Comments of The Gantry Restaurant
C. C.
This new restaurant, opened only 2-3 months ago, is highly recommended. The menu was well considered and matching wines were delicious. We were seated outside and loved the atmosphere. Each course was wonderfully cooked and presented, especially the wagyu. Friendly and efficient service topped off a great night.
E. C.
I love how this fine dining restaurant is pet friendly. Everyone could bring their fluffy puppies to enjoy the meal and have such wonderful experience.
I had a vegetarian set menu and everything was delicious and the portions were very decent as well. Can't wait to visit again soon.
T. N.
The food, service and attention to detail is fantastic. I strongly appreciated the staff being so informative with the dishes as they served them, it made the experience more enjoyable. If you also happen to celebrate a special occasion such as an anniversary which was our case, The Gantry is a great choice, and we’re very grateful for their consideration and special treatment.

Just had the amazing 4 course vegetarian tasting menu from here and it did not disappoint. Lovely staff and incredible food. A must see!
L. K.
I had the 4 course meal and the food divine. Only my second time having course meals, but definitely the best place I’ve been to. The turkey breast and leg and the carrots were the best. Not sure what they did but it was the best carrot I’ve ever had. Went for my 1 year anniversary and they organised a cute dessert as well which was much appreciated. The server (Jun) was amazing, made the whole experience way better, gotta give credit to Jun for making the night a really special experience. Will be coming here again for special occasions!

Came here for my birthday and got the 4 course vegetarian tasting menu. It was amazing. Food was so different and staff so well informed.
I would highly recommend for a special occasion.
S. T.
Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. Rhys and the team in the kitchen are producing dishes they should be really proud of. The Chef’s Selection was amazing, the dishes were exciting, delicious and perfectly suited to the setting.
C. H.
By far the best dinning experience in Sydney very unassuming but the chef Rhys Connell is a genius! Would highly recommend this place to anyone my clients loved there meal and will be back.
M. R.
his place was pricey. There was a four course set menu and little alternative, and it wasn't cheap. But it was a nicely balanced meal with a good blend of tastes and some original touches. The main course was either focussed around super tender Wagyu beef or delicious white fish, but both were particularly ungenerous in size, so if you are a big eater, I wouldn't recommend this place, unless you are content to fill yourself on their delicious, warm sourdough bread. The doors were open the whole length of the room and it was lovely to sit in the evening in the nicely designed low lighting looking over the old piers and the harbour.
B. R.
We have the 4 dish tasting menu and it was delicious. We just wish we had got the 6 dish with the paired drinks even for the extra price would of been more then worth it just to try even just once.
Staff were great atmosphere great
Just Great

