This is a famous steak house restaurant at the star, its best to book in advance. The steak they served here are very good quality. The price are not exactly cheap, but it's worth the price. They do have other dishes and desserts aswell. They do change their menu from time to time. I remembered the last time we had quail aswell. 😊 eating

K. S.

Absolutely phenomenal! The food, the ambiance and the service were incredible! Even though BLACK is a steakhouse they catered for a vegetarian who was at our table. We also had another person who doesn’t enjoy eating steak but changed their mind when they tasted the steak BLACK offered. Everything that was placed on our table was throughly enjoyed - nothing went to waste.

J. L.

Steak was delicious! Juicy and seasoned well. We also ordered Steak tartare as the entree and while it was really good, the decoration was a bit overdone with copious amounts of cilantro on top. Chips were also fantastic however the mash potatoes were a let down as they were very under seasoned and a little reminicent of playdough (it's usually great but this time not so much). Must of been a busy night as the waiter wasnt the most helpful to us but overall the night was a good experience

The best restaurant cannot describe any better. Cooked to perfection food at its best everything was on par. Waiter was very attentive from beginning to end. Highly recommended & best of luck to get a booking so book very early. Will most definitely be back again.

BLACK has to be one of my favourite Restaurants in Sydney. I have dined here several times & I cannot fault it… Perfect Food & Service - Always a winner! Keep up the fantastic work.

J. L.

Been to THE STAR many times, never known this place until now, was really great! The foods, the kitchen, the service,,, trust me it’s invulnerable perfect!

Black Bar & Grill - One of the highlight dining experiences during my recent visit in Sydney. Situated inside of The Star Casino, the location is sensational but I picked this restaurant by hearing the great reputation of the dishes themselves, not by the location - so the modern, beautiful decor and the great view of the water was a great bonus! We booked just a week before but escorted to the window seat. The food was excellence. Precisely cooked. Very Very Very impressed by the customer service. Very attentive staff （our waiter PARTEEK ， runner DIEGO and MICHAEL） and courteous service. They served my family very well and politely - constantly checked up on our table and made sure that we always had drinks, our table cleaned and that we are happy with our meals. Every server did a great job and I will definitely be going to Outback again with our server.

E. L.

A pleasant experience family dinner. Great service. Food was good. Highly recommended grill vs of anything else.

G. K.

Great food great service! Highly recommend. There is a reason why this resto has been around for so long.

One of my favorites restaurants at Star Casino, it's always a hit with every meal, the service and the drinks.

Black is one of the best steakhouses I have ever been in Sydney. The meat is cooked to exactly as you ordered it. I had the rib-eye and the meat was cooked exactly to perfection. No sauce was needed to be added as the seasoning was perfectly balanced. Meat just melts in my mouth and taste absolutely of heaven. The entrees are delicate and delightfully introduces your tastebuds to what you will be expecting for your meal. Worth every penny!

A. M.

Absolutely delicious meals for our family. Attentive staff and cocktails surprisingly quick (might have been the early sitting helped). Highlights include the caviar with fresh blinis and the steaks with lots of sauce options. And I ate far too much of the creamed corn!

K. C.

One of the best steaks in Sydney, a large variety of wines and staff are always helpful. Also recommend the duck takes 20 to 30 mins wait but worth it, it's quite big and it will be enough for 2 people.

S. Z.

Great environment for couples and girls night. All waiters are thoughtful and helpful. Tried two recommended cocktails and they are nice. The wool burning steak is amazing. And I love the sides!

J. R.

Absolutely incredible service from the staff. We had franchesca and George waiting our table. We felt very very comfortable and welcome for such a beautiful ritzy restaurant. I would definitely eat here again and I could not fault a single part of our meal or service. Thanks guys !

Visited Black Bar & Grill to celebrate a birthday and it was a lovely experience. We ordered the wagyu tasting chefs selection and it’s a very good quality offering for 2 people. The sides were all delicious too especially the Mac & cheese and the creamed corn. The wine selection is extensive and the service is top notch. It’s an expensive experience but enjoyable nonetheless.

M.

We never made a reservation, however this restaurant managed to fits us in the bar area! They catered for us and looked after us the whole night! We were there for just the cocktails and of course the desserts! The chocolate ganache was amazing! Please try if you do visit! And make sure you have your video ready as they will pour hot chocolate all over the dessert, you can watch it melt in front of your eyes!!! It tasted heavenly!!!!!!! Soooooo damn good!! The cocktails were also delicious! So refreshing! I loved the ambience and vibe, so elegant and classy inside. I love it! Next time I will book a dinner reservation! If the dessert and cocktails are amazing, then everything else must be!!! I can’t wait to try 🥰🥰🥰 Only one negative feedback, we ordered 2 chocolate ganache but only 1 came out! We explained to them that it should have been 2 but that apologised and brought the second one out!

G. M.

The most incredible experience at Black bar and grill. Amrita and Belinda were exceptionally attentive, making sure we we fed and watered. Recommending the best entrees and deserts. The ambiance and the food was second to none and I cannot thank the 2 above enough for the tremendous experience. This is the 2nd visit to Black and I will continue to return and recommend to my friends and my family. Again, the most amazing food. The Strip wagyu beef is definitely a must!!!!

E. B.

We arrived in the hopes that there may have been a cancellation in order to get a table as we had heard the place was booked out. It wasn't even an issue, they kindly accommodated the 2 of us and immediately set us up with drinks. Husband had the "troppo" cocktail and I a delicious pinot noir. Every single thing we ate was delicious, the oysters were fresh and tasty, Moreton Bay bug cooked to perfection with a surprise twist of a cauliflower salad being a star. I had the toothfish for main course and husband had one of the daily special steaks. Both were absolutely flawless and the sides were delicious as well. Not only was the food excellent, the service was fantastic. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive, the perfect combination! Will definitely return next time we visit Sydney.

Service, Food, Drinks & Location = Perfect. Could not have asked for a better night. We were greeted by our server Prateek who was fantastic through out our service time. you can tell how passionate he is about working at Black Bar & Grill with his attitude, performance & attire. His personality makes the experience something to remember along with the fantastic food. We both had the Reviver Cocktail which was fantastic! a taste of sweet with citrus! definitely good enough to have more than 1! We Started with the Charcuterie Board which is a light selection of meat with some other paring selections. The Wagyu Tasting Chefs Selection for our main is a meal to remember! absolutely incredible - 3 types of meats that melt in your mouth in different ways - a must have! We were given some sauce to pair with too! We ordered the 3 sides to accompany our main to ensure we had the chance to try what we could! they were the Mac & Cheese 3 cheese, Mushroom Ragout & the Cos Lettuce Salad - all side dishes worked perfectly with our main and complimented each other. For dessert we had the Creme Brulee that was that nights special & the Apple tatin, both amazing desserts with a array of flavors that all worked incredibly well! Thank you Prateek for the amazing memorable service, thank you to the Chefs for preparing & serving food that is just as memorable. We are returning very soon & are looking forward to the amazing service & equally as amazing food. Excuse the photos we were too excited to take the time to take some good photos 3rd Time attending- adding more photos - Scallops & Beef Carpaccio Beef Carpaccio was AMAZING, scallops were fantastic too. I had a table for 6 booked & they accommodated & looked after us all very well. I am always extremely happy with the service Black Bar & Grill provides & recommend to everyone when the opportunity arises.

Great place for a feed. The food was well done!!!

K. N.

Had a blast at trying all the different cuts of steak. Definitely worth the price, considering the grading. With a variety to pick from, just have to have all of them. Meat was juicy and cooked just right, will come back for another occasion

R. L.

Spent a very enjoyable evening dining on some great food and wines. Lovely surprise of some olives and bread to start the evening. The service is top notch, the wait staff and sommelier guided us to a great selection of very drinkable wines. Steak is great, sides tasty, entrees even better than . All meals perfectly balanced.

W. N.

Great dinning experience. During there during our anniversary and we were very impressed with this place. They have divine customer services, and the food and their presentation are brilliant! Their see-through kitchen with spotless kitchen benches have proofed that hygiene and delicious can co-exist. They are serious about their business. Once being greeted and seated, the complementary brioche is to die for! Nicely baked with black salt with melted butter! tip: ask for a re-fill if you can. ;) For entrée - the smoky octopus we ordered was so good that already made an impression that 'the best are yet to come'. And that didn't failed our expectation. Their mains were very impressive. I ordered steak and it was cooked just the way i wanted. Their mushroom sauce was very genuine with mushrooms rather than sauce. Guess you pay what its worth. :P At the end of the course, one of the staff overheard that the night was our anniversary so he surprised us by drawing up 'Happy Anniversary' on our desserts. Aren't they smart!! Tips were well deserved and worth it. Will surely come back for more! p.s. if you're not fan of walking stairs, there's one unisex bathroom on the same floor. However if you can take a few stairs, you'll be impressed how clean they are although they;re hidden away on the 2nd floor.

T. N.

The waygu steak we had was delicious and cooked to perfection along with the sides and selection of sauces. They also have a wide selection of steaks to suit everyone's budget.

N. E.

Always pleased when I come here, great view of Sydney. This was a special occasion and we were welcomed with a small cake, alot of appreciation for this thought. On wine selection ask for Eddy who recommends the best drop to go with your meal. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable a pleasant to deal with. You can't beat the flat iron steak, it's a must try signature dish.

M. G.

My husband and I had an amazing meal last night at Black Bar & Grill. A truly great experience and the food was definitely at the quality you would expect for the price. The Patagonian toothbrush was incredible! The only issue I had was the continual requests whether we wanted drinks or whether we wanted 'help' with the wine list. I'm not much of a drinker and my husband was okay with a glass of wine. There is no need to ask every 5 minutes, particularly when we indicated we would advise the waiter should we want to order anything more. Apart from that we had a lovely time.

J. D.

My fav here was the desserts and will be going back to try others - cheesecake (deconstructed) and creme brulee for me were insane - such unique and amazing taste and good portion. I love trying out different dessert, these were by far the best and unconventional. We were served by lovely Francesca who gave some amazing recommendations and was so attentive and full of humour. Wagyu ribeye 1kg was generously shared by 4 of us and also tried toothfish which was very nice. I had the london dry mocktale which was beautiful as well. All serving staff were very friendly. Only suggestion is on the bread which compared to somewhere like Hilton Glass a little too simple. Hilton has a good freshly-baked variety with olive oil that you can keep asking for more, would be awesome to see similar here given everything else was quite divine <3

P.

The restaurant is located inside The Star casino property in Pyrmont, Sydney. A sister restaurant is also found in the The Star casino in Brisbane. The selection of steak is excellent, we went for the David Blackmore Wagyu selection together with another Wagyu tasting selection. Altogether 1.6kg worth of meat to be shared with 6 person. We also order some side dishes to accompany the meat. The steak is served with an assortment of 6 different sauces. The meat was fantastic and beautiful cooked, soft and juicy. Most importantly it’s tasted like a top quality piece of beef. The fat within the Wagyu steak is sublime. We were taken care of by PK. He listens well, understood our needs and gave us a memorable night at the restaurant. Fantastic wait staff. I highly recommend the Black Bar and Grill.

