Firedoor Restaurant

My real rating is not quite 5 but decided not to be pedantic with my review based on first visit on a busy Friday night. Everything is very well organised here from booking all the way through to service. Staff are quite professional and welcoming. The food is overall very nice but I think there were meals that missed the high mark (in our case the lamb which did not have enough fire grilling effect on and was slightly under-seasoned). I also think the drinks are over-priced compared to the offerings.

Was it Heaven or Hell ? Because only the Devil himself could take something mundane as cabbage and transform it into something decadent and desirable. I was lucky enough to attend the American Express Centurion Dinner . Most coveted ticket in town . I was not disappointed . Each dish was perfection . Lennox is not only a chef he is a artist .

I’m not a steak person, but the dry aged beef was out of this world. Honestly the best steak I’ve ever had and probably will ever have. The only recommendation I’d make is to go with a group of 4 or more. You have to order the set menu which is already quite a lot of food, but if you want to order the dry aged beef you have to order it on top of your set menu. Not sure if it’s standard, but the waitress subbed out the lamb course for us.. otherwise we would have had waaaay too much food for two people.

There's not enough stars to give this place. Incredible. Very fine dining but also incredibly relaxed. It's how food should be done. Lots of places in Sydney have plenty of hype attached to them but very few live up to it in the way Firedoor does. Course after course of incredible food. And the incredible service complimented the food perfectly. If top restaurants are run like clockwork then place is a fine Swiss watch. I have eaten in most of the top restaurants in Sydney and there's only two I would happily go back and this is definitely one. I look forward to next time I get come back. Thank you Firedoor for upping the standard in Sydney.

I went with so much expectation, but it just fell short. The food was great, and the cooking technique really makes a difference to the flavour, particularly the fish. On food alone, yes it is 5 stars. Wine pairings and elements of the service weren’t to the standard to match the food.

Over-hyped & exaggerated in a way but good value for price only if u take a lá carte menu. The ingredients r top notch, interesting layering but dessert was underwhelming & the food, full of salt for My palette.. but that's entirely me & my opinion. I ate better food in regular restaurants & fancy ones alike.

One of the best wood grilled restaurants. The chefs here are true masters. Truly a delightful culinary experience. Every dish is well balanced taste of the raw ingredient and the wood used.

Incredible meal & experience. Highly recommended

Yes the food was lovely but for what we spent and in comparison to other venues It was overpriced. We ordered set menu 5 courses, matching wines a cocktail each and the small steak. Total of $600 for 2 people. Ideally the steak should be included in the menu as this is the item on the menu the venue is known for and matching wines priced at 75pp instead of 99. All the items on the menu were equally memorable, no 'super star' dish. Service was great.

Worth the hype. Would definitely come back if they change their menu. We didn't love every dish on the menu but they were all beautifully cooked, and you can tell how much care was put in them. The 140 day dry aged wagyu was perfectly cooked as well, but it was way too rich on top of the lamb to be shared between 2 people. It was a bit more than what I would pay for it, but I suppose it's more justifiable if split between 4 people.
