Rockpool Bar & Grill

Neil Perry's empire seems to have no limits of late. The Rockpool Bar & Grill is a winning formula that equally satisfies the lunchtime business crowd as much the discerning nightly foodies. You come here for the steaks, which are exceptional and you are not short of choice. Steak choice is personal but they'll have something you like. Just as good is the Alaskan sea crab or nip into the bar area for their now infamous Wagyu burger which at $20 or so is the best value thing you'll find on an otherwise somewhat pricey menu.

Trendy, central but as far as I'm concerned nothing special. Located in an interesting old repurposed building...........art deco.

Plenty of people have talked about the food and wine, so it's worth mentioning the cocktails. This is, somewhat surprisingly, one of the top cocktail bars in Sydney. The bartenders really know their stuff, and it's well worth a visit just to sit at the bar and enjoy some fabulously made cocktails.

After much deliberation on which of the top restaurants in Sydney to go to for my wife's birthday I decided to surprise her with a trip to the Rockpool bar and grill. The decor is beautiful and classic but the high ceiling's do give a slightly cold and impersonal feel to the restaurant. We were instantly welcomed by the all of the staff and cannot fault any of the service we received, the biggest let down however was the food. My wife is a big seafood and fish lover so she decided on one of the white fish on offer and I went for crab pasta. The fish arrived a small overcooked tasteless dry fillet with a tiny helping of spinach. My pasta was also over cooked and bland. Both meals were not what you would expect from the high standard it's known for. We left very quickly after the one course as we were both so disappointed. On a positive side though the wine list is very extensive and vast for wine lovers. The wine we had was beautiful as recommended by our waiter. Overall the meal was vastly over priced and a big disappointment.

Service and food were amazing at Rockpool Bar and Grill.

Excellent food and service, steaks were cooked perfectly (medium-rare) and the entrees and sides all very nice. Fantastic wine list.

This is a very good restaurant , one would ALMOST say fine restaurant. The ambience of the art deco surrounds - superb. The wait staff and sommeliers - knowledge, subtle, efficient and courteous. The food - to die for and course sizes not requiring a microscope to view. I would have given this venue 5 stars except that the noise level was far to high for a fine dining establishment and the lighting was so dim - 1 table in 3 were using their smart phones torches to view the menu. Wine list is extensive but prices are highly inflated, then again this is pretty much the norm for this quality of restaurant.

nice dining experience. went for lunch and had t-bone steak which was much bigger than expected. It was so juicy and tasty I wish i could go back more often!

The corn side is amazing, service was above and beyond, will be back.

This is one of the best restaurants in Sydney. Superb food and wines. It's not cheap, but you will be impressed by the meals. The place for special occasions.