X. T. T.

Nice restaurant with a stylish interior and relatively good views. The menu is pretty good with a nice choice of grill items. The steak was cooked well and béarnaise sauce was delicious. On a side note, the bathrooms were lovely.

D. L.

I've dined here on multiple occasions and have walked away each time completely satisfied and happy. The quality of the dishes are amazing and presentation is immaculate. The combination of fresh ingredients and cooking technique results in delicious food that I want to eat every day. Price-wise, it's on the high side but when considering the entire experience, I definitely believe it's worth it. On average, it's costed me roughly $100 per person for a 3 course meal with non-alcoholic drinks. Basically, I love this restaurant and it's on my list of top 10 restaurants I've tried in Sydney.

K. N.

I celebrated a birthday at BLACK. Very impressed with the scallops for the entree and the side dishes of mashed potato and creamy corn. We got the flat iron steak and scotch rump which were both delicious at medium and medium rare respectively.

N. R.

The best signature dining restaurant at The Star! They offer a great $70 3-course lunch meal which is enough to get you full and showcase the brilliant quality of food. Customer service is exceptional and the waiters give just the right amount of attention and engagement. The ambience combines freshness and elegance and the open view of the kitchen gets you excited for what’s to come. The 200g steak melts in your mouth - A must try for steak lovers! The dessert is well presented and tasted amazing. Highly recommended if you are visiting The Star.

C. B.

I'm going to work from best down. Service was exceptional. Atmosphere was exceptional. Food was exceptional Price...better than I thought it would be. We ordered the Spanner Crab. Oysters. Lamb loin. Semolina Gnocchi. Than we ordered the sides of mash, mushroom pie and fattoush. Dessert was the melting chocolate ball. The resturant then brought out a cake because it was my anniversary. Well worth it. Book and go crazy

R. R.

Amazing service, amazing food, beautiful ambience and beautiful view. This is such a classy restaurant serving the most amazing Australia breed wagyu. If you have enough friends with you, make sure to try the 1kg aged wagyu. Melt in your mouth delicious goodness is how I would describe it. The wagyu tasting plate is the same meat albeit not aged, but just as amazing and allows you to savour different cuts of meat. The sides have nothing worth noting, however the free brioche bread was really good.

L. D.

Enjoyed the David Blackmore Wagyu Striploin - cooked perfectly. Friendly service. Oysters were also delightful and really fresh.

I. L.

Relaxed atmosphere, extensive drink list, nice meat from the grill. Attentive service and friendly. Food was very nicely presented, good flavours making use of fresh ingredients. Very enjoyable for either intimate or large group size

D. K.

I was blown away by the selection of wine and drinks. Foodwise we had the suggested meal course and it worked out well for our big group. Strangely they made uneven numbers of food which was difficult to share. I.e. 8 prawns for 6 people? Don't think that was planned. Either way it meant more for me. Service is impeccable. My glass never got empty. Started off a little wry when the receptionist didn't know too well how to use the booking computer to find our booking. People usually come here for a fancy feed before a fancy night out. Expect people to be dressed up and well presented. Everything on the plate was super delicious. The flat iron 9+ was absolutely melt in your mouth good... I've only had better in Japan from my short term memory. Bear in mind that the steaks are usually quite rich and heavy given the marbling content. Choose quantity wisely... Desserts were super fancy and the although the choc ball gets all the accolades, everything is worth trying. Even the cheese plate with a nice wine.

M. T.

Great restaurant in The Star with fantastic views and delicious food. We went prior to a show at The Lyric and they made sure we made were done in time. We had the abalone special and grass fed rib-eye, which were both awesome. They also have an extensive wine list and friendly service.

M.

Girlfriend booked this fabulous restaurant for my birthday. The service was absolutely amazing, they asked for the occasion upon booking to prepare a small happy bday dish, the staff are always aware of our table and constantly offered to service. The cocktails were professionally made. Steaks were juicy but a little hard to chew. Sides were perfect.

J. C.

Like the food and has the best atmosphere and fit out of the restaurants at the star in my view. I am a regular there, steaks, wine and whisky are all good and this time we tried the caviar. Really nice food presentation too and taste.

e.

Great grilled foods, variety of sides and selection of tasty sauces! Recommendation for wagyu flat iron steak, asparagus salad and especially for the starter prawns dish, that one was excellent. Service was a bit slow at times, but the beautiful environment makes up for that.

S. Z.

Great environment for couples and girls night. All waiters are thoughtful and helpful. Tried two recommended cocktails and they are nice. The wool burning steak is amazing. And I love the sides!

R. U.

Exceptional service, good wine selection. The Rib eye meat platter was delicious! It's a great place for sharing platters, especially for beef lovers. Their lemon tart is classic though needs the ice cream to balance the tartness. The chocolate dessert is presented with flair. Food came out very fast. I would highly recommend this restaurant

D. Y.

Experience was impeccable, wine list impressive and the entrees all hit the spot. The steak was okay- not ‘melt in your mouth’ as others have described but decent. We had the ribeye and wagyu tasting.

B. N.

Oh my goodness - finally REDEMPTION from The Star. After being disappointed by Sokyo - BLACK has by far reinstated some faith into me that restaurants at The Star can deliver great food and not just try to rip you off. The croissant bread that comes complimentary got the ball rolling into a great dining experience. Oysters, Scallops and Sashimi were all for entrees - with the sashimi being the let down amongst the trio. Highly recommend the other two though. Finally - what I’ve been waiting for... STEAK. The Angus striploin and wagyu skirt were cooked to med rare... with the WAGYU outclassing all of the other Angus varieties. If you’re on a budget - skip the entrees and just get the WAGYU because it’s enough to satisfy... TRUST ME. Sides were pretty good and complimented the mains well and great portion sizes too.

C. S.

Food, wine and atmosphere was great! I highly recommend booking on a weeknight as it’s not too busy, our food came out pretty quick.

G. B.

I tried all the type of meat ...all taste the same for me, customer service ok. Inquire about your meat before you eat it. Pricy a bit 300$ for 3 small piece of meat.

U. T.

My first time here...From the filtered water to dessert and coffee, everything was superb! Morton Bay bugs are a must and the brioche with butter and salt flakes were oh-my-gosh yummy! The staff were next level and made the experience even better. The lamb and steak were creamy and should be eaten as soon as served. I really enjoyed the fermented chilli sauce (I forgot the name) it was my favorite to eat with both the lamb and steak. Thanks to the friendly staff who were on tonight. Rock on!

W. P.

Took a good friend out tonight for their birthday. Belinda really went out of her way to make it a memorable event. Love your work ;)

M. M.

Prateek and John looking after us very well tonight. The best service that I ever had. Food is amazing. Enjoy my dinner so much. Will come back again.

A. G.

The best steak in Sydney hands down. You must try the wagyu tasting plate. Never have I had a steak that melted in my mouth the way these steaks did. You probably don’t need an enter as this main is filling. Also the soufflé we had for dessert was divine. We will be back. Great food and service. You do need to book in advance.

S. G.

Food was amazing, had to order a second spanner crab! Service was efficient and very friendly. Can’t wait to get back there.

L. K.

Phenomenal experience with an amazing ambiance. Great selection of plates and a burst of flavours with every bite! Staff were amazing, even recommended matching wines and single malts!

H. H.

I got invited for a dinner there. Beautiful ambience and friendly service. The entrees were light and tasty and the steak was really impressive and cooked to perfection. For desserts, the soufflé was just average but you won’t go wrong with the Crème brûlée.

C.

Exquisite entrées, mains and desserts! Lovely atmosphere and classy dining! Had a warm welcome and was served instantly. The chef himself advised us of the mains and presented them with perfection.

P. G.

This contemporary restaurant is broodingly handsome, moodily lit with friendly, efficient & knowledgeable service & beautifully presented & delicious food. The complimentary brioche loaf is delicious, warm & wafting with a rich butteriness when it lands on the table. The dishes are all beautifully plated & modern with great flavours. The steaks had an interesting texture from being sous vide first before finishing on the chargrill, although it does not come with anything at all, just a piece of steak on a plate which looks quite bare. Loved the taste & theatrics of dessert with the hot, rich chocolate ganache being poured at the table. Petit fours are a nice finish to a great evening.

S. K.

Went with my partner for a special occasion. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. Highly recommend the mushroom ragout. Staff even brought out a small cake (free of charge) in celebration of our anniversary. Would definitely come back again.

V. T.

Excellent steaks, scallops to die for, and great sides. The three sides to share is a great way to taste more for less. Service is impeccable. And great view of the pyrmont bay and the city skyline.

N.

Love it love it love it! Service was amazing. Staff was very friendly. Food was incredible. It's our first time and definitely will return! They validate parking for weekdays so it's very convenient to park in Star City parking. The mushroom "side orders" was delicious. The Wagyu yum yum yum

S. C.

We were a party of 8 celebrating Nana's 80th birthday. The waiters were exceptional - kind, knowledgable, and fast! We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and dessert and will definitely be back again. Compliments to Chefs!

M. H.

Favourite restaurant. Food is A++ and the service is amazing. The staff are super friendly even though we regularly visit they treat us as if it's our first time everytime.

S. Y.

One of the best steaks in Sydney. Great food, attentive service and fantastic ambience. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I had the grain fed Wagyu short rib which was delicious, and the ribeye Angus was a much bigger portion. The chocolate ganache is a must have, for the dramatic effect and yummy chocolate. Will definitely be back

E. S.

Great atmosphere, perfect steak, has all the elements you need out of a restaurant, wait staff were accommodating and friendly, service was fantastic. You need to visit this place at least once.

S. R.

Third time I have been here and this restaurant never lets the taste buds down, staff have a high level of service and great attention to detail. Came with a group of 5 and we had entree, main and dessert. Beef carpaccio and king prawns were stand out entrees. Mains were steaks, lamb and seafood which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. And or Ant the sommelier was outstanding he came and gave us loads of tips on ordering and knew exactly when to enter and leave the conversation without us feeling interrupted or with lack of detail. 5 star all the way at the star

A. M.

Good steak options but not as Halal as they used to be. Steak sauces all contain alcohol.

S. T.

If you get a chance to try the cheeseburger at the bar then do it. It was so good. The staff were very accommodating. Edit: it is a bit strange you can't call the restaurant directly but not a big deal.

B. C.

Well prepared steak and delicious sides, however not value for money. Service is underwhelming, especially disappointing given the extraordinary high staff to Patrone ratio

M. C.

Great service and experience. The 3 courses for $80 is value for money and they delivered perfectly on a lil bday cake with a candle for my partner's bday at his fave restaurant.

