I was skeptical when the concierge at the Park Hyatt recommended a restaurant in the cruise terminal. In my experience, airports, train stations and cruise terminals are not known for world class dining experiences, but like the Grand Central Oyster bar, there are exceptions/ I chose to order rather than do the degustation menu, even though choosing from the interesting...

This is a really great spot to eat, we were there on a business night out and everyone was raving about the food and the views. Give it a try we had no complaints at all.

We opted for the degustation with premium wine paring. The attention to the detail in both the food presentation and texture is amazing. Beautifully delicate and interesting ingredients, excellent service and a wonderful location. Couldn't fault any aspect of our evening.

My favourite pass time is eating and I grew up with an uncle who is an executive chef. So I have been lucky enough to be exposed to exquisite cuisine from a young age. I have not been able to get a dinner reservation at Quay everytime i am in Sydney for a business trip due to short notice but... More

There are a number of high class restaurants in Sydney mostly with exhorbitant prices to match the fame of their chefs and owners. If you are willing to pay very high prices then you expect the "creme de la creme". Every morsel has to be a delight. The Quay achieves this and more. The location and setting is superb and... More

We managed to get a last minute booking while a ferry was in the quay but even a partially blocked view couldn't spoil this for me. (they warned me on the phone that this would be the case) The food we tasted here was delectable, so carefully prepared and the attention to detail in the presentation was incredible. The ingredients... More

Best meal I have ever eaten. My party of four all had the four course dinner option, and between us covered most of the menu items at each course. The food was simply amazing - the textures and flavours and presentation were all as you would expect from a restaurant with this reputation. The service was friendly without being intrusive... More