Took my husband for his birthday a few weeks ago. We had the Tasting Menu and was fabulous! Well balanced flavors paired with excellent wine! Lovely Harbour view and atmosphere followed by 5 start costumer service! Totally recommended
E. T.
I ate here on a Tuesday night and it was fantastic! Food and service was on point. I loved every single dish that came out and enjoyed the wines too. My favourites would have to be the Sydney Rock Oysters served with the finger lime and dessert! Everyone at the table enjoyed the service and food so much!
Suggestion for improvement would be to work on the interior decoration. It’s a bit bland or bistro like, compared to the outdoor area which looks more interesting. Other than that, I would happily revisit! Added to my favourites now :)
C. M.
The vegan tasting menu was fantastic, very creative. Service was excellent. My only suggestion is to turn on the outdoor heaters in the evening even if the day was warm, it got pretty chilly outside for our 8pm dinner.
D.
Beautiful location and great food and fine dining experience with the set menu
Each dish was quite unique and had a good mixture of textures and flavours
F. V. (.
Very yummy tasting menu. The staff were very friendly and the kitchen did their best to accommodate us!
K. P.
Stunning location on the water. The deck outside is the perfect place for a long weekend lunch in the sun. Great selection of pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan options in both tasting menus and a la carte. Good wine selection by the glass. The food is really tasty and well presented. Great service. Highly recommend
N. D.
Brilliant views, the right food and the best service. A restaurant not to miss and a must visit with your family, partner or even a friend. The menu presents some unique dishes that complement the mood that Pier One Sydney Harbour hotel offers. The mood is individualist,creative and calming at the same time.
J. G.
Very good service. Deep alcohol/wine selection. Very well priced considering the quality and menu. My veal tongue was perfectly cooked, super tender. The fig and ricotta entree was delightful. Was hoping for burrata on the menu, but oh well. Chocolate dessert was impressive, while not being overly decadent. Well return sooner than later.
A. n.
EXCELLENT!!! You won't be disappointed. Well seasoned and beautiful flavour combinations for my two meals. Waitress was knowledgeable on both the food and wine selections. Beautiful decor.
We ate here for both Breakfast and Dinner. Would recommend both!
B. W.
Went for my wife's birthday lunch and it was all sensational. The Wagyu was tender and flavourful. Wine list simple and spot on with the food. Staff very friendly and helpful. The view is unique to Sydney. Will be back.
i. p.
Thank you to Rhys and the team! Amazing food, wine, service, and location. We loved the Chefs Selection and hope to be back soon!
J. A.
Incredible. The food was amazing and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Genuinely one of the best dining experiences I've had.
S. T.
The food was delicious and the staff so friendly and obliging. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience there.
J. N.
Beautiful presentation and quality food.
B. M.
overall very good place to eat love the creativity with the meals and i also loved the guy waiter! So hot!!!!
J. T.
Great venue for occasion!
Was here for family gathering, some had preferences different to the set menu which they were more than happy to accommodate. Customer service was excellent. The food was most enjoyable.
I didn't make any request for seating arrangement so we were organised on the balcony. There was an engagement party so it got quite rowdy.
Would be back and definitely would recommend.
S. A.
The atmosphere was mellow and quiet but perhaps this was because it wasn't very full. The desserts were fantastic. This seems like a good place to come with family with the variety of options for people with different tastes. There are plenty of good vegetarian options. You will need relatively deep pockets to eat here, however, the food does not disappoint.
J. T.
Food was excellent portions generous every dish was tasty. Only downside was they seemed understaffed on the night and service was under par.
O. F.
Very well thought out menu by the kitchen team here. Had digustation dinner and it was great. A few dishes were slightly on the salty side but good overall.
M. H.
My partner and I came here for a special anniversary dinner and we couldn't be more happy with our choice. We had the 4 course vegan tasting menu and it was honestly the most delicious food we have had in a long time (my partner is not vegan but he loved the food as much as me!). The staff were all so attentive and so friendly, making the evening even more special. They put us on a lovely table by the water and continued to make the atmosphere as lovely as the food. We would definitely recommend this hidden gem for a special occasion.
K. D.
Fabulous food!! The flavours were delicious and plating impeccable. The harbourside spot understated but lovely.
K. F.
The food is creative and delicious. The tasting menu was a great way to relax, to try the dishes and wines, and was more than enough food. Beautiful meal!
T. B.
Absolutely beautiful food and service.
Staff go above and beyond. Food is delicious. Highly recommend.
M. J.
Very well presented dishes with amazing flavours. The type of experience you want for the money your paying.
We went again in the covid safe era and it was a wonderful experience, it felt very clean, staff very aware of keeping distance as much as possible and the food was amazing.
M. P.
This restaurant by the wharfs had great service and great food. The location was awesome as well. I would definitely be heading back here again.
M. L.
Delicious food in a lovely quiet spot on the finger wharfs. Dessert was excellent and service was excellent.
D. G.
Looking for exquisite and delicious? Book your table now! Fabulous and flavoursome in a waterfront Sydney Harbour setting
j. m.
Outstanding location, venue, service and most of all food. The Chef's selection was sublime.
V. O.