M. T.

BLACK is probably my #1 for steak ❤️ I’ve always had a great time with fabulous service, delicious cocktail recommendations, and some of the best chips in Sydney. The Wagyu here is incomparable, with the perfect amount of marbling and a surprising smokey edge from their grill. I have a secret soft spot for their bioche too 👌🏻 Recommendations/Prices: Flat Iron 600-day ration fed wagyu MBS 9+, 200g Alexandra, VIC = $86 Chips with Garlic, Parmesan, and Rosemary Salt = $10 Mushroom Ragout with Fine Herbs and Golden Pastry = $10 Cos Lettuce, Avocado, and Mango Salad with Roasted Chilli Dressing = $10 Chocolate Warm Couverture Ganache, Cookie Crumble, Cherries, Coconut Sorbet = $23 Pannacotta with Lemongrass, Ginger Cake, Mango, Finger Lime, Golden Tuille = $20 Specials: 3 sides for $27 Bottomless (2hr) Moët Brüt Imperial Champagne = $65 pp

L.

Sooo good! Highly recommended the flat iron steak. Everything was amazing and service was so good! Will definitely be returning and recommending :)

c. s.

Perfect steak & mash, service was amazing. Highly recommended!

J. L. J.

Best steak EVER! So juicy, like butter it melts in your mouth. Great for special occasions, mood is set perfectly, service is impeccable and the orange wine we purchased was phenomenal.

H. O.

Great ambience, service and the food is excellent. Duck breast and striploin Angus were equally excellent, though duck breast wins it for me. The bar up front is also excellent if you're waiting for a table or if you're just up for a quick drink.

E. C.

Good food at the star for pre theatre menu. Great service and fast. All the non steak options we ordered was yummy.

H.

Food quality was good but the service was quite underwhelming. Waited more than 10 minutes before I could get a waiter to bring me my bill (and I had to walk over to her). They didn’t ask if I parked downstairs so they could validate my ticket. However after checking my bill, I went back and told the bartender that the restaurant forgot to charge us for our drinks. The bartender thanked us and helped to validate our parking.

L.

So excited to try Table for 2 last weekend. Food was delicious although portion sizes small considering it was meant for two people. And just a heads up, if you choose the pick up option, make sure you’ve got everything you ordered. We missed out on a couple of items

E.

Exceptional service and food! A lovely fine dining establishment in The Star. Definitely worth the money, I would recommend the rib eye sharing plate and the cauliflower and fattoush salad as sides. Great service from our waitress (forgot her name- lovely blonde lady with a European accent), she surprised us with a complimentary slice of cake for my husband's birthday!

D. A.

Best steak I’ve ever had, honestly it’s worth every penny. The first time I came was with a friend who recommended one of the more expensive grain fed steaks, but the waitress said the chef was doing the rounds and would be over to talk us through the different cuts and marble scores, he actually recommended the grass fed ribeye. We took him up on the offer and I’m glad we did, it melts in your mouth. The sides are very generous too. I’ve been back several times since, never disappoints

G. M.

A very professional and high dining restaurant the is crisp and fabulously decorated. The staff were kind and succinct. The food and drinks came quite quickly so that was a bonus. The oysters were fresh and delicious and the steak was juicy and cooked to perfection. They also went to the extent to provide a complementary dessert for my friends birthday which made this place more memorable in my mind! Awesome Staff!

C. C.

Yummy waygu steak, I ordered medium rare but ending up the steak came almost well done. The staff was very nice to offer a new one. Angus steaks ain't as nice, the asparagus salad was a bit salty and oily. I did my own plating with sauces that was provided, mustard sauce was great with the steak.

h. a.

I wish I could give this place 100 stars. I hosted my engagement dinner at black bar & grill and dealt with Charlotte the events manager. She was amazing & made sure every single one of my requests was met (within guidelines of covid), & i can not thank her enough for that. We hired the semi private room at black, which was private to our use the entire evening. It’s a really beautiful room that looks onto the harbour with city views. The night went smoothly & the service was impeccable. The assigned waiter to my table was super attentive & for-filled all my requests. He even stayed back to help us pack up everything after. We had external plates, glass wear & cutlery brought in. Every single piece was cleaned & given back to me. This was my second time dinning at black, & again...The Food was AMAZING. There was not one complaint all night. My fiancé and I are so happy with how everything turned out. We both highly recommend black & If you’re thinking about hosting an event, do not hesitate to contact Charlotte.

E. K.

Friendly and attentive service from the waitstaff. Head sommelier (Addy) very knowledgeable and provided detailed advice on wine selection. Mbs 9 wagyu sirloin done medium and the crab entree were delicious. We ordered the beluga caviar but were given the oscietra one by accident. That was the only fault of the evening.

G.

Oh my goodness. I have wanted to try this place forever and it did not disappoint. I came here on a first date with a wonderful man a few days ago and this place did not disappoint. We had champagne, oysters, caviar, the wagyu tasting plate and some salads and my god I couldn’t fault it, we will be returning for sure! I wish I could post videos because sadly I did not get many photos! Amazing, 10/10. It is expensive but oh so worth it!

w. g.

Melt in your mouth steaks and sensational experience. The go to place to impress, wine and dine. Why it isn't hatted is a mystery.

S. P.

Good yummy food. The restaurant atmosphere was good. They were generous with freebie and stuffs. Steak was cooked to perfection. It is a bit pricey and service was a bit slow but will likely come back

O. v. D.

I enjoyed our team's New Year's dinner here. The steaks are very good and they have a large selection. Very friendly and capable staff. Thanks.

T. G.

Unfortunately BLACK was underwhelming from what others had described. The rib eye in my opinion was under-seasoned and lacked the beef flavour that was described, even though we requested medium rare and me adding more salt. Perhaps this restaurant is known for its fatty Wagyu beef rather than leaner breeds of beef. The bernaise was cold and lacked flavour also. The chips were average, expected a better product from a higher end restaurant. Finally, the brioche bread does not complement the meal - a complex flavoured sourdough or similar would've been more appropriate. The service was excellent and the waiter's recommendations of wine pairing were spot on.

S. N. K.

Asparagus was good Prawns were pretty much same as Hurricanes 3 Steaks platter ordered, 1 was great 2 was standard

Very delicious steaks, probably the best I have had and the service was excellent. But very pricey!

A. H.

Their wagyu taste was awesome. This place is perfect for people of four or more. The service worth 5 stars as well.

N. D.

Fine dining on top of the casino. They serve several types of beef steaks. There are other options but the idea is to get a steak and sides. Food is good but not spectacular. There is a small bar to wait for your seat. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The staff is very friendly that's for sure.

L. V.

Delicious food, the complementary bread and butter was good! The over all food was to die for. The environment was good.

R. M.

We went here for dinner before Hamilton the musical. One of the best steaks I’ve had in a while and the service was sensational. Nice atmosphere and views too. I’d go back for sure.

R. C.

Interesting place for excellent steaks and service. The wait staff are efficient and attentive. The sommelier knowledgeable and helpful in selecting wines. The side dishes almost as good as the mains. Not the cheapest place but well worth it if your in that frame of mind.

L. J.

Had dinner for my partners birthday. We were delighted by the menu, it is perfect and offers something for everyone! The service was amazing, our waiter Nicola was very accommodating and the food was delicious! The restaurant organised a beautiful dessert as a surprise for my partners birthday. I’d love to visit again and will definitely recommend to family and friends.

D. D.

The best place for steak and wine in Sydney although it's very expensive. One of the best restroom I had ever experienced in any restaurant.

G. 6.

Great place. Mac&cheese is awesome. Best I've had so far. Beef could have been softer 🤔 especially this is what you specialise in.

S. F.

Friends and I visited the bar area for a quick drink and burger before Hamilton. Everything was stylish with a fantastic view. Staff were very nice and quick. Bit expensive but if you spend over $100 you can be eligible for free parking.

S. L.

Premium steak house experience, staff were professional and attentive. Steak and wine was great

F. F.

Food was sensational but its a very small menu, small servings, and prices are very steep.

M. L.

Great steak and service! Beef tartare was really good as well as the steaks!

H.

Awesome! The best burrata salad I’ve ever tasted. Really , really good. 2 starters and main course to share between two can be enough. Not cheap but you pay what you get.

B. H.

Astonishing scotch fillet steak! Great bar menu! And the staff were eager to ensure our dinner as unequivocally sensational!! 🥩🥃😃 Not to mention, their kind little cake at the end for my birthday, to boot too! 🥳🍰😅

T. L.

Amazing as always. Went there on Sunday with 3 others and everything came out to perfection. Wines were amazing and a special thanks to Addy for selecting a Spanish wine for us to go with out entrees. And thanks to the pastry chefs with the goats curd cheesecake and creme brulee

L. C.

The food is amazing and the staff are excellent it is a little expensive but you get quality over quantity. This is a great place a for a special occasion or just a really nice dinner.

G. v. d. B.

In one word: FANTASTIC! The food, the service, the atmosphere, it was incredible. So very special to us on the last day of our honeymoon, we couldn't have asked for a better night. I can honestly say, I have NEVER had such a delicious dinner! PK offered us wonderful service and was well deserving of his tip. Thank you!

J. S.

Really good night, rib eye 1kg was cooked perfectly and it came with 5 complementary sauces. The creamed corn and mac & cheese sides were also really good. Even gave our friends a celebratory cake for their engagement. Top service by PK 👍

J. N.

Had a great steak night here - peaceful and value for buck. There is a bar inside you can order drinks on the side too! Please remember to get a reservation before coming here.

m.

FOOD: - Simple food done really well. Flavours were not super interesting but loved the quality of the dishes (and freshness of produce) - Highlights: roast duck and spanner crab with pita - Surprising the steak was only ok, fat was not fully rendered but had a nice char. Loved all the sauces accompanying it SERVICE: - 10/10. Prateek was amazing. No further words needed.

A. M.

Will definitely be coming back. I don't think I have ever had more tender and delicious steak in my life - and I've been to the Nusret-El steakhouse (so that's saying something). Would definitely recommend

A. F.

One of the best steaks I have ever eaten, cooked to perfection. As an entree, the beef carpaccio is full of flavour and definitely prepares you for what is to come. In my opinion I couldn’t go past the flat iron wagyu 9+. It comes with an array of sauces which are so good ( particularly the bbq ) but to put sauce on such a beautiful cut of steak is borderline sacrilegious, you will not be disappointed. For dessert you simply cannot go past the creme brûlée, it just personifies decadence so much so you really don’t want it to end. The wine list is super extensive and would easily cater for any enophiles palate. The customer service was superb, Addy and all the staff were delightful and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. If you want to treat yourself to a night out and an awesome steak then you have to try this place.

E. R.

Best steak and tuna sashimi and caviar I have ever had! Could not fault any meal at all. It is truly an eye opening and interesting experience. We went home feeling full and satisfied. :D

G. V.

My wife and I have been there on a Friday night, with our baby as well. Since the moment we walked in, the staff looked after us right away and made us feel super comfortable. The service was consistently amazing throughout the whole dinner. We had oysters, beef carpaccio, couple of steaks from the grill selection accompanied with the sides trio and cheeses selection. Everything was just devine! The sommelier looked after our wines which were sublime, perfectly matched and made our dinner even more memorable, very well done! Guys, seeing is believing!.

