We ate here with friends and got a great table as well as good food. The whole trout cooked in a bag with fennel salad is highly recommended! The actual space however which is the restaurant is pretty dark and boring, and has poor acoustics which made it hard to talk and relax. Otherwise, all good. More

Nothing worse than loving a place then returning and finding it is just a shadow of your last review. This is what happened here at Fix. Everything which made it so appealing has gone, to be replaced with truely slack service, indifferent food and an owner who is more interested in drinking his favorite wines than serving them. Avoid.

Wine, vino, fermented grape juice. I love it. Drinking it, talking about it, learning about it, collecting it. It’s all good. So, I was just a tad excited to be spending an evening with Stuart Knox, smh Sommelier of the Year, at his restaurant, Fix St James. It’s not often the Sommelier owns the restaurant, rather than the Chef, but... More

This was one of my rare nights in sydney and I was looking forward to a good food experience. I thought I'd look at the Westfield options and even though we naturally resist the thought of eating in a shopping mall, the number of quality restaurants seemed irresistible. Unfortunately after wandering through the mall for 10 minutes, I still couldn't... More

Being a wine buff, the by the glass wine list is absolutely impressive. The main wine list avoids all the over priced burgundies and the usual Barossa staples. The food takes a half step back to the wine. You do need to approach Fix with wine in mind and food as the secondary. Be brave. Ask for a wine and... More

Given the ratings for this restaurant, I was left somewhat disappointed. Service was as described (very friendly and positive) but the menu was very limited (despite what was on the much hyped Board) and the food was mediocre. Similarly, the wine list was quite limited, although what they did have was fine. Atmosphere was really non existent on our Monday... More

Don't go if you want waiters to fawn over you all night or you want a quiet intimate meal. But if you want honest food beautifully cooked with a stunning wine list here you go. There are lots of great wines in the $50 bracket and some of the pastas are beautiful dishes that can easily fill you up so... More

A work colleague took me to this tiny little winebar/restaurant after work one Friday. I was so surprised - what a well kept secret! We went for drinks but actually stayed for dinner and I was really impressed with the food. We had fantastic oysters with a superb riesling that the very attentive waiter chose for us. The wine list... More

http://theyumlist.blogspot.com/2011/07/fix-st-james-sydney-australia.html Fix St. James is an affable little nook in the heart of Sydney and a terrific place for a drink with friends. They have food too, which looked enticing, but I didn't try any so can't comment. Their charismatic wine list however is more than enough to make a worthwhile detour from your schedule. You'll find wines here not... More
