Located conveniently in the most busy of Sydney 's Central Business District, Gowings Bar Grill boasts an impressive seasonal menu and an equally impressive customer service. In other words, a perfect target for this foodie 's adventure comeback.<br/ <br/ From the conceirge at the front desk to tasteful interior decor, this Bar Grill is certainly more refined than your average bar and grill. The dim lighting and the abundant display of glassware created a soft and intimate atmosphere perfect for a date night. Through out the night the staff were attentive and we found no difficulty flagging them down.<br/ <br/ We ordered the tuna steak and half roasted chicken to share, along with the lemon...
Highly recommended dining here. <br/ <br/ We came late on Saturday night without a booking, which was no issue as we were given a table almost instantly. Inside the restaurant it is dimly lit and feels romantic, would be a good date night restaurant.<br/ <br/ Some complimentary bread was served, toasted nicely and still warm to the touch. <br/ We didn't know what wine to choose since our order was a mix of seafood and meat so we left it to the waiter to choose. Ata Rangi Sauvignon Blanc 2016, not bad not bad in deed. Was really smooth, light and not overly sweet.<br/ <br/ First came a dozen oysters, 6 Pacific and 6 Sydney Rock. Nothing to fault there, they were juicy fresh and the condiments...
We arrived in Sydney and are staying at QT. With not having much breakfast because of our early flight we decided to treat ourselves to Gowing which is the fine dining restaurant inside the hotel on the 1st Floor. My lovely wife order for us and she started off with the Burrata. We both haven’t tried this before but we both love cheese. We expected it to be heavy but it was so light and fresh ! We continued our meal with the Caesar salad which is present with a show of them making it in front of you. Our waiter Irnesto put on the show and his lovely charisma made it fun and delicious. Our meals was followed by duck fat potato’s and the handmade pasta Mafaldi. I really enjoyed our fine dining...
We stayed at QT for our anniversary and had the pleasure of enjoying the room service menu for dinner followed by breakfast at Gowings.<br/ <br/ Dinner was the hot dog, steak and chicken salad which were all delicious options. The chicken salad was definitely a stand out for me and my husband said the hot dog, though a little small, was his favourite meal of the weekend. Sadly we were too lazy to take pictures! <br/ <br/ Breakfast was the farmhouse breakfast (huge and all components were extra tasty ... except the toast which was a little un inspired) and the salmon omelette which came recommended by the waitress and didn't disappoint!<br/ <br/ I've eaten at Gowings before for a work dinner...

Gowings is a great cocktail bar/restaurant to pop into if you're heading to the theatre downstairs. The cocktails are innovative and often, delicious! <br/ <br/ Dining here was also pleasant, although I recommend you book ahead to avoid disappointment, as it can become quite busy especially if there is a show on. Really enjoyed the expansive menu and the way the cocktail bar is separate from the restaurant, so it feels more intimate. The service overall was great, although had to ask for our drink order a few times, as there was a long waiting time between ordering and receiving them.<br/ <br/ Ultimately, a great cocktail bar and restaurant and would definitely recommend if you're in the are...
Gowings is somewhat of an institution. Everyone knows it but I suspect most haven’t been. It is naturally a bit pretentious, a bit over priced, but it is definitely worth a visit.... if you have cash to burn. It is not that it is super expensive, it just not the kind of place where you order a wine that is less than $100. You are eating not just the steak and drinking that wine, but the haughtiness. The restaurant decor is quite modern and edgy. I like it a lot. Will I be back? Probably not for a while.
Great bar with an awesome selection of spirits, draught beers and cocktails. Decor was awesome, I'm not a designer but would say 1920's-30's? Food was amazing, and prices you would expect for a restaurant like this. Oh, and the girl at the door on the street was hilarious, in a good way!
Great place for a late night catchup, as it is conveniently located in the CBD, however it is a little hard to find, which adds to its exclusivity and overall experience. The drinks made really well here, and the food is great quality and is obviously made fresh.

Love the pork belly, it's slowly cooked which is very tender and juicy, the bbq seafood mix is kinda ok, the rib eye is also a good choice with red wine.
Had lunch with my hubby there today. Beautiful food and excellent service. Nice vibes and atmosphere. Loved the cod