Went there for my wife's birthday and had the 5 course dinner with matching wines. Food was outstanding, the wines were perfectly matched and the staff were very friendly and attentive. They even brought out a small birthday surprise after dessert!
L. “. Z.
The staff and service were lovely, food was AMAZING! Had a group of 7 for a birthday and everyone really enjoyed their meals and time!
D. P.
The service was perfect. Dining on the balcony in the sun on a winters day was perfect. The wine list is small but my boss approved! The vegan options are plenty. Highly recommend.
M.
Very nice area and ambiance. Food was mediocre, the starters and appetizers were so-so. The mains were pretty good and the dessert is good as well.
E. F.
Staff let the restaurant down here. Our waitress was hard to catch, had no idea what half the words on the menu were and finally refused to let us taste one of the wines by the glass. We ended up feeling unwelcome, and left ordering no wine or dessert because of the poor service. At almost $50 for one of our mains you expect top notch service. The food was nice, the wagyu was wonderfully cooked. They could do with a few sides available on their pre dinner menu, like salad or vegetables, or simply just offer their a la carte on Saturdays.
C. S.
Had a lovely dinner here on Saturday night. We had the vegetarian 4 course dinner, however there is also the vegan and meat 4 course options. It appears to be a dog friendly restaurant, with dogs allowed inside the restaurant at dinner and some snacks provided for the dogs. The cucumber starter was probably my favourite. The food is beautifully presented and it is not too much food despite being four courses. They primarily take card and require your card details to confirm a booking.
T. L.
Excellent view point. Waiters are very nice. Plaster are artistic, wonderful!
C. M.
Dined at The Gantry in late 2016, the service was impeccable and of course the views of the harbour were fantastic. The food was 10/10. I highly recommend this restaurant
R. L.
Great restaurant, particularly for seafood. The service, location and views make this a great place to celebrate a special occasion
M.
My first ever visit was immaculate, everything was near perfect.
The view is amazing, perfect for a romantic atmosphere.
However, post lockdown revisit it seems they've dropped the ball a little. Service was slow and quality did not resonate.
Be mindful it is near the water and common for 'odours' within the vicinity and during dining.
H. M.
Food was amazing, paired excellently with wine. Service was a little disappointing, we were ignored other than being poured water to start with, had to flag down a waiter. Given its a set menu, we didn't need much time to decide! We asked for the sommelier, but received our first dishes before we were able to order our wine. After we had ordered the wine and had the first course, service was much better and couldn't be faulted, ensuring our wine was topped up. This is the second time we've been ignored initially
I. G.
It was an amazing experience ordering Tasting Menu for lunch. Each meal was not only beautiful on the plate but also freshly cooked and extremely delicious. Apart from an enjoyable food, the atmosphere of this place is relaxing and staff is very friendly. Thank you Gantry and the team, we'll be back soon!
K. C.
Loved our evening at the gantry, lovely food super lovely service, great setting. Felt the wine (by the glass at least) slightly under delivered for a venue of this calibre but would still love to go back. Perfect esp on a summers evening.
T. L.
Spectacular food, service and all round evening. We found ourselves with a new four course tasting menu. Each course was well balanced with each ingredient to play its magical part in fulfilling the perfect dish. This was not a meal that was all show no action, but all action with all show. The plate was clearly put together with more than two eyes, it felt like a team had all contributed to create the perfect balance of harmony and flavour. Nothing was too dominating nothing was to overwhelming. True perfection. It was clear that love was put into each course and credit to all involved. Well done and bravo to the kitchen. Equally, thanks to the service. Do not hesitate to book, do not hesitate to opt for the tasting menu. We will be back next season to see what else they can do. Many thanks, Tim and Tiff.
A. J.
Great place for a drink overlooking the harbour. Views and service great. Only need to learn how to make an aperol spritz.
L. A.
Enjoyed the amazing tasting menu here with a friend last week. The staff were all so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the food and wines. Safety was a priority with al staff in masks and ensuring distancing was observed. The atmosphere and experience was amazing and I'll certainly be back!
J. Y.
Nice presentation, dishes well prepared. Lookout over the water
M. D.
Absolutely awesome food and service. Superb
M. T.
Ate here Saturday night after getting engaged. The staff were amazing and very congratulatory. Food and service was fantastic. We booked for 530 as we were going to the Opera House and the food came out quickly to allow us to get there on time. Would definitely return!
K. T.
We celebrated our birthday with the Wagyu Truffle experience. The food was fantastic, as usual. We also had to takeaway the food as we simply couldn't finish the 1kg steak. The staff were friendly and social distancing measures were being observed. Great to be able to dine again!
R. T.
Location is beautiful. Food is nice. Service today was average. Mitch the young sommelier is a wealth of knowledge
J. N.
This is a good restaurant. The food is very good and they have the apertiser, entree, main in a way you can have any combination. Medium sized wine list with an excellent selection at a every level all at a.reasonable price. This allowed us to drink some excellent wines wit the terrific food. Service could have been fractionally more attentive but you can't have everything.
N. H.
Food was amazing, drink service too slow but the food service was quick between courses. Paying the bill was a nightmare due to a change in shift and a dreadful system not showing some items on the receipt. Overall a nice relaxing spot to have lunch, however would not rush back.
J. M.
Great service and amazing food, including vegan options

