Great option in the basement of 1 Martin Place, which is connected to the Westin. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We just came from the Blue Mountains and were super casual and grimy from the rain, but no one cared how disheveled we looked, and in fact, gave us wonderful service all around. We both had steaks that were excellent, but I will note that, in general, Australia (and New Zealand) cook their steaks more done then in the US, so order how you like your steak accordingly. The steaks had great taste (we chose the prime and dry age vs the wagyu) and the sides were great. Potato purée was buttery and creamy and the broccoli I was well seasoned and perfectly al dente. Again, the service was great. Sophie was incredible. Highly recommended! read more

Note: Their version of "Prime" might not be what you're used to. As for me, I was expecting USDA Prime...but that's not the case here. I guess "Prime" is just their name. With that said, the steak was decent, but overall service was great. Nice decor, great ambiance. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and gave a great recommendation for a tripel style Australian beer too, and it was awesome. Finished the night with a souffle and ice cream. Very nice. read more

Awesome atmosphere. Food was wonderful- oysters to start followed by grass fed rib eye. Excellent wine list. The location is rather odd - downstairs in the GPO. But, don't be deterred. read more

Very good dinner with impressive steak and even better service. I had the sirloin and it was very, very good. The portion was a very generous size and I couldn't finish it. Had it with the lyonnaise potatoes, which was nice and creamy and just the right portion. The brussel sprouts were also very good though a bit on the salty side. The dinner was very well attended by staff who we're always courteous and didn't bother our group that much. Prices are on the high side at almost $100 per head with a drink and a 10% tip. read more

**I just want my ketchup !!!!** Located at the basement of Westin Hotel, the restaurant is an ideal place for dates or business meetings. The tables are not too close to one another and the lighting is just right. Food was pretty good but unfortunately my medium fillet medallions were a little overcooked. Nonetheless, it was a delicious meal. This would have been a four stars rating if the service was on par. It took over 10 mins and three different waiters to get my small serving of ketchup for my fries. When I wanted more ketchup, it took again another 10 mins and two different waiters....How difficult can it be to serve a small container of ketchup? Im not sure if i will be back again. Afterall I just wanted some ketchup.... read more

Prime Steak Restaurant - Fillet with fries - Steakhouses Near Me - Sydney, NSW

The steak medallions were amazing. My knife slipped through the meat as if I was slicing butter. The French fries (chips) were perfect. They were not greasy and had the perfect crunch. Eating in a beautiful restaurant with all sandstone walls. read more

Wow, don't even know where to start with this review. Everything that was presented was of the highest quality I've ever had. The sommelier paired a perfect Chardonnay with our Waygu Chateaubriand. This steak was so tender that I could have literally cut it with one of those plastic spoons that airlines give you. The steak was presented with a potato fondant topped with a small salad that complimented each other perfectly. If you go here be sure to get the pepper sauce to put on EVERYTHING you order. If I could have an IV of this pepper sauce, I could die happily. My desert was a cheesecake topped with fresh mango, passion fruit, and ginger. I'm normally not big on ginger but this was so subtle that the occasional spice refreshed my palette with each bite. If you are in Sydney, this is a must. The only down side to this restaurant is that it's a little difficult to find but that also adds to the exclusivity that you experience with dining here. 5 stars without hesitation. read more

One of the best meals of my life. Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Location: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars Value: 5 stars This is a steakhouse. You will be served one of the best steaks of your life. The menu has 1 page of starters and mains - and 3 full pages of steaks. The steaks run from about $55 to $125 (with plenty of options in the lower and mid price range). My bill for a dinner for 2 with 2 steaks, 2 sides, 2 glasses of wine each (4 total) was just $250. The restaurant is a bit fancy but you'd feel perfectly comfortable in jeans and a button up. The waiters were all had incredible knowledge of the menu and were all very friendly and helpful. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Go here. read more

I have been here a few times and taken clients here and have enjoyed the food here. It is a steakhouse that serves excellent steaks and a few other bits and pieces. It is not cheap and it is easy to miss as it is located in the back of the food area in the GPO. The place has a colonial feel to it and suited waiters etc. If you are looking for a good steak in Sydney this would be one of my top choices for it. read more