K. N.

We loved the steak at Black Bar & Grill. The service was great. The view was perfect too!

A. W.

This place was amazing except for the construction which was pretty loud and annoying whilst having lunch. Went out for lunch today pre Mothers Day celebrations - had the barramundi n chocolate dessert. Very nice. Is very pricey

D. L.

I would like to thanks Lewiston and his team for tonight's amazing experience, my friends loved it. We are regulars and will be back again soon.

K. W.

We had a great experience at Black Bar and Grill. We ordered the Wagyu tasting which was a great way to taste some different and delicious cuts of meat. The service was also excellent. Special shout-out to our waiter Alex who was friendly and knowledgeable and helped to create a lovely memorable night out.

S. R.

We had dinner at Black Bar & Grill last night - celebrating a 20th Birthday. Our waiter, PK was amazing and knowledgeable about the various cuts of steak! Outstanding service and a delicious meal - start-to-finish! We will definitely be back! Thank you PK and Black Bar & Grill!

C. C.

Our server Prateek was so charming, courteous, polite and friendly. He always made sure we were well looked after and gave us really good recommendations. His customer service was so friendly it made the night so much more amazing would definitely come back The food and atmosphere was equally just as good

A. B.

Fantastic food coupled with fantastic service. All the food was very tasty and steaks melted in the mouth - I didn't need a steak knife to cut my steak it was so tender (even the complimentary warm brioche roll to start was a delight). Our waiter Prateek was fantastic, very knowledgeable and polite at the same time. Would recommend!

I. K.

Food was above expectations - quite delicious is what I'm trying to say! This was more of a wine place for me so will go light on the food review. The wine list is amazing, one of the best in Sydney! The Somm knew what he was doing... very knowledgeable with the top level service !

H. S.

Beautiful meal and atmosphere! Our waiter Nicola was friendly and attentive, very good service. We went to celebrate an anniversary and enjoyed the beef carpaccio and kingfish as entrees, the flat iron and barramundi as mains, and the creme brûlée for dessert. I have to admit the barramundi and flat iron (recommended by Nicola) were the best steak and fish I’ve ever eaten at an establishment before. We also got mash as a side and it was superb! Would highly recommend you visit and would 100% visit again.

I. A. r.

It goes without saying that the Black Bar & Grill has one of Sydney's most prized locations. The dining experience is amazing, food is so delicious, you will not be disappointed. Service was highly amiable and attentive. If you are looking for a beautiful dining experience in Sydney "The Black Bar & Grill" is the place to visit.

C. Q.

Nice steak and great selection of side dishes. Dessert is good as well.

K. B.

I organised an intimate dinner to celebrate my sister's birthday on the 27th February at BLACK Bar & Grill. We decided on the $115 per head 3-course option for our guests and booked the private dining room. The service we received was impeccable and by far some of the best service I have received in a long time. I cannot recall the name of our Head Waiter but we received several comments from our guests that he was incredible and I could not agree more. Additionally, the food far surpassed my expectations, it was delicious. Thank you to Martin and the team at BLACK Bar & Grill for a memorable evening. Instagram - @kelxelizabeth

D. A.

Great ambience and the price is quite reasonable for an upscale restaurant. The staff are also very polite and friendly.

N. l.

Amazing birthday dining experience at the black. The team is very attentive and serving us with awesome steak and seafood entree. Will definitely come back very soon!

B. T.

Best steaks I’ve ever tried in Sydney so far! Will be my first preference. Everything was absolutely delicious. Lots of flavour. Orders were also received in a timely manner. Staff are very welcoming. Will be back for sure.

D. M. Y.

Black is one of if not my favourite restaurants. I love it so much that I come here almost every week. My favourites are their scotch fillet, purée, duck, beef jerky and brioche. They have the best food, staff and atmosphere. I come here on at least 3 times every month for dinner, birthdays or other celebrations. Thank you so much to all the staff for making every experience amazing. Also, huge shoutout to the chefs and cooking crew, thanks a lot Danny for all the amazing meals!

h. M.

I've been here a few times and every time I come, the Wagyu steak is a must!

C. Y.

Came here for our anniversary and everything was lovely. The staff were welcoming and attentive, the cocktails (Tokyo2020 and Mango Sgroppino) were delicious. HIGHLY recommend the beef carpaccio entree, and the toothfish main was done to perfection. We also shared a wagyu tasting plate, cooked beautifully but 600g ended up being a little much for the both of us. The complimentary horseradish and mustard steak sauces went perfectly with the wagyu, though! So tasty. Our lovely waiter PK recommended the creme brulee for dessert, and it was amazing - the best creme brulee my husband and I have ever tried. Definitely coming back with the rest of the family to try other dishes (and order the beef carpaccio and creme brulee again!)

T. L.

I came to Black Bar and Grill for my fiancé’s 25th birthday. The food and service was delightful. Our experience was topped by the service of John throughout the entire night, he went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after.

R.

Great service, friendly staff and nice atmosphere, the food here is delicious had many dishes and all were amazing. The star of the night was the creme Brûlée dessert it was so amazingly delicious, when all the ingredients combined it felt like heaven in my mouth . One of the best creme Brûlée I've had.

C. J.

The view, drinks and atmosphere was great. Very disappointed that they specialise in grills and the 2 steaks we ordered were so overcooked and dry we couldn’t eat them. No time for another meal because we were going to a show. The chef didn’t charge us fir the main meals so we left hungry.

C. Y.

Really really immaculate table service, unfortunately we didn't catch our server's name but he was helpful and friendly! We had the scotch fillet special and the scotch Angus, both were amazing!! The mango cocktail was also a highlight 😊

L. M.

Spent my anniversary at BLACK Bar & Grill and it was nothing short of incredible. The impeccable food from Chef Dany, prompt and friendly service (many thanks to Manuel!) within the intimate setting of the restaurant made the celebration a memorable one. Would recommend to everyone!

S. P.

What a great experience. Took my fiance for his 30th Birthday and the food was amazing! Steak was cooked perfectly. When I booked online, I mentioned his birthday - we got a table with a great view & a complimentary Happy Birthday dessert without having to mention it on the night! We'll definitely be back. Thank you! :)

J. N. K.

Service is probably the best in the world. The Wagyu Ribeye was a little under seasoned and slightly dry. But everything else was beyond top notch. I will most definitely dine there again.

I.

amazing food drinks, although service was a little slow. they brought out a beautiful cake for my birthday which was lovely!!

A.

Food and service were great. Very filling and satisfying. The same night we came in, we were told they had pest control during the day, and a roach came out before we ordered. The server quickly attended to it.

E. G.

It was a wonderful experience dining in at BLACK with my girlfriend and the boyz, and this was made even better with their service. The food exceeded our expectations, starting with the entrees; scallops, beef carpaccio, and oysters were a standout. For the mains, the wagyu trio is a must get for meat lovers, with the flat iron cut taking the throne. Finally, it couldn’t have ended better with their desserts - the creme brulee and the goats cheesecake had just hit the spot for us. Michael, our waiter, took great care of us (big thanks to him). He was attentive, professional, friendly, and at times witty which made our dining experience all the more enjoyable.

K. K.

We’ve been coming to BLACK for over a year and it’s consistently great food and service. We love the oysters, steak and lamb plus any of the desserts. Recently Nicola was an excellent server, but it’s always good. 😀 Please put short rib back on the menu.

W. O.

Exceptional service, very high quality food. The dry aged beef really brings out the real flavour, as the beef is cooked to medium rare, great attention to detail. The scallops were done perfect. Very nice atmosphere. A perfect place for a special friend. One little flaw is that the vegetables are little bit oily (we ordered asparagus and cauliflower). We did not order desserts as we are too full.

T. H.

If you're celebrating an event, want something a little fancy and to be served with quality food and service, then this is the place to go! Our mains (skirt and flank) came with complimentary sauces and the two sides and dessert we chose were plentiful. We were lucky to have Prateek serving us for a birthday dinner. He made us feel valued because he spoke to us in a warm manner and was polite throughout the whole night. We were even surprised with a slice of cake with the words 'happy birthday' scribed on the plate. Just ask for this when making your booking over the phone or online in the notes section. It's also very appreciated that Prateek assured us that providing a tip was not necessary before walking away when he gave us the eftpos machine. We've had many negative experiences of waiters lingering over us at other restaurants making tips feel more of an obligation than gratuity. Thanks for making our night a memorable one Prateek! We hope the BLACK Bar & Grill are aware of all that you do for them!

D. L.

Absolutely delicious steaks and bread. Worth it for a treat or special occasion. The only let down is the service- our waiter was rude and commented on our dining etiquette. He was a total joke and doesn’t deserve a job at this fine establishment. Have been there at least 4 times and will return for the food alone. July 2020: Visited Black again and received great customer service. The 1kg sirloin steak was melt-in-your-mouth! The wine selection was compatible and lovely. The only downside was that we were asked to leave our table just after 90 mins - we didn't even order dessert. Apparently there was an event in the whole restaurant. We were not told this before the booking (not in the email or texts) and not told when we arrived. Really disappointed that this happened. A sour taste in our mouths. You don't want our business for dessert, that is your problem, but don't treat your loyal customers like that!

J. N.

The service is so attentive and pleasant. The waitress was funny and gave us wine recommendations despite us not knowing a single thing about wine. The food was scrumptious with special mention of the steaks they had on hand. We tried the meat platter which sampled the skirt, flank and rump. The lighting and mood of the restaurant was modern and chic yet inviting and comfortable. Would definitely come back again.

M. L.

Very, very good. Pre dinner menu, everything was cooked beautifully and timed well so we weren't rushed. One of our party is a coeliac, and she was even provided with her own gluten free bread - it was actually better than the brioche, which was probably the only thing I didn't love. It's not cheap, but for the quality I actually think it's reasonable and would recommend this highly. In fact, we are already planning our second visit to try the champagne lunch on Sunday!

G.

Black was a lovely romantic night for and the restaurant did not disappoint from the staff to the food. We had a lovely table overlooking the water. the setting is wonderful, the staff very professional, polite and attentive without being over bearing. The only thing I would say is that I believe the food and the wines ARE overpriced. But overall a very good and well run restaurant.

R. S.

Mouthwatering steak..had the Scotch, was excellent. Definitely get the macaroni as side. My friends had the gilet and the rib-eye and all were excellent. Top service, too!

S.

