Creme Brûlée
Justie L.

Our whole family is very into steak, mom in particular. So on our trip to Sydney, she of course insisted what we try Australian Wagyu. After some quick looking around, we decided on Meat & Wine Co, since their lunch deal seemed bangin'. The lunch deal includes a wine/beer/soda, and the choices of appetizer, entree, and dessert--all for $49. Sounds amazing, right? Well, it turned out to be a little bit too good to be true. I made a reservation for our party of 4 ahead of time, for Queen's Day, and signed each of us up for the lunch deal through their online platform. They informed us that there would be a $5 per person surcharge, which they do on Sundays and Holidays. Mildly annoying, but a nominal amount, so no big. When we arrived, the server informed us that they would not be offering the lunch special because it was a holiday. I explained that the reservation allowed us to select the lunch deal and after going to check with management, our server complied. 3 of our 4 went with the house red, with the fourth electing the house white. As someone who drinks a solid amount of red wine and isn't really all that picky about them, this was... not great. My aunt also did not care for her white wine. For the app, I had the beetroot and labne. I didn't realize that the beets would be pickled; they were a bit strong, but paired with the labne and rocket were pretty good. It was just a little bit stronger of a flavor that I was expecting for an appetizer. My sister and mom had the wagyu tartare, which they both said was very good but incredibly rich. It was a ton of tartare for their first course, they both agreed. My aunt had the calamari, which she said was decent as well. For our entrees, 3 of us had the wagyu rump and one had the steak sandwich--all with salad on the side. My wagyu was cooked closer to medium well than the medium I requested, but the glaze that they used on it was fantastic. My mom and aunt both said as well that their steak wasn't quite as tender as expected, but they both liked the glaze too. My sister's steak sandwich was also very good. The salads initially looked a little sad, with just lettuce and some radishes, but the vinaigrette used on it was superb. We all had the creme brûlée for dessert, which was pretty good but nothing really to write home about. To be fair, I feel like it's kind of hard to blow someone away with a creme brûlée. Service was okay and the food was decent; I'd have been annoyed though had we paid normal a la carte prices for what we got. Nothing that we had was outright bad, but I don't know that I'd necessarily recommend this as a must-visit restaurant in Sydney.

Great Christmas team lunch, amazing Wagu steak cooked to perfection with an amazing side of mash. The only downfall was the wait staff forgot my salad and I had to wait nearly 10 mins for it to come out. Great ambience and rest of service were good, staff friendly, with nice ambience. A must visit if in Barangaroo. Make sure you book. Good photo ops and of course grab a pic of that steak.

This is a very hip restaurant that was packed when we went, but we didn't have any trouble getting reservations day of. I loved the decor. The food and drinks were very good. I'd say that the service was fine, but not amazing. They do a really cool celebration for birthdays that we saw a few times throughout the evening. One thing that frustrated me was that we were given the option of still or sparkling water and we said still thinking it would be tap. They ended up bringing a bottle and charged us $9 without mentioning anything. We complained and the waiter took it off, but that was a little shady. At least be upfront about it.

Love this new flagship location in Barangaroo (new development in the Sydney waterfront area). Gorgeous modern space with all glass windows and lots of natural sunlight coming through. *Hint: book your dinner around sunset time. My family and I were visiting from the US. As first-time visitors, they wanted to try kangaroo meat and obviously steak from Oz. After some research, I brought them here for dinner, and they raved about the food! Yes, I have found *THE* place to go in Sydney for Aussie steak and 'roo meat! Recommend ordering: 1. wagyu ribeye steaks (with gorgeous grill marks) 2. beef ribs (so flavorful and juicy) 3. kangaroo loin skewer (so tender and not gamey at all), served with crispy onion strings -1 star for subpar and inattentive service... and I already lowered my high American standards too.

Marvelous atmosphere and decor. Chic and classy. Knowledgeable wait staff. Delicious food. Awesome desserts. One of the best meat restaurants in Sydney, I'm told. Who can complain about good meat and wine, right? Awesome location, no less.

Sorry, missing pictures again…read more.. Quality/Quantity - Sadly we did NOT spend enough time here. We discovered this museum the minute we got off the ship. Greeters were so friendly. Offered to take/store our luggage while we visit the museum. But my wife did not want to be late to meet our guests, so we decided to just hang out in the lobby. We actually came here, well to this area, a few times during our trip. And still did not get to spend enough time visiting the museum. We were lucky enough to catch the 50th anniversary Sydney Opera house light show here also! The Opera house is across the bay and we got comfortable stair seating. So many different exhibits, check out their website. Atmosphere - Beautiful and modern museum. Clean and plenty of bathrooms on each floor. Luggage service, free wifi, lobby seating, etc. Open when we visited, 6 days a week from 10am to 5pm or 9pm, closed Tuesdays. Yelp hours differ slightly. Currently says they are open the same days, but from 10am to 5pm; not until 9pm on Fridays. Service - 6 stars, so welcoming. Price - FREE!! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1991. On our next visit, we will be sure to MAKE the time to spend here! 2010 - Major remodel. 2012 - This location/wing opened. A 5 story wing, adding 50% more floor space. And the newest technology.

