The Dining Room

A+ for cuisine and location! Attached to the Pullman at Circular Quay, you'll find the restaurant on the 1st floor, one floor down from the hotel's lobby. Enjoyed the four-course tasting menu which opened with two seafood course: some succulent tuna (after some initial bread), followed by seared scallop. This lead to an amazing wagyu beef main course, full of flavour and well complemented with truffle sauce, accompanied by deliciously prepared mushroom and potato. A chocolate mousse cake wrapped up an impressive meal. It may sound weird, but I can recommend the Pink Lemonade if you are looking for a soft accompaniment to the meal. The portions were well sized, making for a filling (and absolutely satisfying) meal. Staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout. The dining space itself is as artistic as the food, and offers and excellent view over Circular Quay. Definitely a recommendation if you are looking for amazing food, views, and staff!

We loved everything about this place starting with the location. You are away from the hustle and bustle and loud music but can still see everything including the bridge so the location is awesome. The service and food were impeccable We selected the 4 course pescatarian dinner and it was Devine and the service was to the highest standard Highly recommend

The decor is low key in a great position overlooking Circular Quay. Service was attentive and very polite. But the food let it down... We ordered from the three course menu; portions were extremely small more like a degustation size for all three courses. Entree: stuffed zucchini flowers with scallops...that was 3 tiny scallops with 1 stuffed zucchini flower and a sauce that was quite delicious. I must admit I was taken back by the size of the portion. Then Mains: Red snapper with muscles and slow cooked Beef. Unfortunately my small snapper portion had barely any flavour at all and I felt really sorry about my partners choice of the beef as there were 2 very thin slices of beef (apron 5cm in diameter) on a barely empty plate. We had ordered a side of mash potato which was a larger portion than the mains, but was a welcome addition for both of us. It did feel like a side dish with main on the side. Dessert was supposed to be chocolate mouse with sorbet, but in reality was 2 small half teaspoons of tasty choc mouse on the side of a scoop of sorbet, with flavourless frozen raspberries on the side. Don't bother ordering this one at all. Overall was disappointed with the food, but the staff were lovely.

Very disappointing experience. Booked the $85 four course tasting menu (which is currently advertised on the website), but when we were presented with the menu, it was not an option - only the a la carte and $99 three course menu was available. So we settled for the three course menu. First course of scallops was lovely, but the lobster bisque was inedible - tough and overcooked. I had to spit each bite out as it was too chewy. We were not offered a spoon with the bisque, so kind of difficult to eat. I informed the waiter that I couldn't eat it.....but nothing happened - he just carried about his business. Absolutely not worth the money we were charged. Service was mediocre. Was supposed to be a special treat for my daughter's birthday, but it did not feel special at all. We left feeling very underwhelmed.

Our expectations for food and service were okay. Some of the food tastes great, and a few once not good like orecchiette with scallop and other ingredients were overcooked no staff however there was no touchpoint to ask if the dish was good because hardly did we eat it and we didnt recive our side dish. On arrival, we requested a table, and the team leader said the staff is a small team and we cant clean a dirty table now as we are busy (however half of the restaurant was empty, and some guests have finished eating). This is an unexpected experience. Overall presentation of food was great.