I mean, it's fine. Tomatoes aggressively average, roast mushroom and spinach purée... mushroom tasteless, and purée bitter. Meat well cooked but a bot tough. Sure, if you're staying in the hotel above, otherwise give a miss. Staff friendly and wine not cheap but good. read more

Took an interstate colleague here recently and the food was very good. Was a quiet night and the staff were attentive. The wine list is extensive yet expensive but a good red is what their high quality steak needs. Good set up and suits the ambience of the GPO. The only downfall is that the horseradish was creamed and came from a jar - c'mon guys, it's the small things. read more

This review is for Prime's private dining and GPO event planning, and not just a general dining experience. It was my birthday recently, and I wanted to organize a small intimate dinner and cabaret experience for a group of my close friends. I contacted the events office and spoke with an events consultant about some options for a private dining party at Prime. She advised me of packages, guests, restrictions, and pricing, and then based on my guest list and preferences, suggested I pick the best option. My party had 12 people and after a lot of uhm-ing and ahh-ing, I decided that I'd let my guests order from the a la carte menu with pre-ordered bottles (keeping in mind that a minimum spend applied). The restaurant is in the stunning Grand Post Office Building at No 1 Martin Place. The theme of my birthday was Breakfast at Tiffany's and we felt GRAND descending the beautiful staircase in our finery (note: the Westin shares a lobby with some of the restaurants and shops...it can get all very confusing!). Prime is tucked away in a corner and is in a very private location. As I had booked a private dining room, we were whisked away to the back of the restaurant by a team of staff and seated in a cavernous room, sealed off from the rest of the diners. The private room is like a cave, and one diner commented that she felt like she was underground in a cellar. There is a special area where staff pre-arrange your wine, food, and any other requests you might have like place cards, or technology-related requests. This room seems popular for corporate presentations as they have AV facilities too. Service is prompt and quick, my wine glass was never empty. Food came quickly and was absolutely divine. Oh and the dessert. OH. MY. GOD. If you ever go to Prime, make sure you order the fondant au chocolat. So freaking amazing. The bill...not so much :). Mains range from $36 to $67 (and $100+ for the chateaubriand). If you do a three course with wine for two, be prepared to sell a kidney beforehand. In saying that, it's a place you go to when you're celebrating. There is a dinner + show package even for a regular night out. It's definitely worth checking out the cabaret later on and dance the night away! (Rumor has it that it is quite difficult to get a reservation and wait times are weeks on end. I'm not sure about the veracity of this information, but as anyone will tell you about any great restaurant in Sydney, make that reservation as early as possible!) read more

Came here for a dinner, after having come a couple of times myself already. Great atmosphere and decor. Requested 2 medium rare steaks. Got 2 medium well steaks. One of the steaks was very salty. The other steak was cooked better. Scallop entree was good, and beef tartare entree was also good (albeit slightly strong in odour). Service seemed professional, but slightly condescending. Also, requested cocktail menu but waiter forgot to bring it. read more

Truly high quality dining. I had the grass-fed Scotch sirloin cooked rare. Fabulous taste and tender. I would put it in the top 5 of steaks I've ever eaten (the most amazing being a dry-aged steak I had at Bavette's in Chicago). The dessert for me was a chocolate souffle and that I would say is probably the best one I have ever had (and that said by someone who lived for over 8 years in France) because thus soufgle was so light and airy it was like a hot mousse au chocolat. The espresso was also superbe. read more

We thought we'd have a nice quite relaxing dinner. What a mistake as there was a very large party group who were extremely noisy. The made the night a disappointment. The service and food were good but the experience overall was poor. read more

Let me just say this: Wow! It was a true dining experience. Nick and the staff there did a fantastic job for me and my dining companions. It was a top-notch night. From the starters to the mains, to the steak sampler. The menu can be a bit overwhelming, so I recommend the trio platter, which is enough to share (I did.) Great ambiance, attentive staff and scrumptious sides as well - I also recommend the Brussels Sprouts - we shared those as well. Outstanding. Looking forward to an opportunity to come again! read more

