After checking with hotel staff what the best sea food restaurant was in Sydney, they recommended Rockpool, so we booked a table, being advised that the restaurant, was a trouser and collar place. On arrival at the restaurant, we were greeted by a member of staff and shown to our table, now Rockpool is meant to be a ' fine... more

I've been to quite a number of one, two and, yes, three Michelin starred restaurants. Rockpool seems to try hard enough to be at that same level, and has received numerous accolades, but they're not quite star material yet. I had the nine course meal, and was rushed through courses one to four until I suggested that we needn't finish... more

Fabulous seafood goes without saying. This is a restaurant for very special occasions. Always memorable. On our last visit the seafood omelette in a "superior" broth was truly sensational. more

Beautiful restaurant. Superb service. The food was amazing. Every mouthful was quite literally a taste sensation. I have a shellfish allergy & they could not have been more helpful. Loved it! more

Haven't been here for a few year, but I had my first degustation experience at Rockpool, and I will never forget it. It was amazing and delicious. more

Contributors to “Restaurant” magazine reckon “Rockpool” is the world’s 49th best restaurant. Not based on my experience on 25/11/08 it isn’t. I live near Birmingham which, until recently, has been regarded as a bit of a gastronomic backwater, but I can think of at least four places there which would have knocked spots off “Rockpool” in terms of the quality... more

Pricey but worth it. Superb dining by attentive, professional staff. Crisp, elegant, contemporary decor. There are two parts to this restaurant, the main area and a bar area. The food is less expensive, and no less fabulous, in the bar area and the customer-caring establishment allowed us to eat bar food in the main restaurant. As ex-New Yorkers we are... more

Located in an unassuming building in the Rocks section of Sydney, you will likely walk by this establishment without even noticing it in the AM. But, come evening, the shades come up on the best fish dining we experienced in Sydney. The decor is clean, almost minimalist and although we started dining early during our last night in town before... more

I discovered Rockpool as I was walking along George Street. While the dining room menu was more than I wanted to deal with on my own, the Oyster Bar menu drew me in. Even though I was alone, the staff was friendly and most accomodating. I had a salad and a fish dish which was described on the menu as... more

My husband and I liked Rockpool so much that we visited it several times during a week I Sydney. We have thus sampled most of the delicious items in the interesting and varied menu. Each dish, from the anchovy canapés to the signature date tart, and everything in between, is beautifully prepared. Fish is pristinely fresh and always perfectly cooked.... more
