Was in Australia on a trip which included Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Naturally, tried to venture to new restaurants. Dinner at Sardine Room, which I went with 3 other friends, turned out to be the best meal I had in Australia! First of all, Angela lived up to her reputation as a fun, gracious host. Her casual manner and sardonic... More

Absolute perfect execution for both food and service, enjoyed everything. The fish was sublime and it is easy to see why the restaurant is so highly rated. Great wine list and nice atmosphere. Book before, a little bit crowded..

The restaurant and food was recommended to me by few friends and they took me there for dinner. The restaurant ambiance, atmosphere, decor and synthetic sense was something one can't forget to praise. Its a small, tiny and intimate cosy property thats also has an outside seating on the pavement of the street. We ordered the fish and chips and... More

We returned to the Sardine Room this year after discovering it on our annual trip to Sydney last year. We were staying at the Blue Hotel at Woolloomolloo (never could spell that) and this restaurant is a 5-10 minute walk away (but up a huge flight of steps-good for working up an appetite). It's small and intimate and cosy but... More

This restaurant was recommended to us with Angela sitting down with us to "get to know us" before making a recommendation. We had lamb and some local wine that was so very complimentary to the lamb. We enjoyed 2 dinners here, and would go back more, except it's an 18 hour flight from home!

Just returned from Sydney and our boutique hotel was literally across the road from this tiny restaurant. Being visitors we couldnt book in advance and first evening were told no tables were available although there were only three tables being used. Thinking we were too early we went next door! However I kept an eye on the vacant tables and... More

After 6 months of geographical separation from my fiance, I was looking forward to great food and atmosphere to celebrate our first meal together. I have a food allergy and when making the booking I was assured it'd be taken care of and it was. I can't speak highly enough of the wonderfully warm staff, the great drinks and most... More

My partner and I visited here on a Saturday night for a special occasion, based in large part on the great reviews on TripAdvisor, but also based on recommendations from Potts Point locals. We were greeted upon arrival by the owner herself, which was a great touch! We then had the most fantastic seafood here - for appetizers we had... More

We visited this place based on the reviews on tripadevisor. What a lovely place. We arrived early in teh evening so it was not crowded yet. The owner and chef were so nice, it made our trip very memorable. Th fish moussakas was EXCELLENT! Service was excellent. However, as the nigght got darker, it got a bit too crowded.

Being a self confessed foodie, and tried many places in sydney. This has definitely stood out. i had the raviolli starter and the fish moussaka was divine. Dont count the calories tho - this is treat evening. I must say the host/owner was just entertaining and honest about pairing and flavours. Great food, atmosphere and service. I'll be back to...