Had lunch here today, after reading about it in Broadsheet. Online reviews were kind, and despite the steep prices I could see on their website, I jumped on the basis of the harbour views and the comments about the food. And to be fair, the food I ate was great, bar the fries, but more on that later. The problem with restaurants like this that operate out of well located hotels is something of a conundrum. The restaurant is part of a greater economic whole, and prices are routinely high to reflect this and the price of the prime real estate they live on. Grantry lives in this space. It's a great spot, at Pier One on the harbour, but it falls short of it's high prices. Two entrees of oysters and two mains (from a list of only five) and one modest bottle of wine from the short and expensive list made for a bill of 250 dollars. The food was very good, and the service friendly and attentive, but the value just isn't there. It's just good, not great. It's competent, but not remarkable, and it's the food that lets it down, or rather the quantity and the extras. At this price I want to see something more on my plate, not a tiny portion covering a quarter of it, served with tepid fries that would embarass McDonalds. It's simply too little for the money, given the literally hundreds of other choices nearby, many of which present a greater value proposition. It's a tough game, sure, especially now, but in terms of a review, it's just too far a stretch to recommend this. It's really for people staying in the hotel, that don't know better or don't care. Good, certainly, but just not good enough for the money. It's a one-timer from me, sorry. We left and walked up to the Harbour View Hotel for another wine, and another view.
S. B.
Great food and service. We had the 4 course tasting menu and it was really good. And for a change, we walked out really full after a fine dining experience :) Rushali looked after us well. Wife's birthday done right!
S. G.
Amazing and delicious food. Staff are so friendly and lovely and looked after me since I have allergies and dietary requirements Made the experience relaxing and they made sure our food was up to standard. Thank you again.
H. F.
Went here with our dogs for their doggie dogustation menu and it didn't disappoint! Both dogs loved everything that they were given. Cute little gimmic and something nice and different different do with your dogs. They are extremely dog friendly which was really nice. Would recommend
M. B.
Had the tasting menu for dinner and it was all delicious, especially the chocolate dessert. The kangaroo was really nice and not gamey. Only 4 stars because we had to call the waiter a few times for service. They were as not attentive as I would have expected but overall a good experience.
A.
It is rare that I consider a high-price restaurant worth it, but this is the exception. The food was excellent, the service was delightful, and the wharfs are such a lovely place to just sit and look out over the water. Honestly amazing.
D. S.
Incredible location, right on the water. Perfect place to grab a drink and watch the world go by, especially if you walk down to the end of the pier for a view of Sydney Harbour Bridge
J. R.
Food was great. Service was just okay. Started out great but never received a refill on our water and yet it cost $5 per person for still! I would have rated higher because of the food but we weren't warned about the water price and we're just asked if we wanted still or sparkling. I commented to the hotel and they responded fairly poorly.
J. H.
We had a girls birthday lunch Saturday 23rd January and we had such an amazing experience. It was truly down to our waitress, we think her name is Amanda (tall blonde). She made our day. We had the set Sydney Festival menu and the entre blew my mind. Will definitely be back!
T. N.
Would give 4.5 stars. Great food, great service. Just a tad bit overpriced. Although the bar could make us cocktails there was no menu to choose from. That would have been a nice addition
D. H.
One of the best dinners I’ve had in Sydney. Food was simply immaculate and every dish they brought out was delicious. The wagyu was perfect and the chocolate dessert was just divine. The only downside was that the service was quiet slow. Waiters were friendly but they can really improve on their service
D. F.
Im a bit late with the review as we were trying to remember the waitress's name from October. Outstanding service and culinary dishes, presentation second to none. This is why it gets the 5 stars. Also stayed the evening at the Hotel as a Staycation......The Autograph Collection never fails to provide the experince during a much needed wind-down.
J. T.
Enjoyed the dishes. Nice place for a get together
P. D.
Visited Friday evening for dinner. The evening started slowly with poor attention from service staff. The wait for staff to take even drinks orders and then to bring the drinks and bread was disappointing. Large wine menu was good. The food menu was very good. The flavours were exceptional and very well received by our group. Staff were polite yet seemed inexperienced for the most part given the price points of the establishment. Quality food was the winner both on the regular and vegetarian menus.
D. M.
The service was excellent. The food was good. I had the vegan option. It was a bit salty at times. I felt the deserts could have been more varied as both were sorbets. I did feel paying the same amount as a full meat option a bit rough as the vegan wine was extra.
H. B.
Our group of 13 people thoroughly enjoyed your food but we experienced a terrible wine serving. We ordered 2 bottles, but the waiter brought 1 bottle and simply opened it without showing to the person who ordered, and poured into 6 glasses. Then the other 7 people had to wait more than 5 minutes just waiting for the second bottle to come. Again one waiter came and opened the screw cap without showing the label to us. We complained this to the manager but he failed to make a proper polite apology. We have never seen this kind of rude wine serving.
t. m.
The restaurant is based on the Marriott Autograph hotel on Pier 1, which is an excellent location. We stayed at the hotel, so we had breakfast in the restaurant which became The Gantry at night. We had a table outside, which was just perfect overlooking the water. The menu was very good - we had the A La Carte menu rather than the testing menu. The Wagyu beef was excellent, but everything that we had was very good. There was also a good wine selection, by the glass as well as bottles. The staff were very professional and knowledgable about the food and wine. It was a lovely meal, especially as it was our last night before returning to the UK after a month in Australia and New Zealand.
