Tried the prawns and shark bay scallops for entree - both were so good, we can’t choose which one stands out more. For mains, we had the dry-eyed wagyu eye of chuck 200g and the dry-aged hereford sirloin on the bone 400g, each were the perfect size and taste for my partner and I. Pavlova and green mango sorbet were so refreshing to finish the meal!

Rockpool Bar & Grill, Sydney—stunning Art Deco setting, exceptional menu and wine list. Sommelier Daron picked a classic Australian Shiraz that really delivered. Impeccable service, perfectly timed courses. Huge steak selection; Erika explained cuts, marbling, flavor… and the steak arrived perfectly cooked! Beautiful plating—save room for dessert and for an added bonus, the caramel popcorn + cappuccino is a winner.
Had my Birthday dinner at Rockpool. Food was great and the cocktails too. But the waiter actually forgot to write down my order considering I was the Birthday Girl ! I was really looking forward to the lobster and the squid ink dishes which sadly never arrived. Considering the price tag I was expecting better service. The seafood is obviously great and if you are a seafood lover like me you can try it but I think for that price range Sydney has far better seafood restaurants to offer. The vibe is posh and the decor is okay. I suppose after living in Doha for 15 years Sydney doesn’t really look very luxurious lol
We went to Rockpool Bar & Grill for our anniversary dinner and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.
The setting is elegant and timeless, perfect for a special evening, and the attentive service ensured great experience.
We had two dietary requirements and the team managed them seamlessly across every dish, even offering to create an off-menu dessert when the regular option couldn’t be adapted to our needs.
We started with the haloumi appetizer, which was beautifully grilled with a light char and served with pickled currants that balanced the dish. For mains, we ordered the sirloin and the eye of flank, and both steaks were superb, cooked precisely as requested with rich, wood-fire flavour and excellent seasoning. While both the sides, the Potato Purée & the Creamed Corn were great, but for me the Creamed Corn is a must-have!
This is a standout destination in Sydney for fine dining and celebrating special moments
Highly recommended. I will definitely be going back…
PS: Most of the there Steaks are Halal-sourced (except one of the lines). Please inform the staff and there will happily accommodate this.
Outstanding steak and a fantastic dining experience at Rockpool Bar & Grill!
The steak was perfectly cooked—tender, rich in flavour, and clearly top-quality. Service was attentive and professional throughout the evening, and the grand dining room creates an elegant atmosphere that makes the experience feel special.
One of the best places in Sydney for a great steak. Highly recommended!
