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. More

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. More

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

The food here honestly is great, but a lot of place around Sydney are producing amazing meals these days - what sets Quay apart is the location, service, view and the wine. Please, if you are already thinking about spending 200 dollars on a meal go that little bit extra and get the matching wines, you won't be disappointed! More

Everything was fantastic - views, food and service. We went during an October Food Week a few years ago therefore the price was very reasonable at the time. I would love to return but I may have to save up for the experience now that the restaurant is so highly regarded. More
