Concrete walls that are falling apart are actually a beautiful juxtaposition for the modern light fittings and chic marble counters. This bustling restaurant serves delicious food including a very popular lamb. A whole lamb shoulder is $80 and feeds 4-5 people. It is delicious and a must-try dish. The service is impeccable here with the waitstaff knowledgable about wine pairings and complementary dishes. Come if you want to have a casual but classy meal with friends or a date.
It's a really vibey restaurant, but you need to be there for booking time or you just might miss your table and they are very strict about sending you off when it is time for the next sitting, no leway even if the next guests are not there yet. That being said, it is great food and I would definitely go back, maybe just for the later sitting so we can relax a little and enjoy the good wine menu more!
I was a bit hesitat of all the buzz surrounding this Australian Greek restaurant, Potts Point sounded like a posh location, after all some of the best Greek in Sydney is found in the Inner west. But when I've heard Jonathan Barthelmes was getting back to his origins and was always trying to make the next meal he serves better than the last, I said: "Let's go and spend $100 on this meal". The place didn't dissapoint. My friend and I sat at the Bar and started our meal with 2 Greek martinis, the bar and floor staff were polite, attentive and definitely "eye-candy"; the design was simple, earthy, and luxurious.
My Greek friend was absolutely delighted with the TARAMASALATA MULLET ROE DIP (best she has tasted in Sydney) . ...read more
