Fantastic views all the way round. Each rotation about 1 hour so you see the whole city in one visit. Great lounge area for pre-dinner drinks if your a late diner or post dinner drinks if you book an early spot. This is the type of restaurant and bar you don't need to move on from after dinner. Great atmosphere and very attentive service.
Food was exceptional, great selection and conveniently priced as a set cost for 2 or 3 courses. A dedicated and well thought out Plant Based menu was essential for us as we have vegans in the family. From what we ordered you could happily enjoy an entire plant based meal as the selection was sufficiently varied.
The only suggestion I have is that the music was at times a bit too night club for a relaxed dinner looking over the beautiful view of the city and harbour. Perhaps the music was suitable for the bar and lounge area, but something a little more jazz background for the restaurant area would have really set the tone.
Value for money. The set price menu is great and at $90 pp for 2 courses, if you had 2 glasses of wine each it would be a $250 dinner which is right on point for this type of venue. However, the lounge bar area and massive selection of spirits, cocktails, wines and other drinks makes it very easy to get carried away. This isn't a criticism of the venue, but for first time players, beware of the bill shock if you order too many nitro chilled martinis!
Highly recommended.

We dined again at O Bar on 2 Jan after discovering the new Plant Based Tasting Menu. Again the food was exceptional. 5 courses were served over 2 hours, every dish was well thought out, fantastic taste combinations and presented excellently. The wait staff again were very pleasant and efficient. The atmosphere was great and this time the music was at a great level to allow quiet conversation between us.
For vegans who are looking for fine dining, O Bar has put themselves in the top ranking and we highly recommend the tasting menu. At $140 per head it is reaeonably priced for the quality of food and service you receive.
Bravo O Bar, we will be back again.