S. H.
We had the vegan degustation and I've never eaten Vegan and actually been happy about it before. I'm sure their non vegan options were also good. It was chef's table kind of stuff
The service was very friendly with dynamic and professional staff. I actually never noticed when they would refill my wine or water.
Thanks guys for a great night.
J. E.
The food here is at the same level as Aria, but more affordable. We had the Snapper and Wagyu mains and chocolate and fejoa deserts. All were well presented with the deserts being a particular highlight. All dishes were intensely flavoured, with a range of complementary tastes and the ingredients seemed of high quality. Portions are of
a reasonable size and I was pretty full after 2 courses. The waiter's were very friendly and to me that added to the experience. If you were after a more formal experience, it might be less suitable. They picked up on clues and made up an anniversary plate for us, which was very nice. I rarely go to the same restaurant twice but I'll be making an exception here.
K.
The food was decent, lots to choose from. My favourite was the dessert, but the service was the standout. I docked one star off for the ambience. We were seated inside so the atmosphere was a bit dull. I'd imagine it would be better to sit outside since there is an nice little outdoor area.
M. C.
The food, scenery and service were great. Lovely spot for a relaxed weekend lunch. The wait staff was friendly and professional.
The only downside was that they overcharged us by mistake - charged 6 tasting menus for 5 people. They apologised but it's been more than a week and we still have not received our refund. The accounting department needs to be more efficient.
C. V.
Far beyond our expectations! We celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary here during the Vivid festival. Being vegetarians we were happy to find out that The Gantry offered a vegetarian and vegan tasting menu (we don't come across this too often). The food here was truly impressive! The flavours were complex and well thought out. We took our time with each and every bite, not wanting it to end.
The service was exceptional with each and every staff who appeared committed to making our evening a pleasurable one. Thank you to all the staff, your efforts truly made a difference.
The ambiance was perfect for a romantic dinner! Up market decor, dim lights and what appeared to be the most appropriate playlist of smooth sounds playing in the background. So grateful we chose this restaurant especially during Vivid as it gave us a break from the hustle and bustle that we were yet to experience. Thank you again for a memorable evening.
M. C.
Just beautiful especially on a brilliant Sydney day 🌞
M. R.
We celebrated my 40th birthday last night and had the beat experience ever. The food was exceptional and our host Harshal Thakkar made your our evening was special and recommended some wonderful dishes. 5 star for his customer service.
A. L.
Came here for a special occasion and was served by a professional and well-trained staff member. Forgot his name but he definitely matched the reputation of this restaurant. Unfortunately not the same could be said about the other servers.
Food was delicious, kangaroo and crab was cooked well. The peppers that came with the kangaroo was extremely chilli - when we asked the waitress about it they said the server should have warned us beforehand but they failed to.
Was a cold night and the heater behind us didn’t work - they do provide a throw if you need it which was a nice touch.
Overall not a bad experience at all but you do pay more for the location and the little misses make it a 4 star experience.
P. Y.
Visiting Sydney for the first time, I was taken to The Gantry for a birthday treat and what a treat it turned out to be ! We chose the new tasting menu which was being served for the first time that evening paired with wine and every course was as delicious as the next. The presentation and ultra friendly service was first class in every way and a match for some of London's top restaurants. The staff made us feel relaxed from the beginning to the end of the evening and I have to say a big thank you for the fabulous time we spent at your restaurant.
M. C.
I took my partner here for his 30th birthday and it was a wonderful night. The setting was beautiful, with an industrial look and feel which I love, and the ambiance was very intimate. The only down-fall, and this is me being picky, is the air-con cooled down to an uncomfortable setting towards the end of the night. The food was lovely, and beautifully presented - our favorite dish was the quail. To conclude this review, the sommelier truly made our night, with his extensive knowledge about the wine, and the complimentary sake and cheese platter at the end. Overall a very successful evening.
G. S.
My boyfriend and I dined at The Gantry last night for our 2 year anniversary and it was hands down the best dining experience I've yet to have.
The staff were unaware that it was our anniversary but welcomed us with such warmth and kindness, seating us at the best table in the restaurant.
We opted for the 6 course tasting menu - degustation and it in itself was such an incredible experience. Each meal was created, cooked and presented with such perfection - I've never experience such fine, delicate, delicious flavours. Paired perfectly with the most unique, subtle and absolutely delicious wines we were blown away - hats off to the sommelier you are VERY good at what you do. The timing between courses was perfect and the staff demonstrated their wealth of knowledge around the food and wine in a way that increased our appreciation for the dish even further without carrying on and allowing our food to get cold. Each dish and glass of wine was very generously sized we left full to the brim but in the best way possible. It's a pricey dining experience, but all degustations of this type are, and it was absolutely worth every single penny. I cannot wait to find another excuse to dine with The Gantry team again. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
A. S.
The four of us visited The Gantry on Saturday night. All of us were pleasantly surprised with the quality of service and food. Loved the raw king fish and kangaroo dishes. Jacob - out waiter - provided exceptionally friendly service.