This restaurant is truly the best restaurant I have ever been to. The food was amazing, the environment was very pleasant, and the staff was incredibly helpful and personable. We started out looking over the menu and our waiter was more than helpful with answering any questions we had and making suggestions for us. We also had a bottle of wine that was suggested to us by the sommelier. Not only was the wine paired perfectly with the meal, but the food was of such high quality and the taste was incredible. For dessert I had the chocolate fondant and it was just as wonderful as the rest of the meal. Overall, I am so glad that we found this restaurant because it really is one to remember. I wish I had this restaurant where I live so that I could visit more frequently. read more

Here on business, staying at The Westin upstairs. I hate hotel restaurants so decided to check this place out. Service was great. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. Great wine list. Overall good experience. read more

I wanted to give 5 stars, but honestly the service is not always up to par. The food is always amazing; if you like steak then stop reading this and go book a table, NOW. Amazing. But it's pricey - Wagyu - not F1 crosses but the real deal - doesn't come cheap. That's fine, but if I'm shelling out over $350 for dinner for 2, the service better be spec-fuckin-tacular. And it's just not. Sometimes they mix up the dishes, sometimes they're glacially slow, sometimes they don't know the menu like you'd expect at such a place. So...plus minus. read more

First review in a while, because they deserve it. Service was outstanding, like white glove outstanding. Food was pretty solid too. Really a faultless experience, definitely lead by each of the staff. Will be back. read more

This is one of my favourite restaurants. The elegantly lit sandstone foundations of the GPO building add to an atmosphere that is timeless and quietly confident. The menu is relatively simple for a restaurant at this price range, but everything you want is here. As long as you want the best beef in the country and the things that go with it. Cafe de Paris? But of course, sir. Minted peas with bacon? On the way. A shiraz stolen from Jesus' wine cellar? Coming right up. I once shared the house chateaubriand with a friend. Possibly the best piece of meat I've ever tasted. The service is a little formal, but questions are always answered with a smile. Go here for the best steak restaurant in the country. The website is pretty sucky, but don't let that faze you. Book with confidence. read more

went there for my sister 's birthday dinner and the experience was amazing!! there were 5 of us and we spent over 800 with wine, some entree and desserts. their red wine was awesome but nowhere near their steak!! it was the bomb lol amazeballs! i got the 9+ wagyu aged and it was so nice and soft. they even gave us complimentary desserts and wrote happy birthday for my sister too!! expensive place but worth it. read more

Wow, if you want to make sure that you never enjoy a steak from anyplace else you really should come here. The service was great up until the rest. got busy. After that the service didn't become bad just really really slow. However well worth it. read more

As part of our visit to Australia, my wife and I made dinner reservations for Prime Steak on Monday January 25th. As other reviewers have noted, Prime is located in the Westin Hotel building but is on the lower level so find the Westin and you'll be close. We started off with the olives and bread combination-both were very good. For our main course, my wife had the Wagyu steak-the 200 gram fillet (200g) while I had the ocean trout. We've dined at a dozen or so of the best steakhouses in Chicago and other large cities-my wife found this Wagyu steak to be the finest she's had. It was cooked exactly as requested-medium rare-the steak could be easily cut and was full of flavor-you won't go wrong with this choice. My trout was accompanied by an orange and carrot puree which was very flavorful. As a side dish, we had the mushrooms caps with goat cheese-this too was excellent. Desert was the chocolate fondant which was the perfect size for sharing-it was full of flavor but wasn't an overwhelming amount of food. Service was excellent-attentive without being overbearing. All in all, Prime deserves its current rating as the top steakhouse in Sydney and is one of the best steakhouses we've been to on our ongoing tour of the top rated steakhouses in cities we visit. read more

I've been to many steakhouses in Australia and the US - these were the best steaks my wife and I have ever had. We ordered the wagu 6+ fillet and scotch. Incredible flavor and texture. Desserts (soufflé and fondant) also magnificent and on par with the steaks. Superb service - very knowledgable staff - helpfully explained variations of the steaks in terms of flavor and tenderness. Ambience also great - quiet, warm lighting - perfect for conversation. Just a magic way to end the day. read more