5* food and service. Second time back to Black Bar and Grill and it never disappoints. The waiter was kind enough to send my bottle of wine back to my room that I couldn't finish. Can't wait to go back again

C. K.

What a fabulous restaurant. Food was delicious - wonderful entrees and the steaks were “melt in your mouth”. Service was first rate. Very attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend Black. One of my new favourites

G. H.

Restaurant was really cold which made it hard to enjoy the experience the entree was delicious but my main the Barramundi was over cooked and went cold quickly, service was slow but staff were friendly. My husband said I guess they were working on the 1 drink an hour rule? As we were there almost 3 hours and only got 2 drinks . Prefer Flying Fish

V. T.

went for dinner with a few mates and everyone was extremely happy with the experience. probably the best steak i’ve had in my life and the service was exceptional as well. we were served by prateek and his service was top notch.

S. A.

Prateek was an excellent and knowledgeable waiter who took excellent care of us. It was my partners birthday and they went out of their way to organise a cake for him which was lovely. The food was amazing and I chose here as I have had a lot of recommendations to the venue.

G. S.

Best carpaccio I ever had! Amazing wine selection & great service. Ivi and a lovely waiter looked after us very well. Definitely a place to come back!

E. T.

Dined here to celebrate a birthday. Ordered the 400g Ribeye, excellently cooked med rare with a nice variety of different sauces to go with. Our waitress Elisa was very friendly and attentive and gave good recommendations for our sides. We kept ordering the complimentary bread as it was so good!

S. H. &. b.

one of the best steak ever had , wonderful view .

C. A.

We had an amazing dinner, the Wagyu tasting was delicious and we paired our meal with a lovely Malbec suggested by the Sommelier. Our waiter PK was excellent and we enjoyed our time at the restaurant. Will be back soon!

M. H.

Impeccable food, thanks Alex great service.

S. M.

Really nice ambiance, service, and quality. Sides were delicious as well as the steak. However it was med or even med-well when I asked for med-rare. Seems like something they should have dialed in for a place like this. For what it's worth, I mentioned it and the waiter didn't hesitate to remake it - I just didn't want a whole other steak.

J. A.

Okay. Just usual steaks for this price. Not any special.

F. W.

Amazing restaurant, one of the best steaks i have ever had the pleasure of eating. Our waiter, Prateek, was outstanding with his knowledge of the menu and the amazing level of customer service he delivered to us on the evening, will definitely be returning!!

l.

Great friendly service and fantastic cocktails. Amazing selection of wine and loved the wine cellar

S. T.

Went for date night with the hubby, service was fantastic upon entry to the bill service. Prateek was our server and was charming, well spoken and just lovely. All his suggestions were great, food was amazing. Great night, great ambience and will be back again.

D. S.

Excellent steak. We had the wagyu tomahawk and it was cooked perfectly. Prateek, our waiter for the night took care of us very well - our drinks were never empty =)

K. E.

Amazing steaks! Our waiter Pratesh was super friendly and accommodating. He checked in on us at the right times and the food was delicous. We'll be back for sure

D. R.

Updated (April 2019) My previous review was fairly critical about the quality of the steaks and after several months we decided to return here and give them another shot - best decision ever. The steaks were incredible! Old Review (Nov 2018): This place looks spectacular and the wine list is truly something to get lost in but the steaks are where you expect this place to shine and sadly it doesn't. The rest of the food is very good but the meat quality isn't at the level you expect for $67, or even $25. This could be a standout steakhouse in Sydney but they are holding themselves back.

R. Z.

We had PK as our waiter he was great so helpful and advised us on everything that was available. Food was great and the cream brûlée was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much guys for a great night

E. M.

The moment we were seated, we were greeted by the beautiful Francesca who gave honest feedback about items on the menu. She was so friendly and warm and the great food was a bonus. Definitely going to be a regular place to dine.

A. T.

Atmosphere: 5/5 , very nice and romantic and has a great view Food: 4/5 i have had the steaks here before and they were very good. Last night we got the lobster tail and king prawns which were delicious and very flavour rich. My only complaint was the portion size of the lobster tail for $50 was extremely small, there were literally 3 bite size pieces. We had also ordered the gnocchi , which due to allergies had to have so modifications. Even tho it had to be modified, it was still disgusting. It was too soft and mushy and no flavour and bland....had to send it back! The other complaint i have is that the portion sizes seem to be getting smaller and smaller with time..at $50 per plate average, you expect more than just good flavour..you expect a decent portion Service: 3/5 there were many people that attended and served the table, unfortunately trying to get your waiter's attention was a whole new effort....it took 20 minutes after our food had came out to finally tell the waiter about the gnocchi..and it took 35 minutes to get our bill and another 15 min to pay...even the couple sitting at the table next to us were frustrated for the exact same reason. We had also booked our table 1 week in advance and expected a window seat but they sat us elsewhere. Value for money: 1 stars They are extremely overpriced and the portion sizes are ridiculously small. you will easily spend $70-90 per person for food and will leave hungry. The food is good for the most part tho.

A.

I’m not a big steak eater at all, but i was really impressed with Black. I had the eye fillet which was cooked perfectly.. very tender and flavourful. I really enjoyed the selection of sauces they provided too. My partner had lamb which was delicious, but we weren’t too fond of the extras on the plate. We also ordered the mac and cheese, mushroom ragu, and mashpotato sides which complimented our mains well. We hope to be back soon!

D. F.

Mixed feelings. The Food was good, price is on the higher side though not a huge factor. The waitress we had wasnt a good fit for us i guess, she didnt make us feel welcome when serving unfortunately and there were communication issues. Putting that aside on entry the ambiance was great with mood lighting, the bar has a good selection of drinks while waiting to be shown to your table. Lots of patrons looked to be having a great time. We were also given complementary bottle of champanye after spending over $450. Great for groups of 6 or more. We enjoyed ourselves overall. The wagyu steaks are the highlight.

W. D.

Steak was cooked to perfection! Beautiful sides and service was excellent. We went as a large group so had a set menu. They were also able to cater and change the entree for me because i was pregnant which was amazing as I had not advised them prior upon booking.

L. S.

Was let down by their service couple years ago but have been back and I have to admit they have the best stake in Sydney. Leaving my review from 3 years ago as per below: This is the lowest score I haven given to an outlet, mainly because the service at Black is shocking, the first time we went, it was the worst service I have ever had in my life, I don't know why we went back, but we did, it wasn't as bad as the first time but still nothing close to what you would expect from a restaurant as what it claims to be fine dinning. Some at the table ordered the $49 Friday Lunch on both occasion, however the quality and quantity of food turned out to be so different? Frist time was way to much food and second time barely enough..... Food quality deserve 4 stars, but the service put bitter in our mouths on both occasions. I would be back if the service is improved.

E. S.

Service was great - attentive staff that answered a couple of questions we had. The flat iron steak was amazing! Tender and good amount of fat. Cooked well. Went off a recommendation from the waitress. Also highly recommend the chocolate dessert and the creme brulee dessert. The chocolate dessert alone was an experience, rich yet well balanced with the banana and peanut mousse. Got a great table as per my request. Would go back!

M. L.

We came here with high expectations but were let down by the service and the quality of the steak. Cooking steaks should be their bread and butter so to send one out that was clearly over cooked was pretty bad! I sent my striploin back (at $69 you want it to be cooked to perfection), I ended up with a medium as opposed to medium rare! This obviously interrupted the dinner as I was sat there whilst my mates had their food - they have us a couple of extra sides but no other gesture of goodwill which was rather disappointing. I wouldn't recommend going to Black - there are far too many better steak houses in Sydney at fairer prices!

R.

Having been to a few good steakhouses in Sydney, what sets Black Bar & Grill apart is the service! Attentive and accommodating waitstaff, who didn't bat an eyelash when we turned up 30 minutes earlier than our booking, showed us to our table straightaway, and even offered to help take off my coat when I sat down. When my partner and I were commenting on how smooth the butter was that came with the complimentary bread, we think a waiter overheard us talking and he brought us another slice of the butter, just because we liked it! It's just those little things they did that made their service stand out. The food came out very fast too. Even thought the food itself didn't stand out as much as other places we have been to, the service itself was impeccable. We will be back!

R. W.

Always love eating here. Currently $65pp for unlimited french champagne on top of weekend lunch. Starters and desserts are tasty as. Usually works out to be $200pp for 3 courses. Quite a friendly atmosphere - relaxed but can be as high end as your group needs.

L. T.

Had a Beautiful dinner celebrating my birthday. Had the most excellent service by Prateek, he had excellent service skills and manners which made my night so much better. The food was amazing and high quality. Highly recommend Black Bar & Grill. And highly recommend Prateek for high customer service.

J. W.

A posh and fancy place thats pricey for all meals, but they are very tasty, and cooked to your liking. We dined here with friends for the evening for a good feed, something special whilst in Sydney. The staff at the beginning were attentive and helpful with the menu and drinks, however, as the night went on and the place started to fill up, the service lacked and the speed of the drinks coming out to the table was POOR. It took about 20minutes to get drinks sent to the table, with us having to ask again where they were. During the entire evening we were only able to have two drinks each because the service was slow and lacking throughout. The water wasn't filled up on the table, we had to ask again for this to be done. The food however was good, tasty, and on point. Steak is the way to go here, plenty of options, although pricey, but still tasty and if you're a meat lover, you can't go wrong. Overall its a nice place for a good feed. Service is lacking so don't count on getting drinks served too quickly, but the food is a winner! Not sure i would return, unless they can pick-up the speed of service moving forward.

A. E.

Update I have increased to 4 stars because have been back again and had the t bone and it's good. The venue was quiet nice beautiful view out to the city and the waiter was well trained . But I thought the food was pretty average when ordering was even told by the waiter that steaks are small so ordered one steak and one chicken tried thechicken it was just bland boneless chicken that didn't end up eating and the sides were just as average they look like they've been prepared a day or two before and the chips were like you got from Red Rooster on a bad night just thought when you're paying 50 bucks or $55 a main that you could have done better

k. m.

We had the fig salad for entree which was particularly good. The Wagyu tasting was pleasant although the highlight was the crème brulee. I would recommend asking to be served by Alex; not only did he have a comprehensive knowledge of the menu but he was extremely personable.

A. H.

Beautiful food and presentation. Lovely staff especially the beautiful Hungarian Islander gentleman! Amazing personality that shone through. Thanks for an incredible meal and for making my birthday so special. ❤️

V. F.

We had dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The food was amazing and complimented by the attentive service from the wait staff. Especial thank you to Prateek for making the night extra special.

T. L.

The service here is impeccable. The server was engaging and he knew his stuff. One of my colleagues had lunch at the place and she had a gluten and shellfish allergy. The server who attended to us that evening had also helped her during lunch and he totally remembered her requirements and didn't even asked her to repeat it. He gave me a recommendation of toothfish and I tried it it is one of the most delicious fish I've ever had.

J. G.

Amazing service thanks to our server Prateek! Fanatic food and all round great experience! Definitely our favourite restaurant! You get what you pay for

B. R.

Amazing, amazing food - rib eye to share was incredible and the mushroom side and steak sashimi starter all highlights. Chocolate fondant dessert a little disappointing as was the service which, while very good, was a bit slow at times as the restaurant was very busy. Not all of our dishes came out at the same time and we had to request a missing piece from our main course. Not a lot wrong but when you are paying a premium service should be a little sharper.