The museum is located by Sydney Harbor and close to circular Quay train stop. I've been looking…read moreforward to visiting, but the current exhibitions were not my preference. 30% of the exhibition were videos. The rooftop has minimal sculptures, but does have a restaurant with nice views of the Harbour. It's a large space but did not feel like there was a lot of content.

I shed tears, actual tears, tears of love lost, when the original District 01 off Oxford St shut…read moredown earlier this year. Sydney had lost one of her raddest venues and a place renowned for putting on ace performances, plays, sales, exhibitions and just about anything else you can think of. It was making way for a bakery. Now, I'm all for baked goods, but Sydney can't afford to lose little gems like this that add something irreplaceable to the fabric of this damned fine city. Huzzah, then, that District 01 has risen - phoenix-like! - from the ashes of corporate suckitude and is reincarnated in Randle Lane, a small, clean alleyway near Central Station and the place is cooler than ever. HUZZAH I SAY. I attended the relaunch party last night and while there were canapes and live tunes and drinks what I really got excited about was the venue: a white-walled space ready to be transformed into whatever, whenever. A blank canvas waiting for imagination to recreate it into anything the user desires. Light globes hang low from the ceiling. Entry is up the stairs of a repurposed loading dock. And . . . there's just something about partying in a secret alleyway that makes me feel cooler than I probably (er, actually) am.

This is definitely one of those places you've stumbled upon by accident and you want to keep it a…read moresecret. Down a little alleyway off a quiet street, there's a set of door with a sign on them that reads "District 01". Inside is a converted warehouse with white floors, walls and ceiling and a few stacks of white pallets. I was here for a Yelp event so the projector was beaming District 01 offers with intermittent Yelp logos. The night was fairly warm and humid but the venue remained cool enough even though it was packed with people. This is defo worth keeping in mind if you're an event coordinator/PR/marketing peep looking for cool, new venues for events.

I was with a group of four, dressed appropriately, dead sober, and simply trying to enjoy a night out. We couldn't find Palmer & Co., so we asked staff/people at Press for directions. They told us exactly where to go...cool, appreciated. We walk over to Palmer & Co., only to be told we "can't come in" with zero explanation. No dress code issue mentioned, no capacity issue mentioned, no behavior issued just a vague, dismissive rejection like we were supposed to read their minds. So we try The Establishment next. Same exact thing. Same attitude. Same refusal. Again, no reason given. At that point it's clear this isn't about rules. it's about arbitrary gatekeeping and staff who either don't know their own policies or don't care enough to explain them. If there is a reason people can't enter, maybe communicate it instead of making guests feel unwelcome and confused. Plenty of bars manage to be exclusive without being rude or vague. These three just come off as disorganized, pretentious, and. There are way better places nearby that actually want your business. So avoid Press, Palmer & Co., and The Establishment unless you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience.

Let's say that gaining entry can be a bit difficult. Somehow I first ended up in a food court…read morebefore I found some elevator hidden in a corner that got me to the entrance for the actual Eye Tower. I stood in line for the kiosk to purchase a ticket, but the folks in front of me had some difficulties with it and so an attendant came to help guide them through the process. Apparently I look old and confused because when it was my turn he just ask me how many and type of visit and before I knew it he handed me a senior discount ticket. Wasn't sure if I should be glad or insulted. I made my way up to the top on a rickety small elevator and arrived safely.. had my doubts there for a minute. Once you step out of the elevator the world opens up again. The view is spectacular and you can walk around the entire perimeter and view 360 degrees of Sydney. And may I say the city is huge. I delighted in seeing an actual working mailbox there which is marked the highest mailbox in Sydney, well yeah... Of course I bought the picture package, because who doesn't need silly commemorative pictures of oneself with Koalas, in a kangaroo pouch or atop of a map of Australia. Also I must say that the gift shop here was able to fill all my souvenir needs easily. It is extensive and reasonably priced too.

We had tickets to both the observation deck (inside) and the skywalk (outside). We got there early…read moreand checked in for the skywalk. While we waited, we cruised around the observation deck. 360 degree birdseye views of Sydney await you. At our skywalk time we reported to the checkin area and we ended up being the only people on the tour at that time. What a great opportunity to have a private tour of Sydney from above. Yuno was our guide and Lucinda our photographer. They were amazing. So knowledgeable about the city and lots of fun photo ops. It's quite the process to get ready to go outside. You wear a harness (kind of like zip lining). Over your harness goes a blue suit. Just before you go out, you can put on a warm coat over your gear and you also add a guide wire. The guide wire hooks into a track so there is no way you will fall off. It can get windy and cold up there so put on the jacket. There are glass floors along the track which are cool. At each direction (n-s-e-w) your guide gives an overview of what you are seeing. The whole event was way cooler than I thought it would be. We were outside for over 30 minutes. We were very glad we got tickets to try this.
