Jordan Km: My partner and I visited O-bar yesterday evening for a belated birthday dinner for him. I was extremely excited to go here and my family kindly helped us pay to have some snacks and drinks here as a present for him. Straight out of the elevator the first thing we were met with was quite a strong smell of sewage. At first I thought maybe we were right next to the bathrooms but we weren’t, and even then it was really unpleasant and not how I expected my first impression to be. Then for the bar snacks we ordered sweet potato fries (which were lovely) and the feta and chilli hummus dips (each dip was $14 which I thought was very expensive). When I ordered I asked what the feta and hummus came with and the waitress said bread which I was pleased with. When the food arrived however we received a single half a piece of sourdough each and that was it. I was really surprised about this as I assumed surely each dip would have at least come with half a piece of bread on their own let alone me having ordered two, if that was the way they chose to serve the food. There were two of us, two dips and half a piece of bread each. I wasn’t sure if we were just supposed to eat the rest with a spoon and honestly for the price both were really average. Later on when we both had our drinks I decided to ask if there was anything else small on the menu we could order as I was still hungry and the waitress said there was in fact extra bread for $3. I was more than happy to order and pay for that (which I did) however I wish that this would have at least been offered alongside the dips, or better they just give you more accompaniments in the first place. During our experience there the smell of sewage didn’t really go away either and none of the wait staff addressed it. Finally when I went to pay I was asked if I would like to add a tip and I said no. I then noticed on my receipt that an almost $11 gratuity tip had been added? I wasn’t sure if this was just standard and the tip was meant to be extra or if this was the tip and the lady didn’t press no on the machine but I was really unhappy about it. Normally I would have just left it. But this was meant to be a one off amazing experience and it wasn’t. The place smelled terrible, and we spent nearly $42 on bar snacks and received half a piece of bread and that was it, on top of spending $142 overall including the drinks. I do want to be transparent and say the staff were lovely and refunded me the gratuity amount which I did feel really awful about. They were all pleasant no issues there. It was more the lack of value for money, the poor smelling environment, overpriced and very average tasting food.

Sigrid Buela: The waiter on our side was unprofessional in answering our questions. One instance was when my husband asked him about what to order for a 3-course meal, it was our first time dining at your restaurant so we are not familiar and just making sure, that waiter responded in a rude tone with "I already told you this" before answering him. He was also sarcastic and seemed annoyed. This made our mood a bit sour as I saw a difference on how he assisted us and with the other dining customers. However, I still gave him the benefit of the doubt.Second, I saw that the customers across our table, who were celebrating a birthday as well, were given a birthday card/voucher/gift, I'm not sure what it was but the women thanked the waiter for the gift and a "Happy Birthday" was written on the card. I am not sure why my husband wasn't treated the same as I have mentioned in my booking that we are also celebrating his birthday.

Jules Niko: A beautiful environment with the perfect view. Unfortunately for the price we paid, we’ve had way better degustation food. The beef was very rubbery, the chicken pretty standard. The oysters were sooo tasty and so was the dessert. We weren’t really impressed when they secretly add the gratituities to the final bill which I believe to be rude as it’s up to me whether the service was deserving of a tip or not. Overall, a nice evening but I rather go to other restaurants that give the degustation experience as well such as Aria,Rockpool and Altitude.