K. M.

I have been to Black on a number of occasions and I admire the excellent service and the food is fantastic. The fillet steak is absolutely perfected. They always make an effort if you mention a special occasion upon bookings, very thoughtful!

R. H.

Staff were very lovely and friendly. Food was delicious and the presentation was very inviting, we absolutely loved everything. As soon as the staff knew it was our anniversary, they served us a happy anniversary cake on a plate. Overall , we highly recommend this place and will definitely go back there again 👍👍👍👍

C. C.

The experience at Black Bar & Grill was indescribable. Prateek was our waitor for the night who provide exceptional service. He was so knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Would definitely dine here again.

L. R.

I don't think I have ever tried a nicer, juicier steak in my life. Came here for my 50th anniversary dinner and had an absolute pleasure. A little pricy but definitely worth those special occasions.

A. R.

Dined here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, such a memorable experience, amazing food and exceptional service! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Really great food and great service. We ordered the maremma duck which was so delicious - we definitely recommend this if you're dining in a group, as it serves ~3 people. The most tender duck that I have ever had in my life. It was a very generous serving for the price - you get a whole duck and two sides. We also ordered two steaks - one grass fed Angus and one grain fed Angus. They were delicious, tender and perfectly cooked, as usual. But we felt the duck was the stand out dish of the night! The desserts are always a must order - they're delicious, well presented and the chocolate dessert usually has an element of theatricality! Always have a good time dining at BLACK and we will definitely be back!

Grass-fed scotch fillet was tender and flavorful, but quite thin. My scotch should have had more warmth and juices in the center (asked for med-rare but got closer to rare). Rib-eye on the bone was juicier and better. I would go for one of the thicker cuts next time (like ribeye), as scotch is really thin. The plate should be warmed before serving. Oyster entree was fresh and the dressing --balsamic-- was beautiful. Highly recommend the oysters! The salad was extremely fresh and crunchy, really nice! Service was attentive, happy that they had plenty of staff on a busy night. Nice atmosphere and modern decor, you can also see the kitchen from your table--very nice touch. The wood-spit-smoked duck (or was it chicken?) looked delicious!, but we didn't order it. They have an extremely! extensive alcohol selection and a sommelier. I have also been to the bar, nice place to hang out, friendly barman and very wide selection. Every aspect of the restaurant was tremendous --ironically it was the steak which wasn't as good as the other aspects.

Exceptional food & service. We have been coming here for nearly 10 years and the quality just keeps getting better & better !!!! Tonight we had Ivi as our waitress and she's was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend this place !

J. D.

Lovely restaurant. Nice view over darling harbour Barangaroo. The food fabulous. We had the set lunch menu $60. It was delicious the steak melted in your mouth. Cocktails delightful. The staff were friendly and attentive and didn’t mind us talking into the late afternoon.

We went to the Star on Saturday, passed by Black with my husband. We didn’t have a booking and the place was pretty busy so the host offered us to seat at the bar for dinner. We got served by Dimitri, who recommended us some cocktails and bar food. The west side cocktail was my favorite. He was very attentive the whole evening. the service was perfect! Thank you for a great time. We’ll definitely go back.

This place seems highly reliant on its location and tourists and people that pretend they have money. If you're looking to show off or have a fancy night out and be merely satisfied with your meal, this is the place for you. The food is ok. Not great not amazing just ok. It definitely does not meet expectations for the money they are charging. Places like this will always be kept open due to there ability to keep attracting tourism. However tourist trap restaurants in this city for some reason feel like they can charge a fortune and produce standard food. This is a bit of a long winded review, but it consistently frustrates me going to places such as this and receiving food that leaves me and my family still hungry after a meal. To those who enjoy showing off... this is the place for you!

R. R.

The steak was melt in your mouth, yum! The side dishes were great, especially the mushrooms! The service was fantastic! My partner smashed and spilt red wine on the table, they were quick at cleaning up with no fuss, one waiter even came with soda water to clean a bit of red wine that I wore on my top! Thank you for a great food and service experience!

S. G.

Had a wonderful dinner for five and was served by Prateek - he was fantastic! Food was delicious, fresh and absolutely worth it!!! Thank you Prateek for your on point service. Can’t wait to come back

D. T.

Very friendly staff and excellent food. Ordered their kingfish and Wagyu tasting accompanied by a nicely matched Shiraz from their long list of wine selection.

D. F.

Put delicious food in my mouth. Creme Broulee *clap clap clap* creme Broulee *clap clap clap* Most likely the best cooked steak in Australia...

M.

Four stars since the risotto was too salty to my liking, however, everything else was great. 4 stars for the restaurant, 5 for our waiter Chris. Chris was polite and helpful to fix an issue with a dish.

M. N.

Elegant venue with good service, great if in the mood for quality meat and not on a tight budget. Started off with the delicate kingfish ceviche we then ordered a grass fed angus ribeye, a scotch and sides of potato mash, fries and mushroom and herbs pie. The steaks were cooked to perfection and had enough fat which gave the meat a rich flavour. The sides were also of a high standard, the potato mash was buttery and tasty, the fries fluffy and crispy.

S. C.

Awsome.... Food was great... Drinks were amazing.... Loved the expresso Martini..

A. C.

Great atmosphere and aspect looking out toward Pyrmont, with good spacing between tables. We had 4 in our party with each of us needing to check in using the QR code. Food? Excellent!

D. O.

We just went for drinks and it's easy to tell that this is for diners. Friendly bar crew although bar was empty. It is clearly a place for dining.

M. S.

If you like your meats, then this is a very good place that does all the right things. We had a couple of vegetarians as part of our group who then struggled to pick something suitable, but I guess that's too be expected from a place that is known for its steaks and seafood! Only reason why I'm giving this 4 and not 5 stars is because it's steep to the point of unreasonable.

E. D.

Everything was perfect! My husband and I went to Black for our Anniversary dinner and when we booked online they asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. When we arrived the host congratulated us and then multiple waiters congratulated us and the chef decorated my dessert plate. It was really lovely and that attention to detail was obvious throughout the night. The service was fantastic and the food was a highlight of course. We both decided on steaks which were cooked to perfection and then for sides we got the brocollini, chips and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was the highlight side dish. Overall a great experience especially for a special occasion.

y. M.

Had an amazing night with a very delicious meal. Lamb, glacier 51 tooth fish and sides were divine. Ivi served us and she was exceptional and so was the sommelier Ady

B. L.

Food was exceptional, staff were attentive but not in your face. An exceptional Somelier who selected great wine suiting the food and our tastes. Wonderful ambience. A great food experience if that is what you enjoy, I would recommend it.

J. S.

Throught my experience it was fantastic. Food was amazing, quality of the meat was fantastic. The desert was fantastic aswell. Staff was also fantastic, special mention Prateek, my experience couldn’t be better. Recommend this place

C. S.

Best steaks in Sydney and the service is always 1st class.

S. t. H.

Food was on the better side of ok. Presentation was really nice but some of the flavours weren't quite as engaging as I might've liked, especially the mash which wasn't really seasoned and could've done with more garlic. Wagu steak was also a little hit and miss, my skirt steak was overshadowed somewhat by my wife's flank. Where mine was a little dry hers was moist and flavoursome. The service was impeccable, they were attentive and friendly without being invasive and we left feeling like we'd had a really enjoyable dining experience. We would go again.

D. P.

An excellent dining experience. The view over the wharfs is pleasent (despite the poor weather on the day). The service was friendly and warm and the staff were always attentive. The food was wonderfully prepared with fresh, high quality ingredients and was delicious. All in all a very good meal in lovely surroundings.

r. b.

One of the best eating experiences we have had for at least 10 years, if you want a perfectly cooked steak, I recommend BLACK 😋😋😋

M. K.

One of the best steak restaurants in Sydney. Not to mention there seafood , desert and wine list as well. We've been there few times before and they never disappointed us. Last night my girlfriend steak was liitle well done, waiter noticed this and notify the manager. He came over apologised and cooked her a new one. What a great service and management. If only other fine restaurants had this kind of service . Thank you for a wonderful evening .

B. S.

Food and drinks were amazing... Staff are very professional and friendly.. All allergens were catered for with knowledge.. Great atmosphere.. Thankyou to our waitor Prateek, for making my partners Birthday a memorable night. We will back...

P. K.

Extremely wonderful experience. The staff were very attentive, friendly and welcoming and the meals were superb. The complimentary cake slice for son's birthday was a very pleasant unexpected surprise as was the lighted candle and decorated plate. Loved the open kitchen. Thank you to everyone for a very memorable evening.

D. S.

Food was amazing and came out in a timely fashion. Great customer service from our waiter Chris who was knowledgeable and knew when to check in on our table. Overall great experience!

S. C.

We had a pre-show dinner. Exactly what we needed, prompt service, two courses. I had the lobster tail salad and a scotch fillet cooked perfectly medium rare. The sides were great, however the cauliflower was a standout dish, tasted amazing!

A. K.

New years eve set menu presented 5 amazing courses. Each dish was first class and worthy of a place on the menu of top restaurants. The wait staff and service was professional and welcoming. Amazing dining experience and highly recommended.

M. L.

Well... service are a bit sub par. I made an online reservation and I provided my contact info. Since I am a tourist, i am a bit lost in my transit and was late for about 45min. I was literally blamed by their staff and warned me "Next time you need to call us if you are late" in a rather rude manner. I know... I am sorry..... but please don't tell at me, I am just a tourist loosing my way.... Other than that the food are excellent full blood waygu is better than their Angus (both r nice). On the other hand the tartar is just so-so. But I please don't grill your customer if they r late. I know it's a bar and grill but please focus on the steak, not your customers.

L. S.

The staff, the food, the atmosphere - everything was amazing about this place!

O. E.

Great restaurant. Highly recommended.

L. C.

Highly recommend the Sunday Champagne lunch, 3 courses plus free flowing Mumm Brut. The food was amazing, the chocolate ball dessert was a standout and never once did we have to ask for a top up of Champagne. Quality champagne and quality food. The service was excellent. It would be hard to be disappointed here. We had a table of 6 and everybody loved it. Nice views of Pyrmont Bay and the city skyline. We used an Entertainment book voucher as well and saved $100.

D. D.

I rolled in last night with my parents who were visiting from out of town for my 30th birthday. Our waiter Chloe was spectacular for the entire evening. Attentive and deeply knowledgeable about the menu. She effortlessly catered to my mother's dietary needs and was nothing but a joy to engage with for the evening. The wine was spectacular and the food was flawless. Mad props to the steak tartare and the bearnaise sauce. The icing on the cake (pun fully intended) was the surprise dessert and candle they brought out for me at the end. 100% would come back again. Give Chloe a raise.