Downsides:
There IS no signage to help you find this restaurant. Embark on this at your peril!
If you have a thing for liking a clean loo at your restaurant, given how much this places charges, you'd be disappointed.
Again, given this is a 1 hat restaurant, there should not be tables that wobble. Mine wasn't the only party that elected to be resat at a different table because of table wobble.
All of that notwithstanding:
The food is sublime. Completely, simply just sublime. This place seriously knows how to turn out a quality meal.
Our table waiter got funnier as the meal went on (5 course degustation) which actually went to making the meal more enjoyable.
The pride that the staff have in the quality of their food is clear by how they present and describe the plates to the diners.
E. W.
The staff were lovely and ensured that we were well hydrated given the heatwave that came on Friday.
The W.A. Honey Bugs was an amazing entree to have and truly went beyond my expectations. The mains were still good (Pan Roast Snapper & veal tongue) but didn't quite provide the same 'wow' factor the honey bugs provided.
Also made a booking as a 'date', would have been nice if the staff could have organised a rose on the table to give it a more romantic feel (Don't actually know if they can do this). Otherwise, it was a great night and fine dining experience.
R. V.
One of the top restaurants we have been to. One hatted restaurant striving for two. Amazing food and service. Went in for a menu tasting for our wedding. Got to sample upcoming dishes that's not even on the menu yet. My mind is blown away! What an enjoyable night.
A. C.
Impeccable service. We arranged a large wedding reception at this venue in March 2017. The overall experience, starting from booking to deciding the menu to the level of service and attention to guests on the day were absolutely top class. The food also meets the standard. Not your cheapest restaurant down the road but if you are looking to organise a significant event at a great location, this restaurant makes the cut.
B. J.
The best dinner steak and sides I've had in a long time.
K. S.
Wife and I had a really good lunch at The Gantry.
Entrees: we had the calamari, yellow fin and shared spanner crab, all very good. Yellow fin was probably the best.
Main: quail was very tasty but slightly over cooked; veal was just a touch under cooked and not particularly well balanced with the sweetbread (too heavy).
All was forgiven when we shared the chocolate dessert, which was rich had lots of texture, fun and delightful.
Service was top notch.
Spent just under $200 between us two, no alcohol.
M. S.
Took the team here for a celebration lynch. Great goid. Wine was a little pricey but the water view made up for it
B. F.
Had a delectable degustation here. Romantic, fabulous food & well matched wines. Started & ended with martinis. Great deck to retire to after dinner. Well worth the experience
I. L.
Excellent service, dishes were well presented with lovely fresh flavours. Very good portion size. Great view nearby to go for a stroll after meal. Would definitely come back
B. M.
We had the tasting vegan menu for Father’s Day. It was my hubby’s first Father’s Day and team made sure that everything was well looked after from food to service. Just wish they had put more efforts in the desert as it was just a strawberry sorbet presented very well and tasty but nothing worth talking about. Overall fantastic experience with great views!
L. M.
What a lovely evening we had at the Gantry. 4 children and 7 adults. We had the tasting menu and all at the table loved the food. The staff were delightful. We were very impressed with the entire experience
M. C.
Really nice vibe with a great outdoor view, a seperate vegetarian menu, awesome wine menu
C. F.
Really enjoyed my experience here. I had a vegetarian degustation and my partner had the standard degustation menu. We both liked all the dishes. I also has other dietary requirements as I was pregnant at the time we went which they were happy to accomodate. Would definitely eat here again!
v. Z.
Very good customer service and taste good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J. S.
One of the best dining experiences I’ve had recently. We were a bit rushed because we were off to the theatre but the staff were amazing and quick and the meal was bursting with flavour! Will be back
A. K.
Really enjoyed the venue. Great location, good vibe, helpful staff and the food was great. Will definitely be back.
S. H.
We had the vegan degustation and I've never eaten Vegan and actually been happy about it before. I'm sure their non vegan options were also good. It was chef's table kind of stuff …

