Parking is a challenge but we were here on a Wednesday midday so we scored a park right out in front. This must be the only parking that is not time limited or attracts a fee. The service was excellent. There is not a view of the beach from the tables but just across the road behind the bush is the beach. Our entrees (first course) were chorizo with a bit of chilli and pear, walnut & goat cheese bruschetta. Very nice. The mains were ploughman's lunch and fried chicken. I was even impressed with the coleslaw. These were reasonable serves and were easily shared. No problems with paying extra for the coffees too.

We each ordered separate entrees to taste test. Oh and by the way 'entrees' in Australia are considered appetizers. We had the Calamari, very good, very fresh. My travel mate had the kangaroo, yes that is right, kangaroo on the menu. It was a toss up between tasting like liver and venison but either way a big no for me. I had a steak (I'm from Texas do not come for me) and my husband had the Barramundi (Fish). Very very very good. All in all we enjoyed our meal, with wine and dessert. Loved the Crème Brûlée and the sticky rice pudding, best dessert out there. Go see Gil, you will not be disappointed.

菜都很好吃，尤其是牛排，很嫩，很香，服务生态度超级好，我们不太能听懂英语，还会放慢语速，很有耐心，价格还可以，但是在澳大利亚已经算便宜了，地球人不骗地球人，一定要来尝尝！！！！！read more

Here's the thing - yep, it's touristy, but it's truly is a solid place to eat before a Sydney…read moreOpera House show. View is pretty great and the food was actually decent. Thing is, they move a little slow BUT apparently that's just how they roll in these major Australian cities. No one is trying to rush you out so of you do go to a show ask for the check a little in advance of when you'd think you'd like to leave. The calamari was my surprise but I enjoyed the most. Pumpkin was simple and was just a unique side to get at a restaurant like that!

We had dinner b4 a show at Sydney Opera House. Searock is walking distance from SOH, and takes…read morerezzies. Regarding the ambiance, they have indoor & outdoor dining. We chose indoor bc we were going to the show later. We both ordered steaks, and shared chips & a pumpkin wedge. The steaks were cooked as ordered, and the meat was high quality. You can choose a sauce, but I chose none. Likewise the fries were piping hot and double fried, and the pumpkin was moist and nicely seasoned. To end the meal, the affogato was perfect b4 the show. Note: There is a 10% charge for "weekend" service, but gratuity is optional. Ali was an ok waiter. He wasn't proactive, but he took care of our requests quickly. A downside to the service was the hostess tried to seat us at the worst table in the house: The one right up by the front door. I fukn hate when hostesses do this to me, esp when we had a res. The worst table in the house is for drop ins. Searock had what we were looking for: Good food near SOH, and where you can make a res. However, I would have preferred to go to newly re-opened Opera Bar that is even nearer SOH. Unfortunately, they don't take rezzies on weekends. OB was crackin b4 and after the show.

Inside was dark but seems to be a good spot for groups who just want to have a casual and chill time. And thats just want we did lol. we got mushroom risotto, pork chops, steak and their roughy which were all actually pretty good.

If you have never sat there I'd recommend asking for a seat there. Started with the scallop appetizer. Delicious Thai papaya salad served in a scallop shell topped with a lovely scallop. Would get again. For my entree I selected the T-Bone. Ordered medium rare and it was served more on the rare side. This was fine for me as I had half of it leftover so when I reheated it it was closer to medium without being over cooked. I love the spinach served with their steaks. The servers all work very hard. It's a pretty big space that they need to cover. My water glass was refilled twice without me having to ask.

My friend invited me to dinner and to try the tomahawk steak. Great location and friendly and…read moreattentive staff. It's on the expensive side but the view is not cheap! Was excited by the theatre of the steak of it being shown, cooked, cut up at the table and salted. When it arrived it did not seem to be the 1.5kg tomahawk originally shown. It was very nice and well cooked but after gave me the impression of a switcherroo! Let you decide from the pictures. Did it shrink so much at half its thickness during cooking?

Had a wonderful birthday meal here…read more First things first, they do book up so definitely make a reservation. Inside has a more formal ambiance we appreciated, but outside - assuming no cruise ship in the way - is probably the way to go for views, as we requested an inside top floor table with a view and didn't get much of one; turns out not many tables inside with a view. Service was mostly good but oddly slow in a few spots, the wine list was on iPad, and our pomme puree (mashed potatoes) came quite late. Steak was very good. MB7+ tomahawk is a terrific presentation, perfectly cooked to your specification, and described in detail. If you want the very highest quality (MB9) unfortunately thay was not on the menu when we visited, but it was surprisingly difficult find higher than MB7 on the regular menu of any of their competitors so I digress... (keyword: regular) Rest of the food was excellent. Little gem salad and chips are included with your tomahawk, the pomme puree was deliciously creamy if you like creamy mashed potatoes, broccolini hit the spot. And the scallops, while modest in appearance, won high praise. As someone who normally has a hard time going out for steak, given I can almost always make a better one at home, I do have to say that for a special occasion, 6HEAD was on the mark.

Maybe they could have used another server to help out. No one checked on our meals or refilled water until we were done. Decided not to try dessert as we felt it might be a long wait.

We were seated downstairs in their covered outdoor seating area. They also have indoor seating upstairs. Service wasn't too bad overall but they really could have checked on us more often after they had delivered our food. The food was kind of mixed. A couple in the group had ordered steaks and they were bland and tough. I ordered the Kangaroo for the table and we got that medium rare. Super tender and while it could have used more seasoning, the sauce we got with it paired perfectly. For myself I got the burger and beef ribs combo. For me this is where things go down hill. The beef ribs were TOUGH, hard to bite through and get off of the bone. As for the burger it was pretty dry but luckily I had the sauce from the kangaroo to fix that. I can say that the fries were perfectly cooked though. They have a number of cocktails to choose from but the beer menu was pretty limited.

Stopped in here, apparently like several other reviewers, specifically to try kangaroo for the…read morefirst time. There were 5 of us and 2 of us had never tried it. The locals we were with cautioned us that it's generally very lean and can be tough so we were a bit apprehensive despite wanting to give it a shot so we decided to get it as an appetizer for the table to share and order other mains (it wasn't offered as an app on the menu, but they were gracious enough to do this for us). It cane out a perfect medium rare and I honestly would have believed you if you told me it was beef. I expected a gamier flavor but it was very mild, perhaps a slight note of iron in the aftertaste, but actually very good. For my main I got a steak sandwich and unfortunately I wish I had just gotten the kangaroo as my main, because the steak sandwich was just okay. On a positive note the server did replace my wine after a fly decided to practice treading in it (it failed). We were sitting outside, so I definitely don't blame them that it happened and they replaced my whole glass despite the fact that I had already drank half of it, so I give them points for that. That said, if I did come back here it would only be for the kangaroo if I happened to be here with someone that had never had it before.