B. S.

A very nice place, famous for having their stakes smoked first before grilling. Quite romantic atmosphere but also good for groups. Great service, the waiter knew everything on the menu. They have a very nice surf and turs with balmain bug, rump cap was nice and tender, spanner crab entree with finger limes and mini pitas, marron with cuttlefish risotto. The only thing they can improve is mushroom sauce as it was too runny but that's just detail.

A. S.

Omg, everytime I come here the service and steak is unbelievable. I highly recommend the 200g fillet with mushroom sauce. However last time they didn't offer my table any complimentary bread, its always delicious and I'm really sad that we missed out.

A. G.

I really enjoy going to this place for a good quality steak. It is a bit pricey, but well worth the money spent. With a great view of Pyrmont, it's the perfect place for romantic dinner, or a small group of friends. Service is very good and the selection of wines is quite decent. It is sometimes hard to get a reservation on Friday's and Saturday's, but if you plan ahead, it isn't that difficult.

L. K.

Got the 1kg ribeye Wagyu to share, with mushroom sauce (delicious), and a few of the sides, and the spanner crab risotto (also delicious). From the sides, the fattoush was not good.

A. G.

The waiter Prateek was amazing! Such great and friendly service, best experience at black so far because of his promptness. Thank you 🙏

K.

The food was fresh. At the beginning they make u feel welcoming, but at the end they rush u to finish as other customers are waiting, which is not nice. In general the place is ok

V. X.

Really enjoyed my experience here! Loved their brioche that you get at the beginning of the meal and their steaks are superb! A few of my steak loving friends have thanked me profusely for introducing them to Black :) Read more on my food blog - When the world stops spinning

D. H.

Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. My partner and I want to give a big credit to Prateek for his great hospitality skills. Prateek was kinda, humble and respectful guy. We love you Prateek, see you next time brother.

T. H.

Beautifully presented restaurant with high ceilings and great view on one side. The food was a bit of hit and miss. Spanner crab salad was excellent, oysters were fresh, and also their hapuka dish was definitely something special. However the grilled steak dish was uninspiringly plain, sauce was nothing special, and wasn't even cooked to my request. I wanted medium rare, and got pretty well done steak. We found the service pleasant and caring.

A. B.

The food was exceptional, if I could have I would have licked the plate clean! The service was wonderful and to cap it all off, Hubby and I were surprised with a complimentary cake to mark off our very special date night. We will definitely be visiting again!

M. D. M.

stunning design and atmosphere, beautiful views, great service with knowledge and amazing food. worth the price i enjoyed every minute there. highly recommend.

W. K.

Superb food and drinks menu, offers plenty of options even if you are not a steak person. Was lucky enough to try Black during crayfish month, and impressed at how good their seafood dishes were. Other pleasant surprises were their delicious cocktails, and their fine dining take on mac and cheese.

T. H.

Great food. Good view. Good service. The only thing I can fault is when we just sat down one of the wait staff immediately pushed if we wanted nibblies which I just assumed was complimentary but turned out wasn't. Just wished it had been a bit clearer probably my fault for not asking. When she did ask me if we wanted olives or jerky. I answered 'I dont know' which she replied "I'll just bring out both" so again it fed to my assumption it was complimentary.

B. I.

My experience was perfect primarily due to jhonnos service, he was exceptional at his job and is always putting the customer first. Always look forward to eating there knowing he will look after me knowing I will be leaving with a great service

M.

Advice if you're after some nice meat, get the Flat Iron steak, its a bit pricey but worth it. I also had the grain fed scotch.... I won't get that again, the sides are awesome value, $30 for 3, recommend the brocollini and mac and cheese!

E. T.

Food was decent. Service was top notch service. Was served by Sophie. She was attentive . I had bad experience with other waitress else where but she proved me wrong.

N. E.

If you can wait an hour to get a wagyu steak! Go for it.

G. B.

Great views, good food and decent service.

R. H.

Friendly service and nice decor. Chips and Mac n cheese nice. Steak was just OK for the price ,was expecting a lot more! Sorry to say I wouldn't go back .

S. G.

What an experience! The service is impeccable and if you have the opportunity to try the tasting steak platter, please do it. Will visit again.

F. W.

The price for the steak is not worth it. Noting but dry and more importantly no sauce or puree.

M. _.

Fantastic culinary experience & warm welcome from Chef Maxime ! The food quality and service is impeccable! Wonderful dishes with outstanding hospitality from Chef Maxime. We loved the personal french touch, beautiful wharf view and warm welcome. Great place for a family lunch and dinner. Thank you again Chef Maxime and his team.

J. N.

I had the quail meal. Usually i dont like bird but the quail was superbly delicious. We had bottles of wine, tasted so beautifully with the food. Everyone had a meal of steak,fish or chicken. I wanted to try something new and it was quite surprising. Soo goo try something new

P. R.

Son's 18th birthday dinner a little disappointing! We booked our dinner at Black well in advance as we took our eldest son here for his 18th and we couldn't fault it! This time around whilst the food was of excellent quality it was the service that really let our night down. Granted it was Friday night but still they either didn't have enough staff on or they were just slow. We waited a loooong time to get our first drinks they arrived half way through our shared entree plate then our next order didn't come at all even though we were charged for it...not good! Main course was fab mouth watering steak we did wait awhile for it too and as I confirmed when we arrived a little birthday plate was coming for our son with a complementary slice of cake we had to ask for that which was embarrassing and didn't end up being a surprise for our son. Overall we left think yes the food was great but the service is the thing that stays with you and it was below par

J. A.

Slightly Over-priced steakhouse that offers the same fare as any other steak joint in town. Ambience is slightly nicer but I don't think that should cost extra. At least parking is easy given its at the casino

S. L.

Nice atmosphere and view. Steaks were good but for the price it didn't really wow me, I was expecting more. The dessert was the highlight of the meal.

K. W.

Lovely dining experience at Black - the steak is excellent and perfectly cooked. I went with my two year old daughter and the waiter asked if we wanted anything. He then returned with some paper and crayons that he had bought from the shop around the corner to entertain her. What great service.

S. C. W.

I loved the food. The bone marrow sauce for the meat steak is delicious. I love the bread they serve with the black salt, best bread i have ever had!. Very good managers, who are not irrate, and very professional. Very excellent kitchen staff, as the kitchen is open for viewing. THis is 10 star food, best restaurant that i have been to.

O. T.

Fantastic fine dining with awesome city skyline views. I frequently dine at Black by Ezard and have tried a wide selection of dishes. The ambiance and service are excellent. They're stakes are particularly good. Menu offers some unusual dishes with amasing flavours. This is a pricey joint though. Expect to be paying around the $350 - $400 for 2 assuming entrees, mains, desert and a glass of wine. The mains are generously sized however the entrees are tiny so suggest a couple side dishes.

S.

Great service, expensive dinner but well worth it. Took my partner here for her birthday very romantic and high class experience.

R. k.

Had wonderful experience last night. Apart from exceptional food and lovely ambience, I was more impressed by the service. We were attended by Archana and she was best at it. Would love to give her 5 stars as well.

J. S.

Alessandro was a fantastic waiter and made our anniversary dinner extra special! Fantastic food as always, especially the Creme Brûlée

A. G.

Nice food, expensive though... think "quality not quantity"! Certainly, "bar and grill" doesn't tell the whole story..views are fantastic and service is top notch and very fast and personalised. Dinner and drinks for four was just over five hundred bucks! "High end casual" dining!

J. N.

I was recommended the "flat iron steak" priced at $86 for 200g. It was disappointing especially at that price. My steak was tough and lacked seasoning. The brocolloni were served cold. The carrots were the saving grace.

A. W.

Great place for a fine dine to celebrate a special occasion with great atmosphere and views. Food was good and presentation too. Theres a slight room for improvement in service levels. But on the whole if you have a thing for fine dine in and you love quality food that tastes really great this is the place to be.

X. G.

Black has amazing steaks and sides and top end service. The oysters were amazing and the chocolate dessert is the best option. However, you are paying for what you get! Average mains are about $70 sides $10 and dessert $20. If money isn't a problem Black is a great option.

C. H.

Oh we just love this restaurant & we will be going back very soon. We requested a particular window table which was not in the service area on the night however the Staff arranged via the Manager to open the table for service which we were delighted about. The food was amazing & the table service was superb.

T. L.

Best steaks in town. Customer service is impeccable, staff are always on the look out to provide service. Rib eye was delicious but definitely need to share with a Plus One.

G. C.

Really good high end restaurant at Star City. We had a group in the private dining room and the staff were excellent and the food very good. It was a great place to have a meal before a show at the Lyric Theatre.

T. Y.

Nice looking restaurant and good atmosphere. The service was great and very professional. I was slightly let down by the lamb rack which was dry. Great for a business lunch or special occasion!

F. Z.

My experience at black bar has been taken to the next level due to Johnno’s impeccable service and bar tending skills, he has ensured every visit has been welcoming and takes care of us every time, definitely one of the main reasons I visit black bar every week.

J. F.

On Saturday we had a wedding reception for 24 guests. Our friends and relatives loved the food and the room. Danny the chief chef is some kind of genius and the service we got was supreme. Try the onyx room for any occasion.

J. A.

Starters and steak are very nice. The dessert was amazing also. And the drinks are awesome. Highly recommend

S. T.

I've been to Black about 4-5 time now. And each time the food and service never disappoints. Warm, intimate setting. Great table service. Staffs are professional an friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant. Very worth every penny. ❤️❤️

V. D.

Great ambiance, tasty food and equally good service. Had prawns for entree, the wagyu trio for mains along with 3 sides. Eggplant side is highly recommended. Ask for a table with a view.

A. C.

Very nice restaurant! Food was delicious. Our waiter Nicola provided excellent services. Bravo!

m. a.

The steaks were unreal. Would highly recommend. However the entrees and side weren't great. The passionfruit creme brulee was out of this world! Overall good steak and dessert

E. G.

We only went to the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail before heading to Sokyo but were so impressed with the staff and incredible drinks! Marco was so lovely - very helpful and made the experience really wonderful. We were so impressed with the service we have decided to change our dinner reservations next week and dine at Black instead. Thanks for a great evening!! The cocktails were to die for!!

M. S.

Highly recommended. The steak was perfection and the scallops sashimi was beautiful - fresh and beautifully seasoned. The service and recommendations were excellent and overall ambience was good too. A little pricey but worth it.