Impeccable service. We arranged a large wedding reception at this venue in March 2017. The overall experience, starting from booking to deciding the menu to the level of service and attention to guests on the day were absolutely top class. …

Visited Friday evening for dinner. The evening started slowly with poor attention from service staff. The wait for staff to take even drinks orders and then to bring the drinks and bread was disappointing. Large wine menu was good. The food …

Came here for a special occasion and was served by a professional and well-trained staff member. Forgot his name but he definitely matched the reputation of this restaurant. Unfortunately not the same could be said about the other servers. …

If you want to know how good the food at The Gantry Restaurant & Bar really is, all you need to do is order from the kids menu. With generous portions, tasty food and mind blowing Banana Splits, you will not be left unsatisfied. And that's not even mentioning the 'real adult' food!... Or the harbour views. The Gantry is one of those places where half of you wants to sing it's praises to the entire world and the other half, keep it a secret so you can keep it ALL to yourself.

I couldn't fault this place. The food was great, the views were great, the atmosphere was great and quiet enough to hold a coversation with my Wife. Completely catered for a celiac. From the drinks on the Menu to the choclates for dessert.
E. G.
Very relaxing atmosphere, must experience their set menu, we enjoyed every dish, cooked with fresh ingredients full of character and super yammy. . . My favourite is kangaroo stack.
B. S.
Amazing food and friendly helpful staff, this place gets every dish over the line. I am in awe of how consistent they are, well done to the whole team.
D. K.
For the price the food is ok. I would not have guessed it was hatted for their normal or vegetarian options and the portions were not generous. The service was excellent.
I would not go there again for another special occasion.

