The Rocks and Circular Quay Restaurants: Park Hyatt Sydney
  • Satisfaction:
  • Had dinner with friends at this hotel restaurant on November 19, 2007. The service was not only bad, it was disgraceful. Even though we were a party of six, with a centrally located table, the unfriendly wait staff appeared to forget about us. The waiter did not inquire if we wished a pre-dinner drink, and seemed annoyed when we requested one. The service was slow, almost non-existent. Food, when we got some of our order, was OK. No offer on the part of the waiter for dessert. Finally we all just got tired and disgusted, then tried to get our check. This too required repeated requests. It was obvious that the wait staff had no respect for us, the restaurant, the hotel, or their jobs. Their attitude was "this is a hotel restaurant, and you'll never return, so we don't have to care." The whole experience was awful. Never, never dine there.

    The average meal was impossible to appreciate because of the awful service.

    The Rocks and Circular Quay Restaurants: Have a pizza before the recital.
  • Satisfaction:
  • My daughter shouted us to a lovely dinner at an Italian restaurant (don't remember the name) situated on the eastern wharf of Circular Quay. It is the first Italian restaurant coming from circular quay ferry/bus/train stop and you will pass it if you are going to the opera house. This of course is presupposing that you don't drive into the opera house carpark that follows on from the end of Macquarie Street. We sat in the open to better people watch and enjoy the general excitement and lights of the area.

    My friend and I both had a pizza each, while my daughter enjoyed a chicken and pasta dish. The meals were wonderful. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. My pizza was very like those that I ate in Italy as it was thin and crispy (great pastry), a extra virgin olive oil was used in the sauce as well as fresh tomatoes and their own selection of fresh herbs. Absolutely wonderful. Considering the location, I believe that the price was very reasonable.

    The Rocks and Circular Quay Restaurants: Gelati / Gelato
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is just a tiny over-the-counter gelati place where you can only take away but their gelati is great (not having any italian gelati experience I am slightly uneducated in the ways of gelati but I always like it). There are heaps of flavours and you can combine them for a mixed experience. A lovely treat on a hot day in Sydney as you walk around Circular Quay. Aha! Now that I have returned from a trip around Europe, I can safely compare the Italian gelati (I had 20 scoops in 6 days! oink, oink) to the Sydney stuff. They are both good. The Sydney profiterole one is a little dry though. All the others are great.

    Pretty much pick a flavour and I like it!

    The Rocks and Circular Quay Restaurants: For breakfast & lunch
  • Satisfaction:
  • A cute little place tucked away in one of the narrow old alleyways in The Rocks. Open for breakfast and light lunches, from 8.30am to about 3pm. You're in the oldest part of the city, away from the traffic in a real oasis of relaxation.

    They prepare a superb scrambled eggs with smoked salmon breakfast. The coffee is also excellent, so it's a great way to ease yourself into the day!