Black Bar and grill, formally Black by Ezard at the star has prime location, looking out at Darling Harbour and the Sydney cityscape. Perfect for a meal before a show at the Lyric theatre, which is just what we did. It is a hatted steak house, that also focuses on Australian produce and seasonal ingredients. They offer ala carte, pre theatre and champagne lunches. We were here for a 3 course champagne lunch, with unlimited Perrier Jouet for $135 for a maximum of a three hour stay, which is pretty good for a hatted restaurant with drinks. New executive chef Danny Karam and team has a marvelous menu of beautifully prepared foods, cooked and presented like works of art. Before our menu options came out, we had my favourite thing – restaurant bread! This was a brioche loaf, quite like a croissant which was outstanding. For the entrees, we had the oysters, beautifully shucked and served with a fresh vinaigrette. The beef tartare was marvelous– like a work of art with a beetroot sheet, curried egg topping and radish. I can’t explain how good this was. If you are after a fresh tasty dish you can order the fig salad, buffalo mozarrella, duck ham, candied walnut, bitter leaves and balsamic dressing. The chilled prawns with avocado, coconut and chilli dressing also had a nice bite to it. Amazingly, all starters are gluten free. For the mains, we tried the Roasted lamb rack with an eggplant puree, tomato chutney, salt bush, goats cheese croquette and roasted onions. Cooked exactly as asked, the meat was wonderful quality and the flavours complemented each other perfectly. Another great option was the grass fed angus fillet with roasted cauliflower and gremolata. It came accompanied with a variety of sauces including hot mustard, horseradish crème, bbq and salse verde. The desserts were the climax to an amazing three course meal. You wouldn’t know from the menu, but the “chocolate ganache” was infact a chocolate ball, topped with chocolate sauce revealing peanut mousse and banana ice cream underneath – an absolute work of art. We also tried the lemon tart and cheese platter which was an extremely generous serving. As for the service, it was as top notch as it should be, wait staff serving promptly and they kept the champagne flowing, and filled our glasses as we finished them. We can’t speak highly enough of this restaurant and we will certainly be back.

R. I.

Superb. Food. Service. Delicious. Sophisticated, not pretentious. Friendly staff. Duck. Lamb. Fish. Oysters. Bugs. Scallops. Wear jeans or your $$$. Special night for us, not the norm. Treat yourself!

R. Z.

Great meal and service. While they may not like me saying this, their sides were better than the beef (however the beef was great, but the sides were awesome). Loved the eggplant. Would go again just for that.

J. S.

Was excellent, top quality food and service

M. S.

Extremely tasty food + excellent customer service. Staff were nice enough to accommodate my group without a booking on a busy Friday night. I’ll definitely go back!

C. T.

Glad we picked the right place to celebrate my husband's birthday. Ambience, staff, mocktails, entree, mains and the dessert all excellent. Steak was cook in perfection. I highly recommend it to everyone, it's pricey but worth it. Merci beaucoup!!!

e. g.

In my opinion, One of the best places for steak or food in general, in Sydney if not the world. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Steaks are very consistent as I’ve been here numerous times. P.S. Dany, Ask Corey for the mac’n’cheese recipe

M. S.

Extremely tasty food + excellent customer service. Staff were nice enough to accommodate my group without a booking on a busy Friday night. I’ll definitely go back!

T. H.

Excellent food and service! Prateek was an outstanding server and looked after us well!

D. L.

The food, service, wine and venue is just fantastic. I have rarely eaten at places that just get everything spot on. This was one of them every mouth full from the food and wine was amazing. Bravo

K. S.

The best food, service and atmosphere! My absolute favourite place to dine.

D. P.

An excellent dining experience. The view over the wharfs is pleasent (despite the poor weather on the day). …

W. D.

Steak was cooked to perfection! Beautiful sides and service was excellent. We went as a large group so had a set menu. They were also able to cater and change the entree for me because i was pregnant which was amazing as I had not advised them prior upon booking.

E. S.

Was excellent best food and service

J. A.

Slightly Over-priced steakhouse that offers the same fare as any other steak joint in town. Ambience is slightly nicer but I don't think that should cost extra. At least parking is easy given its at the casino

Best steak we've ever had!!! best service we received from Alex.

T. Y.

Nice looking restaurant and good atmosphere. The service was great and very professional. I was slightly let down by the lamb rack which was dry. …

A. L.

Prateek served us very well. He deserves a compliment from the manager. The food is good too.

S. C.

The food was so nice, the king prawn dish we had was the best in the opinion. And Alex was so helpful and gave us a really good experience.

j. l.

This is by far the best restaurant i have been to in sydney! The food was exceptional, great wine list, but most of all the service was the highlight of tge evening. Thank you for the attentive service. Will highly recommend to everyone.

J. V.

The quality and final product of their dishes come with the price. Have always enjoyed our experience each and every time at BLACK. What I love the most are their desserts, just outstanding.

L. A.

Fantastic food, fantastic evening and hosted by Prateek, which made our anniversary dinner all the more wonderful! Thank you Black Bar and Grill!

G. C.

Very good steakhouse featuring Australian steak. Flavor-wise for steaks, I still think this place is bit behind the best steakhouses in Chicago, Kansas City or Las Vegas, but quality of the food and service make this a very satisfying alternative.

A. D. G.

Nikola was so nice, knowledgeable and had great customer service. He really made our night enjoyable. Food was great as well

A. A.

Great fit out and atmosphere located in The Star, and service was fast too. Food was fresh and flavoursome, and some of the menu options were exclusive and diverse which is always a plus for me! Great place worth checking out!

S. S.

I really enjoyed my dinner at BLACK Bar & Grill. The glass of wine I had was delicious (it was Tomfoolery Pinot Noir High Cotton if anyone is interested). The meat and sides I ate were also delicious. I particularly recommend the potato, and brussel sprout sides.

T. F.

That was one delicious cow! I'm a big beef eater, could even say I enjoy it religiously. The steak here was just amazing! Probably the best I've had in Sydney.

T.

Came for mothers birthday, would recommend and will be coming again. A great atmosphere, excellent food and amazing service. Dessert is a must here along with a steak.

E. F.

Fancy steak restaurant, ideal for a date or for hanging out with frinds, the plates are quite generous... the highlight of my lunch was the service, friendly staff. Plates came out really quick.

s. c.

Had a great experience at this one of a kind restaurant. Went for dinner this weekend and while the food is quite pricey, it sure is worth it. Great selection of food and cooked perfectly.

A. M.

We were seeing a show at lyric theater and needed a quick meal so we sat in the bar section. The service was fantastic, and they were very accommodating to my coeliac gluten free diet.

S. H.

Absolutely love this place ..........!!!!! Great food, fantastic staff, excellent service, nice ambience, relaxing atmosphere and food presentation. Been here so many times, never been let down. Keep up the great work guys!! 5 stars***** highly recommend to anyone who has not tried.

2 dozen Oysters and the Seafood tasting, paired excellent with a bottle of 2013 Cloudy Bay ‘Te Koko’ , staff friendly and polite, decor relaxed, just superb. Love the service, knowledgeable staff and cheerful.

Great service and ambiance. The food is amazing presented beautifully & always consistent full of flavour🤤 favourite place to chill relax and unwind🍹

High quality food and environment. Awesome steaks cooked to perfection. Only disappointment they don't have A5 Kobe or Wagyu on menu.

A. A.

excellent fine dining & must visit place in sydney

C. E.

One of my favourite steak houses in Sydney! The food and service are both commendable! :)

I. S. H.

The one-hatted spin-off restaurant by Melbourne's Teage Ezard has been on my visit list for quite some time. It's not all it's cracked up to be, however. Service: service was a bit...wishy washy. When it was good, it was of the standards come to be expected of fine dining. When not...it was quite surprising. Some dishes were brought to our tables without any introduction at all, while we were offered a second loaf of wonderful brioche bread. Discontinuous? It seems to be that way. Decor: It's The Star. Needless to say, it is impeccable. Though you can't really get much of an alfresco view, the fact that you can still see out to an almost borderless windowed vista is still a very nice touch. No matter if you're not sitting by the window - the inside of the restaurant is equally pristine. Food: for the most part, very, very good. Flavours were bold and rich, not pandering to subtle and/or weird experiments that don't work. My main issue was that the food came in such a way that we were already feeling full after our third course - a particularly heavy poached egg & jamon dish. Ezard has since removed their degustation menu, and perhaps this is a good thing - if you went a la carte, you may well be rewarded handsomely.

Very friendly staff and good service especially Lewiston.

Black is amazing. Fantastic dining room setting, efficient and competent service, great view over the harbour towards the bridge and fantastic food. WOuld be confident to say the best entrees I have had in sydney and desserts as well. Highly recommend for people to go and check Black out!

Food took too long to come out then we had to rush dessert... One of the steaks was rare by the bone. Was unable to be finished. Service OK.

Once seated, our waiter quickly explained to us how the menu worked as it was our first time dinning here. Besides the à la carte menu, there is also a pre-theatre set menu on offer, wine list came on an iPad. While we pondered about what to order, the complimentary house made brioche arrived at our table. Even though the loaf was soft, rich and creamy, we just could not resist the soft and smooth butter that came with it. Flakes of volcanic black salt is also on the table if you should fancy it. The Beef Tartare with heirloom beets, mustard ice cream and puffed wild rice was delicious, the Lamb Rack which came with spring bean cassoulet and black garlic was cooked to perfection. The dessert dish Upside-down Cake served with pineapple curd, white chocolate powder and pineapple sorbet did not disappoint either. My friend was not very impressed with her dessert though, the Honeycrunch which was served with clover honey parfait, ginger biscuit, honeycomb and cinnamon. It was not what she had expected and felt it should have had a bit more honey taste and sweetness to it.

Really enjoyed the food and service.

High priced prestigious location. Fantastic views to the harbour. Good food, but extremely loud. Lots of - let's say "interesting" guys from here and there, attracted by the gambling scene at the STAR.

Considering the price, location and quality.... BLACK is under appreciated. Yes it may be a bit expensive, however the experience is amazing ( steak tartare is a must) My major qualms lie in the attentiveness of the staff and a lack of texture.... Like a feature wall or painting... Something that stands out.

H. E.

In short, best steak i ever tried. That is beside the good location, service and nice atmosphere.

C.

Service was excellent, very friendly and quick. Sides were excellent, and while the steak was good, it fell short of my expectations - especially given the premium price tag.

D. O.

Amazing service from Nicola!! Food and atmosphere was perfect. Even for a Saturday night. Strongly recommend to friends and everyone.

I really enjoy going to this place for a good quality steak. It is a bit pricey, but well worth the money spent. With a great view of Pyrmont, it's the perfect place for romantic dinner, or a …

Superb food and drinks menu, offers plenty of options even if you are not a steak person. Was lucky enough to try Black during crayfish month, and impressed at how good their seafood dishes were. Other pleasant surprises were their delicious cocktails, and their fine dining take on mac and cheese.

Pricey but this place is legit. Very good cuts of meat, perfectly cooked. What else does one want from a steakhouse?

S. P.

Had a great time, great food. Francesca the waitress was excellent, great service.

A. T.

Edwin was a such a pleasant and exceptional attendant xxx

Advice if you're after some nice meat, get the Flat Iron steak, its a bit pricey but worth it. I also had the grain fed scotch.... I won't get that again, the sides are awesome value, $30 for 3, recommend the brocollini and mac and cheese!

D. M.

Service was great. Staff were very nice and helpful. Extensive wine list. Food was bland and extremely over priced.