An amazing meal! The service was outstanding and so accommodating throughout the entire meal! The availability of gluten free options was so amazing, all of the food was truly delicious!
I. G.
I had the degustation menu here which was around $125. It is most likely the highest amount that I paid for a meal ever. Although the food was excellent It didn't feel worth paying the extra money. I'd say it's worth to go but not justified the degustation menu in my opinion.
G. A.
Tried the tasting platter ($110 pp) which was a bit more than what we had planned to spend, but it was incredible! The wine was good although overpriced and the service was fantastic!

Mothers Day Buffet 2012 - a disaster.
Poor planning poor food choices and poor weather.
They obviously weren't ready for the event even though its something they hold every year.
We complained and the manager did save the day by offering us a complimentary lunch the week after which was excellent.
D. H.
This place never ceases to amaze and delight me. The delivery and quality of each unique and wonderful course is perfection. A pleasure to enjoy the intricate, beautifully designed tasty pieces of art. Enjoy - Will be back...

Disappointed with food and view. Maybe I made the wrong food choice as my companion seemed to enjoy it a lot more. Great wine but it should be at the price!

Incredible service along with incredibly beautiful, delicious and unique dishes! Amazing experience overall.

Hidden heaven next to harbour bridge ! Experience of being detached from the busy life. You can stay within transparent tents and enjoy you the cozy experience ! Definitely unique and worth trying . However it might cost you couple of Hundred $$$

(Translated) One of the best restaurants in Sydney. If you could not chose it, I recommend a $ 110 tasting menu. It was our excellent choice.
If you have a hard time choosing the a la cart menu, we recommend a $ 110 six course tasting course. It might be better quality on weekdays because of lunch, but it is the best place in Sydney restaurant. It is a very satisfying place. 😗😗

알라카트 메뉴 선택이 힘들면 110불짜리 6코스 테이스팅 코스를 추천합니다. 평일 점심이라서 퀄리티가 더 좋았을 수 있지만, 시드니 레스토랑에서 손꼽힐만한 곳이에요. 매우 만족한 곳입니다. 😗😗

(Translated) I went to gantry, est., rockpool, pendolino 4 places from Sydney, but here and pendolino were the best overall. In particular, gantry is not more luxurious than est., but it seems to be good for the price because you can eat 110 dollars dinner (est. is about 165 for lunch). It was good because the food wasn't too radical, paid roughly a bit high, and didn't go far beyond the taste of Koreans. There is a kangaroo, but I didn't feel reluctant to eat it, even if I didn't eat lamb well. It costs $10 more for kangaroos and can be replaced with wagyu, but wagyu wasn't highly recommended. Outside outdoor seating was popular, but it wasn't the store where the view was the key anyway, but the seating location seemed to be quite the same. For the $110 course, the amount is quite large, so you don't have to worry about being hungry. Highly recommended.

시드니에서 갠트리, est.,rockpool, pendolino 4군데 갔는데, 여기하고 펜돌리노가 종합적으로 가장 좋았다. 특히, gantry는 est.보다 고급지진 않지만, 110불 정찬(est.는 점심 165정도) 먹을 수 있어 가격 대비 좋은 것 같다. 음식이 너무 급진적이지도 않고, 대략 좀 비싼 가격 지불하고 한국인 입맛에 크게 벗어나지 않는 맛이라 좋았다. 캥거루 가 나오는데, 양고기 잘 못 먹는 내가 먹어도 전혀 거부감이 없었다. 캥거루를 10불정도 더 내고, 와규로 교체 가능하긴 한데, 와규는 크게 추천할만하지는 않았다. 외부 야외 좌석이 인기가 많았으나, 어차피 뷰가 핵심인 가게는 아니라 좌석 위치는 대동소이한 거 같다. 110불 코스의 경우 양이 꽤 되니 배고플 걱정은 안해도 된다. 굉장히 추천함.
