Again, another delicious meal! In addition to the excellent food and drinks, I was also impressed by the service. Our waitstaff was extremely attentive and checked on us frequently while not becoming obtrusive.

We did not have a reservation, but they fit us in as a walk-in at a small coffee table with 2 ottoman seats. Not the most comfortable set up, but I appreciate the cozy atmosphere, almost like you are sitting in someone's very posh and dimly lit den. All the NOLA classics were featured, like Vieux Carre (no likey), old fashioned (likey), and hurricane. There were some twists on the classics as well. I liked the newer house specialties, and ended up having 3 drinks, more than I intended. We snacked on some popcorn chicken, which was nothing special, but very satisfying when hungry. We were also lucky enough to be there when the live jazz band played a brief set, which really set the mood. I took off a star because not every drink was a homerun, and the service was a bit too impersonal for a speakeasy. We had a different server each time. One of my favorite parts of going to a speakeasy is to watch the bartenders work their magic and ask them for recommendations, and if I'm lucky, maybe get an off menu drink. Not quite set up that way here.

Well, I figured it out and I can't tell you how AWESOME it was! Dimly lit, trendy, hipster kitch. Think Shady Pines, but not so much Americana. Yes, cowboys. But also gypsies, persian carpets, camels and eastern flair. The owner, came over and introduced himself to us and was like, how did you hear about us? Well, we have the very uncool story that Isobel's mum told her about it. Yeah, I'm serious. LOL. We think it's funny as hell too, especially since the place was so great, so unknown. Her mum saw some live music here a few weeks ago. I should probably make up a cooler story about how I know about the place that makes me sound really awesome with my finger right on the pulse of avant guarde Sydney or something, so when I bring people here I can be like... yeah... I'm cool... man?!! We had wines which were delicious. I had an SA Pinot Noir. Hey, look! I'm trying to learn my wines! Be impressed. I'm a wine doofus. Downstairs is "Django Bar" which is I guess, not a music venue. Camelot is technically on the top floor, and is a music venue with some food... the garlic pizza is amazing. Perfectly garlicky and cheesy melty goodness. Sean Taylor was playing, he was described as a Chris Isaak acoustic guitar type.... well, wow, I could have easily stayed out til past midnight if it wasn't a school night. He was amazing. Everything was 5 star. I'm really glad to be able to write this review for such a great NEW establishment, but it's even better that it's in my home suburb of dear old MARRICKVILLE!!! Marrickville is seriously Sydney's Brooklyn. Seriously. Its coming up in the world. Watch out.