Paul Diss: We had reservations for dinner and were seated by the window. The view and atmosphere were both incredible! The service and food tasting menu were also both outstanding and would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice evening out!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Daroy Cortwright: I recently went on a date at O Bar and Dining, this awesome contemporary restaurant and cocktail bar situated on the 47th floor of the Australia Square Tower in Sydney CBD. Let me tell you, the view from up there was absolutely mind-blowing! We snagged a table right by the window, and the panoramic 360-degree views of the city skyline and the sparkling Harbour during Vivid were simply breathtaking. And guess what? They even had this cool light display cocktail and share plate that perfectly matched the vibe.Now, onto the food. We decided to go all out and indulge in the five-course set menu, along with an extra course. I gotta say, those dishes were like pieces of art! Seriously, check out the photos I've attached. The attention to detail in every meal was incredible, from the presentation to the explosion of flavors. It was a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.When it came to drinks, we had a mix of both drinkers and non-drinkers in our group. Luckily, O Bar and Dining had a great selection of cocktails and mocktails to please everyone. Although, I should mention that the mocktails tended to be on the sweeter side. But hey, if you have a sweet tooth, you'll absolutely love them!The atmosphere at O Bar and Dining was vibrant and lively. The music was just right—not too loud, not too soft. We could enjoy our conversations without straining our vocal cords. However, if someone has difficulty hearing, they might find it a bit challenging due to the ambient noise.The service we received was top-notch. From the hostess to the wait and bar staff, everyone was on their A-game. We showed up a bit early for our reservation, but they quickly seated us without any hassle. The staff explained the whole five-course dining experience to us, and we even splurged on some caviar with one of the courses. The wait staff seemed genuinely excited to engage with us, although at times, we had multiple people describing the same dish, which was a bit amusing. One minor thing to note: one of the waiters hastily stacked all the plates on his arm, which seemed a bit out of place in such a fancy dining spot.Now, let's talk about the price. Look, it's not the cheapest place in town, but trust me, it's worth every penny if you're after a memorable experience. This is the kind of night you won't forget. The jaw-dropping views, the meticulously crafted food, the attentive service, and the vibrant atmosphere—they all come together to create an unforgettable dining adventure. I wouldn't hesitate to go back for another round of fantastic moments.Parking: This is in the CBD of Sydney, you're better off driving and catching a train or tram.Wheelchair accessibility: This venue is wheelchair accessible.

lumsing: The views were stunning, the food was delicious and the service was great! The views made more stunning with Sydney lighting up during vivid. They even had light up cocktails during vivid. I could have easily stayed up there a few more hours! Nice vibe, tables were spaced apart well enough that you can actually hear your friends talking and not everything else around you. Fab experience!

Steve Pronin: Its only the second time I have been to rockpool and this was for our engagement and my now fiancé has never been until now. I had always spoken very highly of the restaurant, and she had always ask me to take her there, so of course I was excited to take her there! We were completely blown away with just have amazing Rockpool and the whole team are, and I am only full of praise for the whole team at Rockpool. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was flawless. The welcome team, our waiters and sommelier were outstanding, with perfectly timed service, answers to questions, and recommendations. Everyone in the kitchen from the executive chef right down the line has this menu nailed, you could not have got it more perfect if you tired any harder, I truly believe you could choose anything on this menu and love it totally even if you think you normally would not like one or two ingredients. Combinations so perfectly balanced, and considered that every mouthful leaves you wanting more. Again to everyone at Rockpool I thank you for making an amazing night even better, you are amazing we cannot wait to come back and bring our families to enjoy everything you have to offer.

Tim McArtney: Going downhill faster than a black run on the slopes. Super excited for a trip here, but were very quickly disappointed.Where to start? Endless bread and butter was not endless, but rather only offered twice...after we asked. A couple seated 1/2 way through our meal were given B&B straight away...maybe because we had to keep asking.Entrees were delicious, but we ate them sheepishly as we ordered one serving but came out as two, which was not communicated to us...might have enjoyed it more if we had known...Main meat (priced over $100 for 300g) was chewy and not cooked properly. Almost bitter, and we were impressed just how bad it was.Sides were overcooked and oily (potatoes, pumpkin and brussels sprouts) to which we feel we were 'upsold' as it was far too much food.Walked upstairs to go the toilet only to be ignored by several staff members who surely must have seen my inquisitive looking...Yes, before writing this review I emailed them. I didn't wish to publicly 'name and shame' however, it was the lamest response, to which they said 'come back and give us another chance'....Everytime another restaurant/business/service/any other person offers you to come back, they usually offer a voucher or discount...but nope, nothing. I even hinted at it, to which they again gave a pretty lame response of hope to see you soon.If you've got this far in my review, well done, reading this is way juicer than the steak they offer.Head over to Porteno on Holt Street in Surry Hills for a much better experience.If you can't tell, I don't recommend going here. Famous in the 90s, Forgotten about in the 2020s.

Jairo A: Went for lunch on a Tuesday at around 12:15. Went straight to the bar and grabbed drinks and burgers.Really good, juicy and full of flavour without having to have heaps of sauces.Had mac n cheese and empanadas as sides. Best empanadas I've had in Sydney.Burgers one of a kind. I'm not an expert, can't say they are the best in town, but I am definitely having my next one here.About $50 pp including tasty beer and old fashion cocktail. Beer was a hazy IPA from Pirate Life. It helped washing down all the flavour from burgers and sides.Quick service, great place to stay and have a chat.
